    Sportacus is so sporty, loves eating great foods and looks great. Then there's Robbie R who hates good food and hates excercise...yet he still looks great too.

    Does anyone think kids will get mixed messages here?!

    Thats interesting. Kids are pretty visual and I think a "fatter" RobbieRotton might be a better sell.

    On a purely selfish level -- I'd say no, leave him as he is because he's just such a great character the way he is now. On a practical level, however, the thread starter's idea makes sense. I mean, after all, Mayor Meanswell is way fatter than Robbie is -- when Robbie decides to impersonate the Mayor, he has to dress up in a ridiculous fatsuit.

    But perhaps that's part of the message. He's the wolf in sheep's clothing -- on the surface he's a charmer and seems like maybe he could really be a good guy, so when he starts singing stuff like "being ready isn't good / in fact -- it's just creepy!" there's something in you that wants to believe him. And so you have to dig a little deeper and use your brains to figure out the truth that maybe what this guy's offering isn't so great after all.

    Logically speaking Robbie should be fat cause he eats nothing but junk and lays about all the time, but in a strange bacwards way, he's almost as active as Sportacus. Running arround trying to get said hero vanished from LazyTown or trying to get the kids to sit arround and do nothing must burn off the extra calories! On the other hand though, Robbie dose pay for his bad eating habits in the long run, on acount that he will not eat anything healthy! If people had eating habits like Robbie we'd be as weak as he is!

    Yeah, I've always thought that too -- that he claims he doesn't like to move about, yet he's always running about chasing after Sportacus. Reminds me of this bit from "Dancing Duel" --

    Robbie: Robbie doesn't move! Robbie doesn't move!
    Robbie-Robot: Robbie Rotten is moving now.
