- Y'ALL THE MEDIA THE MEDIA BBC RIGHT NOW BBC RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!!!!
- ⚡️THE PILOT⚡️ (A thread) During Clearwater's production of the first Series in 1983, the producers were already securing licensing contracts with various companies to release merchandise. Many of the stuff you see is an interesting RWS-style with a TV Series twist. (1/7)
- because of one woman, i have the greatest friends in my life. and i've met and made many more. i'm not sure what sort of identity i'd have if it weren't for thomas, but my God i'm thankful for the life I've been blessed with. rest easy britt, and thank you for everything.
- Here is among the batshit crazy ERTL stuff that was auctioned off this morning. Included are all high res photos, auction pages, lot details, and archived links. drive.google.com/file/d/1mO6Zic…
- It is time for you to join us, computer generated tank engine.
- Some more fun Britt Allcroft trivia- You will notice literally everywhere, the voiceover is referred by "Storyteller" instead of "Narrator". Britt was very deliberate on making sure these actors were not referred to as such, as she considered Thomas "storybook television".
- Today, I learned that somebody absolutely destroyed the Emily prop model in an attempt to "fix" the breakage from the New Jersey exhibit. Currently seen in Kansas City with a cracked funnel, and an extremely bad matte black smokebox repaint. (📸AverageBassPlayer)
- THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE (EST. 1945) ~ STYLE GUIDE (2007) Here's an exceptional find, a collection of assets used on merchandising in the fashion of The Railway Series! Many of these assets are in raw vector .ai form, and illustrations as Photoshop PSD's! bit.ly/3wZC0nC
- Recently, I learned that another iconic member from TUGS has passed away- John Baddeley, the hilarious voice of arguably the two best characters of the entire show. May he rest easy 🎩🕊️
My wonderful grandpa, John Baddeley, died peacefully at home on Saturday at the age of 92. He was an amazing grandpa, dad and husband, a prolific actor, and one of the funniest and wittiest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. We’ll all miss him so very much. - I want to share a fun tidbit Britt Allcroft shared with us during her time. "Britt Allcroft Presents" had to be at the start of every Thomas story, because that was her "present" to the child watching the films. It was very important to her, and holds strongly especially now.
- Highly recommend watching Scruffy Dog Media Ltd's upload of the pilot. This was the company who did the restoration and is slightly better bitrate/clarity than the official Thomas & Friends channel upload! youtube.com/watch?v=g97SET…
