Worst Cartoon Character Redesigns

Basically, you can put any cartoon character who was redesigned, and it was bad.
The Top Ten
1 Larry the Cucumber - VeggieTales

As an 11 year old American boy, I loved the old veggie tales and still do, but these new design are anger inducing! They don't talk about God anymore!

He looked awesome, but in the new series, he looks really weird. Why did they cancel the original for the new series?

Honestly, all of the characters are horrifying now. They used to be cheerful and happy, but are now scary!

2 Bob the Builder - Bob the Builder

Now he looks dumb and scary, as opposed to nice and happy!

What did they do to the guy that made my childhood?

3 Shaggy - Scooby Doo

If you thought what they did to Shaggy in the 2000s was bad. Then just wait until you meet Norville (AKA Black Shaggy) from that atrocity of a Scooby-Doo remake Velma. Now that's godawful!

They all have terrible redesigns, but Shaggy's is the worst!

4 Papa Smurf - The Smurfs
5 Optimus Prime - Transformers Optimus Prime is a fictional character from the Transformers franchise. Optimus Prime is consistently depicted as having strong moral character, excellent leadership, and sound decision-making skills, and possesses brilliant military tactics, powerful martial arts, and advanced alien weaponry.
6 Robin - Teen Titans GO! Robin, is a fictional superhero appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics, commonly in association with the superhero Batman.

You people say Dexter's new design in Dexter's Laboratory looks like garbage? HE LOOKS LIKE A CHARACTER THAT BELONGS IN THE POWERPUFF GIRLS! Especially compared to TTG Robin.

7 Bugs Bunny - The Looney Tunes Show Bugs Bunny is an animated cartoon character, created by the staff of Leon Schlesinger Productions (later Warner Bros.) He is one of (if not) the most famous cartoon characters, and he is in the show Looney Tunes. His famous quote is "What's up doc?". He is a gray colored bunny with big teeth and big ...read more.
8 Knuckles the Echidna - Sonic Boom

I have no problem with redesigns, but Sonic Boom made Knuckles look idiotic when he is actually supposed to be as smart as Sonic. Because of this, Knuckles is constantly mistaken as a "dumb muscle" when he shouldn't be... If Knux was really stupid, then why did he manage to find all the Master Emerald pieces in the Sonic Adventure games without question? Making him dumb does not make sense at all.

Man, I hate what they did to Knuckles in Boom. His personality and his design. They've turned him into a complete moron! He's even dumber than Patrick Star, but he's not funny AT ALL, unlike Patrick.

Knuckles is my favorite sonic character. WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM!? This "knuckles" in sonic boom is not the knuckles that I know and love

How dare they ruin my favorite sonic character? This so-called knuckles is not the knuckles I know and love

9 He-Man - The New Adventures of He-Man

Crap cartoon

10 Mega Man - Captain N Mega Man, known as Rockman in Japan, is the title character and the protagonist of the Mega Man series by Capcom.

He doesn't look like MegaMan in that show.

The Contenders

12 Sonic - Sonic Boom Sonic the Hedgehog, trademarked Sonic The Hedgehog, is the title character and protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog series released by SEGA, as well as numerous spin-off comics, five animated shows, and an animated OVA.

Look on the bright side, they gave knuckles ripped torso, they could have given Sonic buff legs

13 Ben Tennyson - Ben 10: Omniverse

I actually like the Alien Force and Ultimate Alien design, but I dislike his Omniverse design a lot. His 2016 reboot design isn't too good either.

He looks ugly in his new redesign, just like every other character in the show

14 Sonic the Hedgehog - Sonic Boom Sonic the Hedgehog, trademarked Sonic The Hedgehog, is the title character and protagonist of the Sonic the Hedgehog series released by SEGA, as well as numerous spin-off comics, five animated shows, and an animated OVA.
