He has recently made the change from a stop motion character, to a 3D computer generated character, and with that has gained a lot more realism, lost a lot of weight and gained a completely different character design. The animators changed the style and animation technique to computer generated animation probably because a lot of tv companies and animators believe that stop motion animation is on the way out, if not already gone, and computer generated animation is going to be huge. CG animation is also a lot quicker to produce on a short time scale.
Personally I prefer the stop motion design for the character, I feel like it is more authentic and simple and friendly, whereas the more realistic modern version of Bob is a bit too realistic, it's slightly unnerving. I also feel like the CG Bob looks like he's aimed at a slightly younger audience and doesnt appeal to as wide an audience.
