About the Show
Since its debut on U.K. television in 1984, Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends has captured the hearts and imaginations of children worldwide.
Broadcast in more than 130 countries, the series uses advanced techniques in animation and special effects to create a fusion of railway settings, rolling landscapes and bright bustling engines that delight viewers of every age and language.
The star of the show, Thomas, is a cheeky, fussy, little engine that often gets into scrapes, usually by doing things best left to bigger locomotives. However, clouds never last long in Thomas’ life and he’s soon bustling about again in the yard and on his very own branch line.
