I really don't like how Zorran in this series isn't a complete jerk. Come on, Zorran was meant to be unpleasant, so why is he all remorseful and sorry in this?
GOD AWFUL SHIT. what the hell did america do to one of the best damn british made tv programe of the 80's i seriously sugest you guys check out the originals.
I never could understand the American need to butcher up good British TV shows. If you compare early US Thomas episodes to the British ones, you can hear a noticeable difference in the US.
It's like God forbid anyone should be offended or poked at in America.
This was pretty bad. I remember seeing this dubbed version when I was little, but seeing it again, I think it''s pretty bad compared to the original. I mean, why did Captain Star and Sunshine have to be chicks?
Well, I figured it was the name, but they all have irregular names. And besides, the captain couldn't be a woman because it's the 20's. Women weren't allowed to do much of anything back then.
Well SL is meant to take place in current days not the 20's...... Really though if you know your architecture, all the buildings are 20's era plus how old the TUGS designs are.
Yeah, I figured that out actually, so it does kinda make sense, but they still look like 20s era tugboats, as do the buildings, and if that wasn't enough, they still run on steam power, but they say that they run on diesel fuel, so it's one big paradox.
until about 3 or 4 years ago I was unaware that salty's light house was an adaption of another show. I remember watching it when I was about 6 and I thought it was great then I found out it was a redub of tugs
just so you all know the guy who voiced top hat hercules and stanley/chooch was Long John Baldry The Same Guy Who voiced robotnik in the adventures of sonic he hedgehog
um there was this kid show that used to come on TLC called Nini's Treehouse and I was wondering if you could get any episodes of it and post them or least the intro or something
When I first saw this when I was young,I didn't know this was the sister show to "Thomas" and even the regular show "TUGS" still doesn't feel like it's "Thomas"(despite they're tugboats).
I think the reason it doesn't feel like Thomas is because in Tugs every character had their own voice and the music used in the episodes don't sound similar to the music used in Thomas.
Now that you mention it, I agree, the music is similar. I think I heard a rumor recently that they want to give Thomas the Tank engine voice actors instead of just a narrator. Thomas becoming a CGI was bad enough, but they just keep making it worse.
I heard that the Japanese dub used different voices. The only time different voices were used in an English version was in "Thomas and the Magic Railroad" which was a bad movie only because the executives made so many cuts that part of the plot was lost. There's a rumor about a directors cut for that movie.
I say that the show should have either run more like Shining Time Station with the actual episodes, or created it's own tugboat characters instead of redesigning a classic show into a load of rubbish!
Zip sounds a bit feminine, Boomer sounds too much like Zug, and the tramper getting stuck storyline has really been watered down by just instantly coming free!
I think I saw part of that episode when I was young. (It aired in Britain as well). In that one, Boomer's voice was very much like his old Irish voice. I eould often talk over clips from Jinxed, Quarantine, and Up River (the only episodes I had on video) with the original dialouge.
I know! They're meant to be tough, sly, evil and cunning boats! In the original show, Zorran would NEVER compliment and reassure Zug! He would more likely insult him!
Hey it couldve been worse! There were several rumors spouting about that Grampus was Female, Zip was called Ziggy and Lillie became Mrs. Dempsey those were all lies!
I remember when this show aired in Britain, part of one episode I watched had the she-Cptn Star asking Ten Cents and the she-Sunshine to taking something out to Lillie Lightship, so I remember her name wasn't changed, but I didn't see any with Grampus. I've now done a solo redub of the Johnny Cuba scene you posted using iMovie.
FUN FACT: Ten Cents is voiced by Ian James Corlett the guy who does the voice of Goku!!! :D Pretty awesome...not as good as the cockney Simon Nash though.
He also voiced Coconuts in the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog, whilst the late Long John Baldry (who voiced Robotnik) is the voice of Top Hat! (Although he isn't doing his "Rrrrrrrrrobotnik" voice sadly!)
Ian James Corlett was also known for playing Funshine Bear from "Care Bears: Adventures in Care-a-Lot",which also had Samuel Vincent,who played Edd from "Ed,Edd,and Eddy" and Tracey Moore,who played Princess Toadstool from those "Super Mario" cartoons.
Definately, since I first seen Salty's Lighthouse, I thought Sunbow Entertainment made the TUGS back then & they repeated & edited the scenes!!!! But now I seen TUGS, I'm starting to think it is better than SL!!!

I'll agree with you on the first thing, but compare the music in the original TUGS to TTTE Season 3 and 4. You'll hear a striking similarity.
After all, Junior Campbell and Mike O' Donnel did compose the msuic for TUGS, too.

Once again, I can agree the CGI and moving faces is bad, but I really like the idea of multiple character voices.
