Les nouvelles aventures de Doug

Sure, there might not be a whole lot to say about this show, but it's had a good run for almost 7 years. The reason I like this show is because it doesn't have to do with kids trying to save the world with their crazy pocket monsters or seeing how far an animated show can go.

Doug deals with problems that a lot of kids face, some that will last a lifetime or some that are just part of a phase. I've been watching this show ever since I was 6 years old, and I was saddened after watching the last episode last year. It really showed how Doug grew up over the years, instead of keeping him in 5th grade the whole time. That's how childhood is, and that's why this show really appealed to me over the years.

I started watching this show about a year ago when it started on ToonDisney, and I love it! Though, when I go back and look at the old Doug (which I didnt watch until very recently) I dont like it, and never have. Perhaps if I had started watching the original Doug when it came on, I might like it and hate this, who knows. Im glad that they changed the title to "Disneys Doug" when Disney carried it over, though, "Brand Spanking New Doug" is a terrible title. I give it 7 out of 10.

This cartoon is a continuation from the fan favorite Doug from the 90s. Only difference is it's produced by Disney and not Nick.

Takes place a year after the events in the first series. Where Doug and his friends enter Junior High. With a load of changes that give Bluffington a total twist. We see some familiar faces along with Doug, as well as some new ones. Not to mention the usual lifestyle, problems, and activities involved in each episode like the in the previous series.

Designed, and animated by the same company: Jumbo. Voiced by the same actors except for Billy West who didn't want to be part of it. Same multi color characters. But it all feels entirely different from the cartoon I knew from the early 90s.

A lot of other fans don't compare this to being equal to the original. Which I agree too, as the Disney Doug contains no charm or brilliants what-so-ever. most of the episodes are good to watch, but like 3/4's of them are very uninteresting, out of character, misleading, poorly written, as well as unoriginal.

You might ask why in the word a great cartoon like Doug could receive a less-worthy sequel. For me it could either be A. There's no Honker Burger(which was bought out in this series under the name of the cheesy French restaurant), B. Doug involved in rather stupid situations than before, C. Adding Dirtbike as the new member of the Funny family rather pointless, or D. Having the whole series under the name of Disney.

Whatever the real reason is, Disney's Doug fails to be a fan favorite for most of the other Doug fans. I'm perfectly fine watching the original countless times as I find that one more appealing than this. If you hate this second series, then stay away from the movie. See my review on that one for more detail.

To be fair this review should be titled "There is no real or valid difference between Old and New Doug to jump to the conclusion that the older version was superior." But that is way too long of a title.

First, the obvious differences between the shows, just to be fair to those 90's kids with some valid points. Nick's theme song was and will be more catchy, but honestly I'm not watching the show for the theme song. Doug's little sister, Cleopetra Dirtbike Funnie, is a pointless character, and usually baby character in shows are the worst. People complain about the redesign of characters...honestly it's not as drastic as people like to make it out to be, the only exception being Patti, but honestly I like her redesign. Maybe it was me, but I always thought Patti's hair from the Nick series looked like a yellow blob compared to Disney's which actually looks like hair. The Beets breaking up...honestly, I don't care for them, but If others liked the songs than who am I to judge. The Honker Burger not being there...It's a location guys...are we really steeping that low just to find complaints? As for the Disney episodes being 30 min compared to 10, that is definitely better.

Honestly, the heart of the show is still the same in both. The "Lack of spirit" argument is kind of bogus. Really I think 90's kids complain about the two because it isn't the exact same...honestly, overlook those small differences, it's like the show never got rebooted but simply had another season.

I love this series so much! It really didn't change that much lol just wanna hate everything cuz it's disney! That's all! I love both versions of it! I use to collect the milk cartons and read the books Disneys Doug is a gem and better than anything on tv now.
