Ivor the Engine - Ep20 - Snowdrifts

[sibeliandrift]

Strange wistful melancholy in the beginning. So beautiful. It was alright for children to see emotions in stories in those days...

funny isn't it now we get a bit of snow and the railways come to a halt. the golden age of steam.

[TheCuntneck]

Through sentimental story telling and atmospheric illustrations, Postgate and Firmin succeded in giving their lovely little loco a real heartfelt personaility and more than a little humanity.  Oh, the good old days.....

Baconsandwich - no, it's not just you.

I loved this so much as a little-un! Just the theme tune takes me right back to the days. Thank you!

[NorthWindBlowingCold]

Such a delightful series, I remember it well though watching it now fills me with sadness that those days are gone....This was a magical moment in television history and it will never be bettered - well, not any more. Sheer nostalgia - thank you SO much for uploading this.

[baconsandwich2007]

[Eener101]

Nice, still looks good today. Seems to be done like southparkwith cut-outs instead of cell drawn animation.

godbless you oliver postgate.thankyou for making my childhood special.

[iamtomw]

Ivor is brilliant. and im not even an old man. My dad showed me this and i now love it

[frglee]

This one is rather beautiful I think...check out the buildings in the snow,really nicely drawn and atmospheric. You do not need computer animation for a nice toon but you do need artists with imagination and ability.
