Default What the hell have they done to Thomas the Tank Engine?
Remember when it was a cool little series with model trains and Ringo Starr telling us the story?

Youtube video


Now’s it’s CGI, they all have annoying voices and Thomas belts out power ballads

Why have they totally wrecked all these shows that all looked so individual and made them all look the same?

Thomas has been CGI for at least a decade, but yeah it's pretty hollow and craftless.

Spoiler:


Po is short for Post Office, and post boxes are red
Lala sounds like yellow - well it doesn't, but it sounds more like "yellow" than Tinky Winky, Dipsy, or Po
Dipsy - sounds like deep sea, and the deep sea is kind of green
Tinky Winky - the one who's left
