Thomas the Tank Engine 70th Anniversary Celebration! (Thomas & Friends)

Описание: A cause for celebration indeed. No one's as true and blue as a certain number 1!

I had to do something for the 70th while it was still the 70th. It's very tongue in cheek in this video, but I am writing a Thomas episode. Yes. Seriously. It took me long enough I know. It will take some time but I want it to be the best it can be. I decided to release some footage of it because I feel like it won't be done in time for the 70th year, but also because I wanted to prove I am actually making a Thomas story. It will be called "Here, There, and Everywhere: A Thomas Tale" and I assure you, it will be something well worth waiting for, among, well, all the other too many things I'm doing! :)

People have wondered how in the world a Thomas Fan Series can have over 50 episodes with Thomas only having a handful of supporting roles, while Bertram spoke in over 8 episodes in 1 season. One can accurately assess this as some bizarre neurotic pleasure of mine, but this is also because Thomas gets the most exposure so i avoided getting trapped into making him the lead. "Enterprising Engines" has and will always be about the ensemble, though Thomas deserves some screen time too! ;)

I think someway, somehow, I can appreciate Thomas the Tank Engine for it's Blue Mountain Mysteries, Magic Railroads, Gallant Old Engines, Lost Treasures, Misty Island Rescues, Heroes of the Rails, and demonic boulders that inexplicably come to life basically and destroy everything. I've been a fan since '93 and I probably will for a long time. Thank you Thomas the Tank Engine and all his friends, who have brought me so much joy and enthusiasm in this world, and hopefully you will inspire many more to be the best they can be, here, there or anywhere!

There is some foreshadowing in this video, maybe about Self-Fulfilling Prophecy and the next episode? (I assurE you my grammEr isn't that bad...) I thought it would be fun to start teasing some of the fun stuff as I get closer to production on a grand scale.

The songs used are "Morning Mood" and the "Can-Can" from the youtube audio library.
