solrocknroll Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Recently, with the special King of the Railway, the head writer shifted from Sharon Miller to Andrew Brenner and animation went to Arc Productions. Since then, tons of old engines, such as Duck, Bill, Ben, and Oliver, have returned and the episodes got more intelligent. Your thoughts on this? I think it's a great change and I'm looking forward to both The Adventure Begins for the 70th anniversary of the Railway Series and Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure.

Sentacotus Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I still have some of the Thomas sets stored away in the closet in my room. Good times man, good times. Hell yeah man! I remember my parents would switch them around on the track and when I came back to them I would put them back like I had them they thought I was a little OCD at the time. But hell it was fun.

Lord Raven Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I see that and raise you another classic from my childhoodI've seen that, and while it's kind of funny, the music and the lyrics don't seem to match nearly as well as "In Da Club." It's like a marriage that's based purely upon sex compared to two completely different people having a perfect marriage built upon harmony.

lonelyVoxel Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Nos. 1-11 getting more attention? More intelligence? Gee, maybe they'll make some Thomas that could stand up to the original episodes in quality. My 10 y/o little bro has been phasing in and out of it, and I stopped being a superfan once they started using Cgi. I certainly have to look into the new stuff, though, once the writer switch happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I used to watch Thomas as a kid whenever I saw it was on. I kinda stopped watching it after... maybe 6/7 years old, though. I used to watch a lot of things before the Mega Drive and PS1 took over everything I did. I would even watch Blockbusters as a kid. That gameshow was pretty neat.

MacLovin Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 oh my fucking god. when my sibling was little, we had a shitton of plastic tracks, wooden tracks, and all sorts of thomas the tank engine trains. I had to keep replacing the batteries because the little fella kept running 9-10 of them at once in the living room, on a massive track.
