Why He Rocks

 * 1) He is a classic british icon, much like Postman Pat, Fireman Sam, Pingu and Thomas the Tank Engine.
 * 2) * What makes him unique is that much like Thomas the Tank Engine, he is not only famous in the United Kingdom, but he is also famous all around the world.
 * 3) He is beautifully animated with fluent stop-motion.
 * 4) He is passionate and determined to get tasks done.
 * 5) He is also an intelligent and fun-loving person.
 * 6) He isn't one to lose focus and often comes up with ideas on how to fix things.
 * 7) He acts as a parental figure to his machines and tries his best to keep them in line.
 * 8) He knows how to be honest without being brutal, and he isn't afraid to let someone know when they've messed up. He doesn't even get upset when someone makes a mistake.
 * 9) He has an amazing relationship with the machines, Wendy and the rest of the civilians in Bobsville.
 * 10) He is one of the few characters who weren't flanderized in the 2015 reboot.
 * 11) He encourages children to always work together and to never give up, making him a great role model for children.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) He can sometimes come off as a Gary Stu.
 * 2) The way he is animated sometimes makes him look like he has an eternal smile, but this is fixed when his show got turned into CGI.
 * 3) His redesign in the 2015 reboot is pretty bad and it fails to capture the same charm as his original design.
