What has happened to Bob the Builder?

[Tikkabillajive]

He's on at the moment but it seems to be computer animated, not the good old fashioned stop motion models - it looks awful!

I hadn't noticed but really only glance at it. DS still seems to enjoy it.
I see you are another Tikkabilla fan

Yes we all love Tikkabilla in this house - wish they'd make some more!

Not particularly Bob the Builder fans but hate the thought of everything becoming computer animated and not stop motion - they've done it with Thomas the Tank Engine too!

Yes, Fireman Sam has already been ruined CGIed. DS doesn't seem to notice.
I assume that Postman Pat will be next. I've nothing against CGI (Toy Story is one of my favourite films), but it really has been done on the cheap and looks very bland and featureless. Grr.

Oh no - not Fireman Sam as well! I agree, Toy Story is brilliant but when it is done cheaply like this it loses so much of the charm of the original programmes. I would definitely start some sort of campaign against it if they got to Pat as well!

Why did Bob go to the States recently and how did he manage to take all his talking machinary over too? Would they be treated as Cargo or would they require passports?
