Don't get us wrong -- like Cher in Clueless, one of our main thrills in life is a makeover. However, when a makeover makes something we grew up loving into something totally unrecognizable, we have a problem, and that's exactly what's happening to Strawberry Shortcake (and a whole slew of other iconic 80's cartoon characters). Seriously -- check out her new look after the jump:

See what we mean?

American Greetings, which owns Strawberry Shortcake, decided to update her image to appeal to modern kids -- we don't have a problem with that (although, the high-waisted shorts she's got going on are not the way to appeal to fashionable kids today, American Greetings. Just so you know.). However, we do take issue with the fact that they changed her entire look. She has real hair, not yarn, and she's pretty instead of quirky and cute. When we played with our Strawberry Shortcake dolls as kids, we were taken away to a land of make believe -- now she looks like she belongs at the mall with her friends, the Bratz dolls.

Strawberry Shortcake will be getting a new toy line, computer-animated movie and TV series starting next year. She'll spend less time playing with her cat, Custard, and more time on a cell phone. And, you might be surprised as to who's hanging out in Strawberryland -- any characters who aren't "fruit-forward" (meaning their names make you think more of dessert than fruit) are going to be downplayed. Check out the gallery to see some of the makeovers Strawberry Shortcakes friends have received.

Other cartoons getting a facelift are the Care Bears (less chubby tummy, longer eyelashes), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and even Scooby-Doo.
