I always loved the actual trains and the imagination they created. Once it went to all CG it became both unrealistic and too literal at the same time. The CG took the magic and imagination away. There was one I saw that still had the real trains but with CG faces and that wasn't too bad. Also, nobody beat Ringo as a narrator. Thanks for the informative history, I always wondered what happened.

Michael Brandon who narrated the last live-action episodes of Thomas and Friends was a great describer. Since Alec Baldwin did a handsome English and Australian accent for Oliver the Great Western Engine and Stepney the Bluebell Engine, the late George Carlin and Michael Brandon did a wonderful Dutch and Scottish accent for Duncan the Golden Beige Narrow-Gauge Engine and Donald and Douglas the Scottish Twin Engines.

(and not an island that’s covered in mist) just as good as any story ideas you guys can come up with some story ideas that children around the world and Mattel creations will enjoy marvelous adventures of what Thomas the tank engine would become the next 70 years to come.

7:08 Finally that familiar song that summed up why I have a love of trains from my childhood.

Man, it's so weird to see how the Thomas sections in the Shining Time Station really stuck with me. George Carlin told a great story without "baby talking" the plot. The modeling and special effects inspired me to start the modeling hobby as a kid, but never had the luxury of doing it or knowing how. I return again to it in the form of Warhammer, terrain building, and 3D printing... and it feels almost like it did when I watching the show as kid. But I wondered why I remember Thomas being something I held dear, but never knew the origin or what became of it when Shining Time Station was taken off PBS. Thank you for making this video!

The old series was the best. I don't like the CGI but I like the fact that they have made it more appealing for today's children. I do think they are running out of ideas.

i have tons of dvd of episodes of thomas put together to be the length of a movie, more or less, and, with some of them, there were activties in the episodes, like connect the dots to make an engine, help the engine find where their supposed to go, and, with other ones, there were activites with the main menu, that you could pick to do, or there were pick an episode selection thing, and, i think as well as with some of my thomas movies, there'd be these info option things that you could select, there'd be info option things that you could select that would tell you info about characters like toby, thomas, percy, gordon, henry, mavis, spencer, bulstrode, etc. and it was just so fun, the classic thomas was the true thomas, and it was just beautiful ❤❣😍❤❣❤

It was still movement though to express emotion, like what the CGI series is doing now because kids actually like it and even if they were years apart it is still movement.

“Tank Engine Thomas Again” We’re really working overtime on these titles.

13:26 I love how those two workers on the right don't even care.

Very nicely done. I grew up loving the classic Thomas The Tank Engine show, and it still holds a special place in my heart. Even The Magic Railroad is special to me because I loved it so much as a kid, even if it does have problems. This documentary was cool because it had some information that I didn't even know about, and now I'm interested in learning more. I haven't really watched the show that much the last few years because of the things you discussed, but if the show has been improving somewhat, maybe I'll have to take another look at it.

“Diesel 10 was too scary for kids” No s__t. I used to refuse to watch Calling All Engines! because the scene where Thomas asks Diesel 10 for help near Gordon’s Hill scared me.

Gotta admit, Donald & Douglas’ theme is a tune I hum to myself when I’m pushing busses around when they breakdown or when they need a push around the yard when they can’t start (something I like to refer to as ‘shunting’)

When I was 4 years old in London in the 1960s, I had almost all of the small hand size Thomas The Tank Engine books with the great artwork by Reginald Payn. Although I could not yet read, I would spend hours and hours looking at the beautiful pictures. God Bless the Reverand W. Awdry for creating this iconic method of moral storytelling! The model Train version was of course after my time, but i would have loved it! The CGI Sucks!

Same, I grew up watching it ages ago on VHS tapes and reruns on TV

The crashing sequence in most of the show's episodes just like the books really did carry on for lesson learning on the characters so they would learn better at a future momentum but we don't like it when the trains crash; it's too dangerous. That's also why I want the show redone without the characters crashing, having an accident or featuring drivers and firemen.

For me personally the classic era (seasons 1-7) will always be the best in my book and while I still enjoy Thomas and the RWS books for nostalgic reasons, I'm not involved with the fandom community because the majority of them are either immature or just down right anti-social. The problem is they take it far too seriously there's a lot more to steam and railways than just a children show such as the documentaries by legendary steeplejack and steam enthusiast Fred Dibnah, never keep your eggs in one basket as the old saying goes.

Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends will always be a part of my childhood Forever and honestly once in a blue-moon I watch an episode to bring back all of the memories of the smiles and laughs that I had and still have today. R.I.P Rev. W. Awdry & George Carlin.

I remember watching this back around late 2019 and not to long after I remember getting back into Thomas thanks to this. All I wanted to say was thank you man :) happy 2023.

Something unfortunate is the switch to computerized methods in modernized animation. All of the heart has drained from it now.

I used to love this series when I was a little kid , But I always wondered the backstory behind it. This feels like closure to me

In my opinion, everything past 2005 kimda sucked. I liked the old Thomas with the models. HIT entertainment has ruined a lodt of shows I like to watched. Bob the builder no longer has his football, but instead has a more realistic shaped head. What the hell HIT
