RIP old school thomas

[ZeroGal5]

i grew up with the original Thomas and Shinning Time Station series, and i was really worried about how this CGI would change this series. but you know what, the animation is beautiful! it gives everything a whole new feeling, and it ensures that Thomas and his friends can compete with new shows on the air. we will never forget the original models, but this is a positive change to keep this glorious series alive.

Eww... CGI...

[captainofthetitanic]

i liked it when there mouths didnt move

[Rusty5]

@captainofthetitanic who doesn't...?

[Xgamr]

While i dont mind the CG, they really messed Duck up.

[etwncengineer]

I don't know why they have to go and "fix" something that is not broken. It looks nice and everything, but I like the old Thomas better.

[KH990j]

I do wish that they would cut down somewhat on the facial movement, it adds too much emotion.

[Rusty5]

At least the characters aren't as expressive as some other CGI kid's characters these days. it'll probably relax as the show goes on. I think the animators will be busier moving the engines now, as opposed to focusing on only the people and faces last season.

[KH990j]

That is one thing I'm concerned about, is that if they're going to make everthing CGI, I hope they give it plenty of realism.

[Rusty5]

From the one picture we have from the test episode, it looks like there will be enough realism to take it seriously.

[macattac3]

whoes the character at 0:57

[Rusty5]

That would be n00b, a character who goes around only asking questions when he'd be much better off going to find out on his own.

Seriously, come in here with some background knowledge or get out.

[macattac3]

hey mate! wat do you mean backround knowledge, i watched all the golden years of thomas as a kid! i don't see these new "shit" years as anything i should watch, i just wanted to know wat thomas was up to now and i find this new character.

[Rusty5]

Well at least watch Season 12. It's fantastic compared to the others, and there's only twenty episodes of it so spend your time watching those on YouTube instead of bothering the users here.

[XBrucePatX]

[FanToAll]

Mind telling me what stories these are? 'Cause I can't find 'em anywhere around youtube!

[CybertronNews22]

Well you won't find one with very good quality on YouTube, but PercyandBillyFan has kindly put up 4 episodes. They are "Thomas and the Billboard", "Steddie Eddie", Heave Ho, Thomas", and "A Suprise for Toby". The two first ones are really good and the second two introduce two new engines, Hank the American engine and Flora the Steam Tram.

[ChrisT1000000two]

I uploaded them, but I was suspended. BTW, thanks Rusty for the credit

[Rusty5]

No problem. I understand how much trouble it was to get them here. I'll be sure to put a credit in all the videos that use the episodes. ;)

[LeonSKennedy828]

do you have any full episodes of series 12 by any chance? I really badly want to see one!

[CybertronNews22]

Check PercyandBillyFan. He's got some.

[ChrisT1000000two]

Cool.

[Headbanger142]

I wish they wouldn't move to full CGI. It won't be the same without the models! :(

[CybertronNews22]

Stepney, Duck, Oliver, and D & D were one of the best things about season 12.

[llahsram555]

of course

[450011382]

Awesome!
