My Candyland Rant

[Cinj216]

It just reeks of politically correct bullshit, and yet somehow manages to be offensive at the same time. I mean, look at the transformation of Queen Frostine into a Princess. If that isn't some subtle form of sexism, I don't know what is. And oh noes, can't risk promoting obesity or something, let's take out the fat character, nobody likes fat people anyway. Oh, and in the 2010 edition, Gramma Nutt was renamed to Gramma Gooey...gotta be sensitive to the kids with nut allergies, I suppose.

'he looks gay' i thought it was funny how yu said that though, it sucsk that thye took out plumpy

[fajhitas2]

NO WAY!!! I LOVE CANDY LAND!!!! IM SO OBSESSED WITH IT PPL CALL ME CANDY LAND!!!

[pannoni1]

Lord Licorice demoted Lolly and Frostine! HA HA HA HA HA HA!

[drunkenringsk]

hahaah, you seemed really pissed w/ these new changes. I agree. They shouldn't have updated the look of the game at all. I still wish I had an old-style board.

[toaker]

Candy Land is Hell in diguse

[lolaloliepop]

I had the 1984 version :)

[PinkLeopard80s]

The 80s version has more style and imagination to it although I liked Gloppy being Chocolate instead of Molasses. I never really liked Molasses lol. I miss that game!!!

[ThePuppetgirl12]

this is my fav game

[myvideozrox]

i am mr.mint in a human board game 4 charity...... I hav 2 be from the 2005 version :( HE LOOKS LIKE SANTA! LMAO!

[myHPonFire]

I think you should design your own candy land board.

Just a thought.

[live4anime10]

hey metallica, that is not very nice. I liked the discussion of candyland.

[metallica5255]

what is this kid a fucking retard or something

[Skeletonband926]

Yeah. But sadly I don't own a 60s version of Candyland. Even if I did I don't think it would be right to compare the other two versions to the 60s one for some reason....

[Nissisaures]

Ohh, I miss playing Candyland as a kid.. Nothing beats the original.

[Roswell51X]

What bothers me are the character redesigns, mostly mr mint, I thought he looked cuter before, now he looks like and extra from a don bluth movie.

[catmyname1]

I have the '84 version. I have never seen the 2005 version. It is CRAP.

They took away Plumpy O.o

[lilblkboi]

candyland sooo live back in the day

i loved the computer game version of it too, the ones that came out of kellogg cereal boxes

that was a pimp version of candyland lol

the ice cream beach place was proppper

[CleaveTheDragon]

It seems Candy Land is no longer sweet with nostalgia, but bitter... with betrayal.

[cjcapta]

Notice they have a black kid now in the new version.

[Skeletonband926]

And I think they have an Asian kid in it too...

I think they're trying to be multicultural for kids...like kids will really care about something like that...

In the '84 one they had only two kids...

[POPPYxHEKE]

I love this.. I used to have the '84 version... my parents got rid of it when they thought I would never play it again (too old for Candyland, bah!)... well I have a project now to build a candyland-themed headquarters for hasbro/milton bradley.. My mom bought the new 2005 version and I almost cried.. I think I'll show her this video XD thanks for making it

[hhhuey]

doesnt she look demonic lol

[ElectricRat]

I can't believe they took Plumpy out. Also Qu--erm, PRINCESS Frostine looks like a Barbie doll. Lawsuit from Mattel, anyone?

[Skeletonband926]

Yeah. Plumpy is the shiz. Its like taking away King Kandy...you just can't do that...

Yeah. According to the movie (yes I have watched the movie) Princess Frostine and Lolly are sisters...

[Hayashigame]

Too many anyways.

[browngurl185]

i hve the dora version

[fatlikeraisins]

well, i liked it. =)

[Thorisgodpoo]

who the hell rants about candyland

[trollitrade]

"This one's being led to his DOOM..." Hahaha, I laughed out loud at that part! xD I really enjoyed the comparrison between the versions of the game - I was disappointed to see those changes on the box, but there's no WAY I'd buy the new one to see what the difference were. It was really cool to see, though! Thanks for the rant!

[Skeletonband926]

I'm completely random...I didn't even think about how I was going to talk about this. I just go and rant.

The new board game SUCKS.

They should really release a special edition of the 84 version one of these days.

[trollitrade]

This is pretty ironic, but I actually DID buy the sucky new version of Candyland the day after I made that comment. xD But my friends and I turned it into a Drinking Game, and it was hilarious. ^_^;; But yes, even seeing it in person, we were rather outraged by the changes. I referenced your rant a few times while we were all complaining about it. xD Ah, well. Manufacturers don't care about our wounded nostalgia. xD

[littleseamstress]

you have a lot of time on your hands

[xxohxlawlietxx]

84 PWNS!!!!!!

[kiwiXtastic]

The 84 version is soooo much cooler. The 05 version looks kind of Disney-fied.
