    Can we fix it? No we made it worse

    Listen up, fellow construction enthusiasts! Buckle your tool belts and brace yourselves because I've got some choice words about that abomination called the "Bob the Builder" reboot from 2015. Grab a hard hat, because we're about to bulldoze through this mess!

    Animation Catastrophe: Remember the cozy stop-motion animation from the original series? Well, the reboot chucked that out the window like yesterday's soggy sandwich. Instead, we got soulless CGI that felt like it was assembled by a malfunctioning robot. Where's the warmth? The tactile charm? It vanished faster than a misplaced hammer. Not to mention that this is from 2015 and even the animation of Jimmy Neutron looks better than this. When did Jimmy Neutron come out? 2001.

    Character Makeovers Gone Wrong: Bob, Wendy, and the gang got facelifts that would make Picasso cringe. Seriously, they were redesigned beyond recognition. The original characters had personality-quirks, flaws, and all. But in the reboot, they're as bland as a plain bagel. Congrats, creators-you flanderized them into cardboard cutouts!

    Paw Patrol Envy: Oh, they tried to ride the "Paw Patrol" wave. But guess what? Bob ain't no rescue pup. He's a builder, dammit! The reboot's desperate attempt to mimic the Paw Patrol animation style was like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. Newsflash: It didn't work. At all.

    Charm? What Charm? The original series had heart. It taught us about teamwork, grit, and the joy of fixing stuff. But the reboot? It's like they tossed the charm manual into a bonfire. Maybe they thought charm was overrated. Well, guess what? Charm is the secret sauce, and they forgot to sprinkle it on their CGI disaster.

    In conclusion, the "Bob the Builder" reboot was a wrecking ball to our childhood memories. It's time to grab our pitchforks (or maybe just our tiny plastic shovels) and demand justice. Bring back the stop-motion magic, restore the characters' souls, and for the love of all things construction-related, find that lost charm!

    Can they fix it no they can't

    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.

    This reboot is bad

    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.

    Good bunch of first episodes, but then the animation veers off.

    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.

    Boring.

    The OG show was alright, but this reboot is just nothing but a waste of 11 minutes and money. I begrudgingly binged all of Season 1 and it was awful it didn't even feel like the original at all, the reboot has dumb comedy, boring story's and set-ups, and lackluster music including the theme song. Mattel turned Bob the Builder into a snore-fest.
