They just decided to change the ethnicity of Jimmy's best friend and his love interest who are both Asians into African Americans! Like we wouldn't notice the drastic change in skin color? Is it too weird still to see Asians be friends with white kids? I am appalled by this change of characters, we all should boycott this show!

Oh and I'm sure u'd be up at arms if they were black best friend and potential black gf then suddenly turned to asians riiiiiite...

the asian girl was not a very good actress and the real reason they changed was that the original Craig was such an obnoxious character and they couldn't find another asian kid that could act in that age group. had nothing to do with ethnicity. how stupid and racist of you!

I actually liked the asian girl in it. I thought she was pretty and funny. As for the asian boy he wasn't that great. This show sounds kinda dumb but I'll probably check out a few episodes.

Couldn't find another asian kid in that age group who can act? Would you like a list? Nothing about appearing on this show involves acting, it requires overacting and mugging for the camera. You're in no position to call anyone else a racist.

The new Craig rocks as Jimmy's friend, it is simply better casting.

Haha.. but why did they change the chracters anyways ? Well it says that it's "BASED" on Reanimated.. so... yeah.

How about just plain boycotting Cartoon Network? It's nothing but bad shows today anyway.

I agree mharrington. Though as for your signature, I hope you mean the older Disney. Not this new teenybopper crap.

Maybe it just has to do with the fact that the Asians from the movie couldn't be in the show for some reason or another and it was short notice, so...

I love Disney!!

Hmmm, I too found it weird that the race of two main characters suddenly changed. I actually liked the obnoxious kid, he was funny and annoying in a good way. Oh well, I guess they need more African Americans or something on the network.
