Barney the Dinosaur is back -- but not in the way fans remember -- and now millennials are feeling all kinds of ways about the trimmed-down replica of their childhood icon.

A recent TikTok trend has sparked laughter among millennials reacting to what many are dubbing "Ozempic Barney," a slimmer, revamped version of the beloved purple dinosaur.

Meanwhile, another clip captured the millennial sentiment in a video titled "OMMMGG BARNEY is Back! Thoughts? It's just not the same," with the user saying, "This cannot be true. Barney is skinny."

The videos feature a stuffed-animal Barney sold at Walmart. While some users embrace the change, others yearn for the chubby, cuddly original Barney.
