Patrick Loubert

Patrick Loubert was one of the founders of the Canadian animation studio, Nelvana Limited, along with Clive A. Smith and Michael Hirsh. He has produced, and executive-produced, much of the company's most memorable fare.

At the beginning of his career, Loubert published The Great Canadian Comic Books, a 1971 book focusing on the early days of local comic lore, with partner Hirsh. Under the alias of Speed Savage, the name of an obscure comic book hero, he wrote the 1972 live-action cult film, Voulez-vous coucher avec God?. With Don Haig, he scripted and directed 125 Rooms of Comfort, another live-action project, in 1974.

Loubert and his colleagues won a Daytime Emmy in 1990 (in the category Best Animated Program) for the children's television series Beetlejuice.

Famous quotes containing the word patrick:

    The loosening, for some people, of rigid role definitions for men and women has shown that dads can be great at calming babies—if they take the time and make the effort to learn how. It’s that time and effort that not only teaches the dad how to calm the babies, but also turns him into a parent, just as the time and effort the mother puts into the babies turns her into a parent.
    —Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
