Paramount+ debuted The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder, a live-action reboot of The Fairly Oddparents, yesterday, and in the grand tradition of beloved cartoon series getting live-action reboots, many people don't seem to like it.

The series appears to be half-live-action and half-animated. Yesterday, Twitter user @gonesnail posted a clip from the animated half of the series, and it has unnerved Twitter.


For starters, the laugh track, which is standard for the live-action sitcom half of the series, feels woefully out of place in the brief animated interlude. What really stuck out in peoples' minds was what the show did to Crocker, one of the original series' antagonists who always suspected that protagonist Timmy Turner had fairy godparents. In the original run of the show, Crocker was drawn mostly at an angle to emphasize his madness and sharp features. In the above clip, the show draws what he looks like directly from the front, showing an uncanny, mushed-nose oddity.


"Front-facing Crocker" trended on Twitter, as many fans of the original series bemoaned how he was handled in the reboot.


For what it's worth, Crocker's voice actor Carlos Alazraqui appeared to take Crocker trending in stride, noting that front-facing Crocker was supposed to be a reference to Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho..
