Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends is a miracle. The concept of adapting the Rev. W. Awdry's books to children's television would be an impossibility in 2021 because it seems the only profitable option is to emulate a loud 'n flashy American iPad app.

After

came out, Turtles apparently “went on a date with a girl” and bragged about he was in a Thomas the Train fan film which trended on Twitter. A few weeks later, I asked him if he was still seeing that girl. He responded, “she stopped opening my messages😢”.

The evolution of the TTTE fandom is fascinating to me. For years, I felt like it was widely accepted that the HiT era was trash but now I wouldn't make that generalization. At the end of the day, most people tend to gravitate towards the Thomas they grew up with. Just a thought.

I will never understand why TTTE chose to go global when they clearly can't afford it. The animation budget was cut in half and the amount of sets required of tripled. Why would you chose NOW as the time to make this change? Every single element is a reskin of existing assets.

One year ago today,
#TATMRParody
premiered after 4 years of on-and-off writing, filming and editing. I was never trying to tell a normal TTTE story. Instead, in the process of satirizing the 2000 film, I think we were able to create a complex story of temptation and redemption.

TTTE is what made me the person I am today. Watching the Classic Series and being inspired to make my own videos taught me how to express myself creatively, and I intend to spend the rest of my life making movies because of it.

has taken that away from future generations.

One of the most appealing elements of TTTE as a brand from the beginning was how old-fashioned it was. Both Ringo Starr and Awdry were absolutely dumbfounded by the immediate success in a market saturated by cartoon shows that were all louder, faster, and more action-packed.

Every time I feel like I'm losing interest in Thomas, I sit down and watch an older episode, typically S5/6, and I'm immediately reminded of why I want to pursue film, and continue producing content surrounding the little blue devil. He is family, and he is home. Gotta love him.

Faulty Whistles is one of my favorite episodes of all time, the ending in particular. I don't know what is, but there's something so quintessentially "Thomas-y" about it. It evokes a feeling, a tone, something that the first 6 seasons (minus TATMR) have that was lost with HiT.

Hey uh, so that everyone's clear on this - Just because you're a republican, it doesn't mean you're a Trump supporter. Just because you are a democrat, it doesn't mean you need to like Biden. There CAN be more nuance to the situation.
