This review kind of feels all over the place. That said. A correction: Season 6 came out after Magic Railroad. While I like that movie because of nostalgia, it is what caused Britt to sell her company. Season 6 and onward CGI and AEG included writing should not be counted among the writing of seasons 1-5. Between the Hit and Mattel eras plus being memed into oblivion. Thomas will never recover in the eyes of those outside the Fandom. It will forever be just that stupid baby show for the lowest common denomination audiences.
Fun Fact: When George Carlin was first brought in as narrator, he expressed nervousness at the fact he had no audience to deliver the story to in the booth. As bringing an actual child in was not an option, Britt had a teddy bear delivered to the studio, which became Carlin's audience for all of the voiceover sessions. At the end of George's run, he gifted Britt with her own teddy bear named Teddy Carlin, which sits on her piano to this day.
George Carlin actually wanted to do Thomas because he knew that it was easy to get famous being crude and obscene so he wanted to see if he could get the same level of success doing a children's show. He also was drawn to it because of how the show never talked down to the audience and he respected that.
Thomas was the best kid show ever made back in its day, because it was made by a team who cared. Fast forward to today, its one of many kid shows, made by a team who couldn't care less. No one could have imagined the show would end up like this.
Thomas was a childhood show, no, a household name. As much as I've forgotten, the show's style has lived on, I don't think I could ever forget it. It's well know because it's good, I'd say.
Honestly I thought this video would be something like "GRAAA THE ENGINES DIE SHOW SCARY BOO!!!!" but I am insanely thankful to be proven wrong!
I think the reason why Thomas & Friends worked was because it was different. The show didn’t limit itself to being “just a kids show” In its golden years, and made stories that appealed to anyone at any age. If you liked slice of life slower paced stories there were Thomas episodes for that, if you liked action packed thrill rides with big suspense and danger, there were Thomas episodes for that too. No matter if you like horror, action, slice of life, comedy, or sad type stories there were always Thomas episodes for those genres and the Thomas & Friends was never just one type of show for one type of audience and it’s characters, visuals, music, world building, storylines and so many other things together made this show a masterpiece and it’s a shame that overtime, people who didn’t understand the show started coming in and ruining what made it special and what once was for anyone of any age became a show for preschoolers and only preschoolers just like most other kids shows out there. Eventually they would try to make a big comeback around 2015, but the people who own Thomas now (Mattel) thinks that the only way this show will work is if they try to make it like other kids shows with no heart and no soul. Once Mattel took over the franchise they made it hard to find the new episodes and now Thomas is a thing of the past and a lot less kids watch the show now and everyday people won’t even know about the wonderful things Thomas & Friends did in it’s first 7 seasons and because very little people talk about it, it’s not as popular as other kids shows and doesn’t get as much respect as a show like Bluey. Even worse, people who read those news articles of Henry getting locked up in a tunnel forever and Diesels VS steamies conflict considered as “racist” (which only was a problem in the show’s darker years) is now making people who know nothing about the show think things like Sodor being a scary place where Sir Topham Hatt is evil and the engines are treated as “slaves” and if they aren’t really useful they’re scrapped, which obviously isn’t true in the slightest but because of the show’s lack of attention people believe it and it’s really sad this amazing show is being misunderstood by the everyday people, and the people who run show now. But then there are great videos like this that shines a light on what Thomas truly is and highlights just how perfect it was in the 80’s and 90’s and fans who do understand what Thomas is, and I think one day Thomas will get the love it deserves! Thanks for making this video and for reading this long comment!!
Good review, I'll say a few things, s6 came after Magic Railroad, Diesel 10 number is a reference to him being the tenth diesel introduced in the show, the BBC broadcast wasn't the first time a TV adaptation for the books was attempted, as before Britt came along a 2D animated attempt was made, by Andrew Louid Webber, in the style of 'Ivor the Engine', a welsh 2D animated show, but obviously said show never came to fruition. Nice to see a non fan give a positive review on the show. So many times non fans will just focus on the negatives of the show and say is horrible, when it's really not. As a fan I do like the darker stories, like 'Escape', which is why Oliver (engine) is my favorite character. I mean the way the universe works is that it's supposed to be our universe, but the only difference is that there's an island between England and the Isl of Mann, that being Sodor. Also in defense of the reboot it's not the worst, as some of the characters like Bruno and Kana are good and some of the music is decent to listen to, but I do agree it pails in comparison to what came before it. Also that movie seems to be still happening, most likely more info will come out regarding it when the 'Barbie' movie is released, as Thomas and 'Barbie' are both currently owned by Mattel.
Finally finally a video of Thomas and Friends outside the fandom but isn't just oh scary trains oh Henry died in a tunnel good video good video
Don't forget that David Mitton previously worked on Thunderbirds so shooting with models was kinda what he knew best.
I'm glad you did a real analysis on the show, as a Thomas fan those videos that say "THE TRAIN CAN DIE!!11" Triggers me, great video!
I feel like Thomas's music may have unintentionally influenced Video game composers over the years.
Thomas and friends aka my childhood . I am still hooked to this thing
Now this is a proper Thomas review, I love it. And the fact that background music and actual information about the show is even here is amazing. As a Thomas fan, your review is awesome.
I grew up watching thomas since childhood and been a fan in my heart
I remember being traumatised by the Break Van dying in a season 2 episode, that image of Donald (or Douglas, can't remember which one) breaking him has stuck with me for ages. 10/10 show!
Ok, one thing about the narrow gauge models... functional models of that size and smaller did exist on the consumer market, the problem was specifically fitting the eye mechanics in. For shots that had both the standard gauge and narrow gauge models in them, they actually used smaller 1 scale (
Nice review! As a Thomas fan. I'm proud your not one of those worthless buzzfeed "Writers" who say how it's
The thing I like about thomas that makes it much more watchable than other kids shows is how it doesn't talk down to its audience. It doesn't feel like entertainment for education's sake, it feels like it's just there to spark my imagination and make me smile.
Honestly, Henry’s arc is why he is my favourite character of all time from the show.
