I’m talking about the recent makeovers done to our favourite cartoon characters Strawberry Shortcake……
and the very popular Dora The Explorer.
This is what Strawberry Shortcake looks like after the makeover.
And this is our beloved Dora The Explorer after the revamp.
First of all, I think the two characters are super duper cute even before somebody/someone decided to mess with their looks.
The new looks are not bad at all actually.
My point is, is it really necessary?
My nieces adore Dora. They have a collection of everything Dora, from backpacks to dolls, stuff toys and musical instruments, books and videos.
Ngayon, naguguluhan na sila.
I think hindi sila maka-relate sa revamped look.
Nawala na ang backpack. Nawala na ang sneakers. Hindi na siya kasing-cute ng dati.
Although pretty ang new Dora, feeling ko maarte na ang bruhang ito. May suot nang leggings, malamang Mikimoto pa ang pearl earrings niya. LOL
At tingnan niyo ang bagong Strawberry Shortcake, mukhang anorexic. My gosh! Tinalo pa sa kapayatan si Siri Tollerod.
According to the makers of Strawberry Shortcake and Dora the Explorer, they decided to change the looks so that they may also grow like their fans. The girls have matured na daw like their followers.
I say, baloney!
Juice ko, kung tumanda na ako hindi na ako maglalaro ng Dora noh! Ipapamana ko na sila sa aking mga apo. Charing!
These characters are supposed to be timeless.
Like the Disney characters.
Like the Muppets.
Like Tom and Jerry.
They are supposed to remind us that all of us has a child within us. They complete our childhood. They are memories to be treasured.
I always remember my childhood days watching Sesame Street, Ducktales, Batibot and many more.
Kung iibahin ang itsura nila, I won’t remember those precious memories. Makakalimutan ko na rin siguro ang aking years of innocence.
Sigh.
In this time and age, looking thin is not that important anymore.
Tumaba na nga si Kate Moss, Ali Stephens, Lily Donaldson and Gemma Ward.
Na-ifeature na rin si Jennifer Hudson sa cover ng US Vogue.
Nanalo na rin si Whitney Thompson bilang kauna-unahang plus-sized winner sa America’s Next Top Model.
May 14-page spread na si Toccara Jones sa Black issue ng Italian Vogue.
And most recently, I gained a little weight pero I’m dating more now.
Hindi na uso ang payatot!
P.S.
....but I would love to be thin though. Hahaha!
Peace sa mga tulad kong "healthy".

i'd do strawberry shortcake anytime..hahaha
Agree with you. Mas may attachment ako dun sa mga naunang mascots. :)
maganda yung mga bagong manay ichu, pero true, malilito ang mga kiddie. eh sa mga ganung edad na bata naman kebs nila kung hindi uptodate ang itsura ng mga lab nilang cartoons.
altho si barbie nag-evolve na rin thru the years pero paunti-unti kasi ang evolution nung kay barbie kaya medyo ok lang, hindi masyadong halata.
Agree. They killed the characters over kaartehan, which is sooo mababaw! My nieces are not happy too..
i thought all the while kaya naka-relate sa kanila little girls kasi healthy-looking sila?
what's next? magda- diet na mga little gurls? wtf?
You will not always be the teddy bear of ur friends... Kung payat ka na... Di ka nga maging cute sa kanila... pero cute ka naman sa ibang guys.... o di ba? Go! Magpili ka. Friends over Dyug? Chos!
