Just like trains outside of Sodor don't have faces yet when they go to Sodor or encounter an engine from Sodor they magically obtain a face. (Like Lady from TTTE, engines from Big World, Big Adventures, and others.) Also, Big Mickey was in Brendam Harbor for a long time during the model series, just turned around to hide his megaphone. He was finally revealed in Season 21, during the CGI series. So the face could have been part of the repairs from damage suffered because of the explosion.

This is a bit more mature than Thomas the tank engine is, I mean the tv show, not the railway series books.

Honest to god I think there's enough fans of this show with all the requisite skill sets that we could come together and make a continuation series of this show if there were enough crowdfunding and strong leadership. Modellers, Automation, Film, Audio, Writers, VAs etc. Hardest part would be having a facility for filming and a legal department to not get C&D'd from whoever has the IP rights. Dunno, just a dream.

Hello, Gamebuilder2000! Thank you for uploading the _entirety_ of tugs for us all to watch! Before watching this video, I only ever saw clips from Tugs, as well as reviews stating that the show was the "dark sister show" of Thomas the Tank Engine. I was immediately captivated upon the first few seconds I watched "Sunshine". Here's my first impression, after viewing "Sunshine": Like its sister show, TTTE, Tugs has a diverse cast of characters with unique and charming personalities. Though the Star Tugs have their differences, they have the common goal of completing their work with dignity, respect, and sufficiency...(Fergus, this isn't the time for steamies, it's...oh, okay, I see...yes, yes, I'll tell them...) In other words, the Star Tugs "Do it right!". In contrast to TTTE, Tugs has a set of equally memorable antagonists, the Z-Stacks...unless, of course, you count the Troublesome Trucks as antagonists, which I totally understand. However, _unlike_ the Troublesome Trucks, the Z-Stacks have the goal of sabotaging their competition, while _also_ completing their own tasks in a sufficient manner. (Sorry, Fergus, I can't say "Do it right!" for these guys. They like to play dirty...yes, even worse than Bill and Ben.) I'd like to type more, but I'll save _that_ for when I complete watching this beautiful series! Until next time, Gamebuilder2000, have a great day/night, and take care!

I’m kinda sad this didn’t do as well as Thomas & Friends. I can see there was some really good potential here. And you can tell they worked really hard at it, too. Just two things could’ve been improved: there is so much smoke it makes one feel like the camera work is a 1940’s home movie quality. Second, the characters should be painted in bright colors like the trains in order to tell each tug character apart from the others. The voice actors are brilliant, but colors would make any confusion for the audience practically impossible.

Subscribed the moment I saw this. It may surprise you to know it but there's a LOT of fanbase of tugs, even though there were only 13 episodes.

This is the more matured version of TTTE, yet TTTE had 24 seasons but TUGS only Had 1 season.

I remember watching this when I was very young. I just came across this now and it opened a ton of memories

I was obsessed with this as a kid. I can almost feel my emotions from then. It's so weirdly nostalgic.

I like how this was the nautical version of Thomas and Friends back in the day.

1:57:21 symbolic of Thomas's reputation in the modern era.

If I was to be honest having looked at some behind the scenes footage this was on a technically more impressive level than Thomas the tank engine as if memory serves that series used string this used remote control

Is everybody gonna ignore the fact that the person who made the TTTE TV series made this?

Everyone knows that Lol. David Mitton, who directed the classic era of Thomas & Friends, directed TUGS as well. Its pretty much a sister-show to TTTE, just a lot more mature.

It was going to but I think the episodes were gonna be more based Up River which would have been very difficult to film, You'll be able to find out more information about on Wikipedia

Oh, the memories! Old shows like this are the best!

This is even more hilarious when you sync the og (Easiest visually) with this.

Young me had no idea what was going on in these stories, and honestly I still find parts of it confusing mostly for how fast the script moves. Still, it's got amazing production values, so I can see why I always enjoyed Tugs nonetheless!

I'd completely forgotten about this! And I used to watch ot all the time!

i first heard of this show from a video from Steve Reviews. and now my chance to see it for myself has come.

I see where Victor Tanzig took inspiration from

i absolutely live for ten cents voice

Top Hat: I say this is an outrage! Captain Star: THIS IS AN EMERGENCY JOB!!!

I remember this as a kid, and some of it gave me nightmares I think, the scenes where it's nighttime and foggy. Been meaning to find it for a while now and couldnt' find it on torrent sites. Good work.
