BOB The Builder fans were left gobsmacked by the cartoon character’s new look – and have claimed their ‘childhoods are ruined.’

A second said: “Bob’s got a new look, and not everyone is happy about it.”
A third wrote: “Look how they massacred my boy.”
They shared a before and after shot of him.
It was followed by several retweets and replies from furious former viewers, many joking that their childhoods had been ruined.
Another person wrote: “Things like this keep me awake at night.”
Another said bluntly: “Can they fix it? No, they broke it instead.”
Bob the Builder was actually revamped in October 2014 by Mattel for a new series to be aired the next year.
He is taller, more slender and looks younger than the original one from the 90s.

His outfit has changed too as he’s ditched his old denim dungarees too.
The new Bob the Builder still wears a yellow and orange checked shirt and yellow helmet, but pairs this with jeans and a high-vis jacket.
