The fact that Caillou had not one, but two reboots scares me deeply

[JustaHedgehoginSonicBoom]

The Rugrats reboot is the definition of “not everything needs to be in 3D”. like honestly, it’s scary.

[smartzombeh]

That ain't Bob the Builder that's Bartholomew the Constructer 💀

[GrandCorsair]

The Bob redesign looks like he belongs in one of those 3D Tv Ad for a local repair business.

The worst part of All Engines Go is that despite the negative reception, Mattel just cannot handle the critisicm and just use the “It’s made for kids” excuse. But when the kids themselves don’t like it, then they have no excuse. Mattel just wants money, plain and simple.

[YanntastischGER]

The saddest thing about the failed 3D shows is that you can create perfectly charming worlds in 3D.
You can even make 3D look handmade by add cartoon shaders, or make it look like stop motion. Many games and animations do it. But those big animation studios make it as quantitative as possible for the quick buck.

That kid who compared All Engines Go to Splatoon 2 is a legend in my eyes

[kamalionify]

Tbh I've always been IN LOVE with Caillou's original white border backgrounds. It really gave the impression of looking at a children's book. I miss that stuff.

A few things about Bob the Builder and All Engines Go:
For the former, Wendy was a part of the original show. She may have been a builder less earlier on from what I remember, but she's still a member of the team, and is more prevalent as a builder towards the end. What diversity was introduced in the reboot was Leo, who feels like a great addition to the cast. It's just a shame that the show was as bad as it was. Also, I'm shocked that you were able to find footage of Dizzy, since she and Roley were basically demoted to extras. Lastly, I found the movie to be fun.
By contrast, I have ZERO respect for All Engines Go. The artstyle is terrible, every last bit of logic was thanos snapped out of reality, The Fat Controller has an IPad, and there's an annoying Autistic stereotype (I can't even call him a representation, his existence offends me that much) in the show.

[coolfinel]

One positive thing I will say about All Engines Go is that I like that they got Neil Crone to return as the voice of Gordon. He previously voiced Gordon over 20 years ago in the film Thomas and the Magic Railroad.

[Potatomanisgreat]

They did Bob the builder so damn dirty 💀

[Sammy_The_Umbreon]

Honestly, especially with a show like Thomas, I don't get why they won't just air old episodes. It clearly worked, people loved it back then, why would it be different now?

[BinglesP]

I'm just happy that the people behind Caillou actually improved on the original show, likely by listening to the criticism(I know big companies tend to be blind to feedback, but it'd be pretty impossible to avoid in this case). Too bad the damage has already been done; I feel like a lot of the bad reviews for the new one are just going off of tradition.

[waffleauflauf]

One thing I'd like to correct about what you said at 3:18, there was a female construction worker in the original Bob the Builder. She was a pretty prominent character from what I remember, even having episodes centered around her.

[Apolloscleric]

The thing I never understood about Caillou is how much parents complain about it having bad messages and steering their kids wrong but then they still let their kids watch it. How hard is it to tell a five-seven year old "You can't watch the Caillou show because its a bad influence."?

[marilynincorporatedofficial]

Bro, my body physically does NOT want to watch the Rugrats reboot whenever I try.

[ryanmills]

I used to work in the toy business and after the 2015 Bob the Builder reboot flopped, I had to deal with no end of angry grandparents eager to get Bob the Builder toys only to find there weren't any and they were utterly oblivious that the reboot had been such an utter failure to the point that the toy lines were scrapped.

[CarysCreatesThings]

Wendy the builder was in the original Bob the Builder series. She even got a mention in the theme song! So the creepy reboot doesn’t deserve credit for introducing her.

[GWKTM]

Well...I think I could make a list of reboots that are genuinely good and genuinely make justice to their source materials:
- All New Popeye Hour
- Popeye and Olive Comedy Show
- The Further Adventures of Superted
- Twisted Tales of Felix the Cat
- All-new Woody Woodpecker show
- 90s Casper (the friendly ghost)
- Mickey Mouse Works
- Biker Mice From Mars 2006
- Tom & Jerry Tales
- A new touch of blue (The Smurfs)

Just the look on Scoop's face in the intro slide gives me nightmares. BRING BACK GRILL MOUTHS!
