Have you ever wondered how The Grinch

looked like when he first debuted in 1957?

ŵWell, don't be shocked by the below picture.

I had no idea that The Grinch looked

like that when it was first animated.

Almost 10 years later, he made an

appearance on NBC as a TV special.

With his scrunched face and hidden

softness, he has become a holiday

staple for many people all over the

country.

Well, let's see how he looks like now.

Aside from the live-action film created

in 2000s, The Grinch hasn't been replicated

many times. This past year, in 2018, Universal

decide to remake the well-known animation.

Same story, same Grinch, but different

appearance. He's still an avocado colour

but he's a lot.. smoother.

Next one would be Strawberry Shortcake.

In 1980, the little girl with red ringlets

was featured in her first animated TV

series The World of Strawberry Shortcake

Well, let's see how she looks like now.

Strawberry Shortcake appears to be slightly older in Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Bitty Adventures, but then again, she could still be that 6-year old girl. Her hair isn't as curly, she wears pink mary-janes, and she owns her own business, but those green-striped tights are still going strong.

Then

The 1987 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

miniseries made its official run in 1988.

Since then the turtles have become

recognized world-wide. Initially, the

four brothers all resembled each other

with the exception of their hand-bands

and their use of weapons.

Now, they're still recognizable by their

head-bands, but also have a few other

distinctions now. In 2018, Rise of the

Teenage Mutant Turtles brings the

ninja brothers back to the modern

age. Each brother is animated in a

way that highlights a personality

traits of theirs, like leadership or

wit.

Then

Garfield was introduced by Jim Davis

in the comic strip originally titled Jon

in 1976. The chubby, orange cat wasn't

meant to become the star of the comic,

but he soon became sure that.

Now

Garfield made his animated debut in

1980 in the TV series The Fantastic

Funniest and later landed his own

series starring, well, him. Despite

being far more life-like now, thanks

to the invention of CG-animation,

he's still the same chubby,orange cat.

He's been in movies like Garfield: The

Movie & Garfield's Pet Force.

Then

First appearing in the 1980s, creator

Shivers Miyamoto wasn't planning on

the Jumping Man to turn into anything

memorable. He was designed as a go-to

for Miyamoto to place in any game he

wanted. The little pixelated guy was

later named Mario and became quite

the video game character.

Now

Mario's animation developed as his

character developed. Be became a

plumber and although he made

appearances in other video games,

he has video games of his own too.

He has coined details like the red

'M' hat and the blue plumber overalls.
