Nathan Johnson Published 05/31/2014 in Pop Culture

A comparison of some popular cartoon characters and their initial designs.

1.
South Park in 1992 vs now.
2.
Garfield in 1978 vs now. What has Jon been complaining about all these years? Garfield lost the pounds and kept them off too!
3.
Shrek in 1990 vs now.
4.
Pinocchio in 1940 vs now.
5.
Bugs Bunny in 1940 vs now.
6.
Archie in 1941 vs now.
7.
The Iron Giant in 1968 vs now. Trivia time! This was based on an old childrens book and the author was Sylvia Plaths husband!
8.
Yogi Bear in 1958 vs now.
9.
Snoopy in 1950 vs now. After all these years, even a puppy can learn to walk on two feet.
10.
Cinderella in 1865 vs now. 1865 may have been when Cinderella was first illustrated, but this story goes back all the way to 1697!
11.
Arthur in 1976 vs now. I'm glad they made the change. The old Arthur looks creepy.
12.
The Fantastic Mr. Fox in 1974 vs now.
13.
The Simpsons in 1987 vs...
14.
...The Simpsons now. Wow, what a difference.
15.
Charlie Brown in 1950 vs now. Who knew a taller head and a zigzag shirt would've made such a difference!
16.
My Little Pony in 1984 vs now.
17.
Alvin and The Chipmunks in 1958 vs now. Are chipmunks really capable of turning gangsta?
18.
Papa Smurf in 1958 vs now.
19.
Scooby-Doo in 1969 vs now. I'm usually all for the latest and greatest, but I think I actually prefer the classic Scooby-Doo.
20.
Mickey Mouse in 1928 vs now.
21.
Peter Pan in 1902 vs now.
