Bob the Builder

Where do I start with this garbage? The redesign on The vehicles are horrendous. Though you look too realistic. The episode Are toooo Repetitive. Some of them are good. But Most of them are bad. Bob's redesign, he looks like a 15-year-old. And When did a check bought the franchise? He looks like he was 12. The machines don't squash and stretch like in the original and When d h x bought the franchise they made it too cartoony while still keeping the realistic stuff I'll say I would like to mention like piltered. Silk blue so you have a blue cat roaming around a realistic setting And being chased by a realistic looking dog Also I like to mention that the human designs look kind of creepy Also, the new characters are pointless. And most of them are rip-offs of previous characters.

Mattel I hope you're doing terrible like stop ruining everyone's favourite tv shows like thomas or fireman Sam or that this year you are going to bring back Barney or Bob the builder or should I say bill the braker what's next roary the racing car like every episode it's the same thing every episode that one episode we're it talks about how Bob becomes a builder it is an old episode not to mention the looks of the building trucks and others construction vehicles are ugly as so Mattel the lesson that you learn is IF IT ANT BROKE DON'T FIX IT!!!! And if is broke DON'T FIX IT BRO DON'T FIX IT STOP.

I never watched the first incarnation of Bob, but I have a two year old boy and he LOVES the 'new' rebooted Bob. The first two 'seasons' were great but after that they changed the models and made the show more 'slap stick' and we dislike those. You can see the seasons on Amazon, and the YouTube channel for the this Bob the Builder reboot only has the the 'good' episodes.

Most of the negative reviews seem to focus on how this show is different than the original. Yes, it's a reboot! We tried watching the older series but none of us like it; my son seems to dislike the models for the trucks (frankly, I think they look weird and creepy with their grinning grilles). I think that whether or not you watched the original absolutely affects how much you like the reboot.

The machines are sort of goofy - as an adult, you realise they are sort of children with different personalities and they are frankly naive and simple in the way they act. This is what kids need - actions and characters they can relate to on their level. The machines are often impulsive, but so are kids, and they can see the consequences. The lessons are gentle, like "don't hide things from your parents (Bob)". Not all machines are good at all jobs is another one, and teamwork can make a difference.

The music is good and the voice acting (British voices) is great! The American Bob doesn't do nearly as good of a job as the British one, FYI. The models aren't meant to be lifelike, and I think they are fine for what they are.

Where do I begin: o yes, the designs

• scoop has the same locomotion but feels extremely bendy somehow, unpleasant to look at
• muck is even clunkier than his stop motion version
• rolly is just more awkward to look at
• lofty lacks the expressions he's famous for
• dizzy lacks the energy but moves even more
• the humans look like they belong on attack on titan, with pure white, almost triangular looking teeth, microscopic eyes, and tacky looking skin (with the exception of Leo, due to the DARKNESS OF HIS SKIN preventing it from being an eyesore. It's very concerning when this is the case)

Now for their personality:

• the machines are absolute BAFOONS
• lofty goes from nervous to cringey
• Bob seems addicted to schedules
• the rest of the cast are self absorbed brats, refusing to pay the crew, even though they often RISK THEIR LIVES for the sake of production

The story of every episode feels boring, even if the idea is unique (which it very rarely is) Mattel screwed up with this one. Fireman Sam is ok, spawning some average movies, whereas Thomas and friends is tolerable compared to what they latter decided to do to it (oh god I'd give that -5 starts) I'd give this -3 stars if I could.

Where do I even begin, this reboot is horrible. One of my biggest complaints is the changes to the character's personalities, they got rid of lofty's shy personality and replaced it with a normal personality, that shy personality was what made lofty lofty! Scoops personality was changed into a little kid, nothing like the original series, all the characters are now immature brats as well. I hate the new voice actors, they sound nothing like the characters in the original show. Let's not forget that Dizzy and Roley aren't main characters anymore and are now supporting characters that pop up once in a while, dizzy poured the cement and Roley rolled it, how do the buildings have floors! Dizzy and Roley are also excluded from the theme song, they are very important machines, they just had this stupid truck named two tonne take their place. I hate Leo, not because he's black, but because he's just generally a bad character. Then all of a sudden the animation turned cheap in season 3, the animation in season 3 looks like they ran out of money. Mattel ruined Bob the Builder, shame on them.
