Fun Fact: Before Thomas and the Magic Railroad, Alec Baldwin was often approached by parents who recognized him as the narrator, while their children, who only knew his voice, would merely be confused.

When I was a child, I expected George to be a one-off character after seeing Steam Roller and was shocked when he reappeared in Lady Hatt's Birthday Party, and then he later returned in Bye, George. Same thing with Cranky, as I expected him to be another one-off but was pleasantly surprised when he returned for multiple reappearances.

The amount of effort it took to makes this season as dramatic and action packed as it is cannot be overstated. While season 4 is my favorite, season 5 still has some of my favorite episodes. "Cranky Bugs", "Duncan Gets Spooked", and of course "Rusty and the Boulder" are all here. And I'm still amazed that they got Alec Baldwin to narrate the U.S. dubs. His voice just fits this season so perfectly.

@selinapersaud7629

Жыл бұрын

My thoughts exactly. Season four will always be my favorite and the best for me, but this season was truly amazing.

I remember after rewatching Rusty and the Boulder as a kid, I started wondering just how many takes it took to get all of those perfect shots for the episode. I was overjoyed when I saw the season 5 blooper reel included many from that episode. This season alone was so memorable.

I think Percy became the crew's favorite to make stories for. Thomas had to be in a decent amount of them since it's his name in the title and he's the most popular, but seeing how much love Percy got really makes me believe it. I loved the character interactions and savage lines in this season so, so much, they crack me up. And Alec Baldwin's narration delivery makes them even more hilarious.

Its crazy how if you had asked me wether I was a thomas fan, I would say "sure, why not, its a good show" and yet so many of the clips you grabbed just activated a core memory for me and I can vividly recall the episode.

I said it on the original upload, and I'll say it again: Man, I love the concept art for this season; looks like a proper comic book! The artist didn't have to go this hard on them, but there's perspective, fantastic implied movement and impact, the works.

My favorite Thomas season, my favorite Thomas retrospective episode!🙂 There are so many things that makes this season so brilliant: the large production scale, the episodes, the lighting, the music, the characters, etc. While Season 4 has the best sets, Season 5 has the best lighting. But both of them and the other seasons never forgotten one thing: world-building, and that's an important key part to learning more about Sodor and its history. I will admit, I like many other fans was creeped out by some episodes in childhood (most notably from the VHS tapes Spills & Chills and Races Rescues & Runaways), but watching them again up to now growing up, I actually found them both action-packed and awesome! As for David Maidment, I'd like to point out that he is truly my favorite railway consultant for Thomas. Yeah, no offense to Sam Wilkinson for there are a few things I appreciate him during the first half of the Brenner era, but David actually handles the task very well not only to ensure there are no howlers, but with stories he had written based on real railway incidents which actually have strong Railway Series vibes to them (mostly A Better View for Gordon, James & the Trouble with Trees, Baa!, Double Teething Troubles and Duncan Gets Spooked) with that unique-Awdry charm that I'm surprised the original creator never thought of himself. While being a first full non-Awdry season, this does feel as if these stories would've taken place in the early 1970s and fit within the book series. It's a shame HiT didn't let him stay on the show because it would've been more cool to hear what stories he have in mind. As for narration, I never cared for Michael Angelis' take on the season (minus the "YIOKES!" quote). He sounded mostly unenthusiastic. Whereas for Alec Baldwin, I always love his narrations, bringing his dramatic but cheerful tone that brings the episodes to life (and from most of the VHS tapes I had in childhood, those are the ones I grew up with). Both he and George Carlin are tied as my favorite US narrators while Ringo Starr is my favorite UK narrator. And finally for new characters, I do like some of them like Derek, Cranky, Dowager Hatt, Old Slow Coach, 'Arry & Bert (before they got toned down later on sadly), The Horrid Lorries and Old Bailey. And for the oldie characters, it's great to see some have more development like Percy, Oliver, George, James, Thomas (with his maturity yet cheeky persona) and Toad. Overall, this does feel like a finale to Classic Thomas and holds a special place in my heart.

Amazing video! Season 5 is a wonderful season. Rusty and The Boulder is epic. Seeing that boulder chasing those narrow gauge engines and then destroyed a shed was dark and very action packed. Toby and The Flood is excellent. All of the episodes are classics in Season 5. I am so glad that these Thomas retrospective videos have been reposted.

While the current reboot of Thomas was born out of playing safe with the marketing options for the franchise, Season 5 was born out of venturing boldly into new territory for the franchise, yet while 'All Engines Go' deviates from established canon, Season 5, despite not being based on stories Wilbert Awdry had written, conveyed respect for the intentions of the original author. Regards, Samuel Farris.

You ever wonder if someone years from now, who just discovered this channel, has ever single date in every video wrong? “How nice of him for advertising something that’s… been out for months”

Oh yes, this season was easily where quality for Thomas was at its best. I think when creating an epic fan-series of Thomas, than you gotta take inspiration from S5.

If Carlin is my favorite narrator, Baldwin is a super close second. His energy and characterizations were all so much fun. Sure, stuff like his take on James absolutely would not fly today, but we can't deny it's become pretty iconic and you can see where he may have gotten it from based on his personality and vanity. His snot-nosed shrill of Bill and Ben, the prim and proper take on Oliver with Toad sounding like his butler being such an interesting contrast to Carlin's more New York-accented take on the engine with Toad having an Igor-ish tone. Would have loved to hear his Duke if the character wasn't dropped after S4.

Season 4 is still my favorite, but season 5 is inches behind it. "Rusty and The Boulder" and "Haunted Henry" (such a criminally underrated episode) remain all time favorites. Season 5 was a force to be reckoned with. Sadly, season 6 just couldn't keep the momentum. The stories/sets felt bland, Baldwin's voice acting was substantially lazier...sans for a few bright spots I never returned to it as much. Looking forward to that Retrospective in the future. So glad to see all of these coming back, Tug!

What are your first and second favourite seasons

The season that's as old as me! Can't wait for the S6+7 retrospective I probably like those more than the average Thomas fan!

Can’t wait for Season 6 retrospective

THE THOMAS RETROSPECTIVE IS BACK, BABY!

The roasting was so funny that everytime I watched this I can’t helped but to laughed

Finally, it’s back up.

Said it before, Michel Angelis had his best season in Season 5 with how he nails all the narration throughout from the serious bits, to the comedy and characters voices, especially his James voice.

I've been going through all these videos trying to figure out which season of Thomas we had as I was growing up, because those discs are LONG gone now, and finally figuring out it was this one legitimately explains a lot about the type of person I grew up as in hindsight 💀the sense of humor and random harrowing moments really does meld with me well

Ikr? This was the epitome of Thomas

15:41 is the best and funniest savage comment. "Your color's nice, James. Pity about your face, though!!"

My favourite episodes are cranky bugs, horrible lorries, Oliver find and teething troubles. It was a exiting season!

Season 1 - The Main Line and Thomas' Branch - storybook Season 2 - Edward's Branch - industrial Season 3 - Duck's Branch - adventurous Season 4 - Skarloey Railway - comfy Season 5 - Cinematic Season

Can’t believe kids are growing up knowing Alec Baldwin as the Boss Baby instead of the Thomas narrator smh

The best (and darkest) season in the classic series.

17:58 Henry's eyes are wonky 😅

I'm a bit mixed in my opinion of Thomas's 5th season. While I think it was pretty good for the most part, I feel like it was when the show started getting sillier than it had been previously for better and for worse. Story elements of episodes like Snow and Rusty and the Boulder exemplify this (Snow was where we got the first instance of a steam engine "having an engine"). Deviating from the strict realism of the Railway Series was not a bad thing for the show to do. It afforded a bit more leeway in terms of storytelling. However, the show sometimes stretched credibility a bit beyond reason and this season was where that started happening more. Don't get me wrong. The good still far outweighs the bad in this season. I just feel that in comparison to seasons 3-4, season 5 falls slightly short in terms of quality. Compared with what was to come, however, this was still good Thomas & Friends material.

Well, it might not be exactly Awdry-based style but season 5 was handled a lot better than both HIT and CGI combined. We got several amazing soundtrack from O'Donnell and Campbell, decent narration from two well-known individuals, and unique set designs that play a huge role in worldbuilding. Not to mention the darker tones associated with episodes like Haunted Henry, Duncan Gets Spooked, etc. The characters still act in accordance to their true selves, and we even get to hear some funny interactions. The color levels are honestly the best I've seen coupled with the variety of tone. You never know what you might get with each episode, which is important for a kids show. Don't get me started on the amount of action and thriller scenes. This goes to show how dedicated the producers were at keeping us entertained. Sure some of the episodes like Rusty and the Boulder may seem unrealistic, but they were still handled with a bit of maturity. You would hardly get any of that in modern days. That's why season 5 remains as one of my top favorites alongside season 3.

15:34 George literally just said the family friendly version of kys to Caroline lmao
