The shittification of BEAR snacks cards / design

Okay, there’s deffo bigger things in the world but has anyone else noticed BEAR snacks have redesigned their inner cards using AI (used to be beautifully used illustrators drawing real animals and mythical creatures) and even the bear has been redesigned and has a weird AI placement lead over his bits? It’s bonkers, looks shit.

attached what I mean, before animals and animal facts vs a fucking AI generated waterskiing bear covering his bits with a leaf. Very weird.

When will companies stop making everything utterly shit and joyless?

Sorry rubbish resolution photos but I’m sure most parents know the cards I mean!

Yes! I also noticed. My daughter used to keep the cards especially the mythical creatures, but now she doesn't like them and opening one feels like less of a treat. Obviously it's not a major problem in our lives but it is a bit crap.
Would recommend Aldi's version since the cards no longer make the bear ones more appealing.

Thank you we’ll try them! Yes so disappointing, it already pissed me off when they started putting QR codes on them as we are 100% screen free. But this is the final straw it looks so shit and also just really weirdly perverse with the leaf on his knob?!

Surely their brand is wholesome, ‘rustic’ and ‘healthy’?

That waterskiing bear looks like a still from a knock off Pixar film now.

Yep it’s a really odd choice. I googled and actually one of the illustrators was apparently talking on instagram post saying they all just got let go and replaced with these AI drawings a few months ago. Such a bloody shame.

Thats a damn shame. My sons used to collect these years ago. Always loved opening up a pack and finding the different cards
