Why do things have to change? With the news that Strawberry Shortcake went and got a makeover, we were upset. How could you take a girl who looked like a ragamuffin and turn her into a tween queen? Seriously, Strawberry looks like the most popular Mean Girl in her class. And now there’s word that the Care Bears are supposedly getting a new look too, and they’ll soon be less plump with longer eyelashes (because even bears look better when they’re thin and have eyelash extensions). Mickey Mouse is next. Disney better not reduce his ear size. Flaws are what make the man…er, mouse. [NY Times]

This makes me so mad I just don’t know where to begin. First they mess with the Wakefield twins’ size six figures, and not they’re touchin’ up Strawberry! They’d better lay off Punky Brewster, I swear…

Myabe this will make my old childhood artifacts sale for even more on eBay…
Seriously though—the original just screams ‘70s and childhood and warm and fuzzy to me… And this new one is just so… modern. She’d be fine if stood alone, but as a reconfigured beloved Strawberry Shortcake, it’s a little sad.

I love the original version. They better not mess with Rainbow Brite or there will be hell to pay!
