I'm still unhappy about this

I'm still unhappy about this.

I'm seeing two fruits here.

>The kids grow up with VeggieTales and love it as small children.
>This comes out, the youngest is still only 8, and is super excited to see it. Cannot contain himself, he's so excited.
>It comes on. Oh boy!
>If you saw Episode I in the theater the day it came out, remember the electric thrill in the audience when the music started? Remember the energy palpably draining from the theater? Remember the dejected, embarrassed wtf-just-happened in their faces when the credits rolled?
>That all plays out in my kid's eyes in a single minute.
>5 minutes in, sad and angry, he asks me to turn it off.
>Doesn't speak of it again for a year. Then one day out of nowhere: "Dad, remember that new VeggieTales? What was wrong with them, why did they ruin it?"
I'm with ya there, OP.

loved VeggieTales as a kid, what did they do?

>no eggplant
>no avocado
>no black olives

this never happened

I actually remember what I thought at the time. (I'm )
The character redesigns were godawful. In trying to make them cuter and "better," it seemed to me they'd erased everything endearing about them, and replaced them with generic fast-food-commercial-grade cliche. And those creepy new eyes were some uncanny-valley dead-looking shit. (I'm one of the lucky ones who gets paid to do Sup Forums stuff, and I have views. VIEWS, goddammit!)
The countertop was now a whole town. But... still on the countertop. The fuck? Are they in a kitchen or in a town? Either would work, so pick one. Both isn't silly, it's stupid.
The characters were wrong. The personalities were way off. They weren't the same "people" at all.
And the writing SUCKED. The writing was what really sold the videos for me back in the day, and why I happily bought them for the little ones and even watched along now and then. It was witty as hell, and the songs were seriously top-notch. There was some real talent and craft there. Even when it started to go downhill after their financial troubles, the writing still hadn't suffered too terribly. But this time around, there wasn't a shred of charm to it. It wasn't even try-hard, just bland.
A franchise that used to be genuinely entertaining and a joy to see, was now literally unwatchable.
I hope it got better, but I never watched it again.

Well, I might have exaggerated just a smidge with the Ep I reference, but the rest is about right.

fucking autism

They eventually built a city and started calling the show "VeggieTales in the City".
It's over now though, so it can't hurt you anymore.

Damn straight

>G-rated Sausage Party
I CAN'T UNTHINK IT

>And the writing SUCKED
They had Mike Nelson and Doug TenNapel working on this. They couldn't write VT?

I mean, they had to update the animation at some point. The first veggietales came out in 1993

why is that piece of cooked zombie pig flesh moving and have grown eyes at one end?

I just hate the colored eyes

>I have to go now, my planet needs me.

He's just a rocket scientist, so he has a rocket as his primary mode of transport.

Original vegetales was the best! I knew Big Idea went on to do Transformers animated or whatever but never saw the VT reboot.

What happened to Big Idea?

STOP
