Bob The Sperm is a 1996 independent movie directed by Johan Gøtterberg, a Swedish medical student with much free time on his hands. The movie's storyline follows the life (and eventual death) of a sperm, named Bob, as he struggles through the hardships of life as a sperm. Instead, Bob the Sperm was shot entirely under a light microscope. The monochrome lighting gave the film an unexpected air of poignancy, while Johan provided the narrative in English with a suitably amusing Swedish accent.

  • Bob The Sperm is a 1996 independent movie directed by Johan Gøtterberg, a Swedish medical student with much free time on his hands. The movie's storyline follows the life (and eventual death) of a sperm, named Bob, as he struggles through the hardships of life as a sperm. The movie spans a full 30 minutes and was intended as an educational film for pre-teens. As such, the original plan called for bright colours, and cheerful stop-motion animation. However, the cost of several tens of millions of identical clay models and a threat of legal action from the creators of Bob the Builder forced Gøtterberg to re-think. The catchphrases: "Can we fertilize it?" and "Probably not but, providing we arrive at the ovum in sufficient numbers, there is a reasonable probability that one of us can" were quietly dropped. Instead, Bob the Sperm was shot entirely under a light microscope. The monochrome lighting gave the film an unexpected air of poignancy, while Johan provided the narrative in English with a suitably amusing Swedish accent.
