Here's a little thing about Thomas in recent years. After Hit Entertainment (the same company that owns Bob the Builder) bought the franchise off the original creators of the TV series - Britt Allcroft and David Mitton - in 2003, Thomas became a rather mundane and generic baby show where morals were shoved down the kids throats. It got more and more apparent well after the show went full CGI in 2009. It wasn't until 2013 when Mattel bought the majority of the franchise and Thomas started to get back to its roots of being a more grounded, unique show heavily driven by its excellent characters. Not to mention improved the animation.
