Does the real Thomas actually even count as stop motion? I don’t recall a single frame-by-frame in that entire show.
It was more like a narration over a model train set
Narration by Ringo Starr, no less!
Which sounds like the most random narration by a celebrity, until you realize that Leonard Nemoy did narration for a video game where you use a microphone to talk to a fish.
No, I’m not making a joke. That’s real. That happened.
Buy another Dreamcast.
It’s live-action with model trains on sets, with narration over it. No stop-motion involved.
1946 is also acceptable
The 1 on the animated one is backwards because they were too lazy to redraw it for the other side. They just flipped the sprite.
It’s possible whoever made the meme just flipped a screen cap, so all 3 Thomas’s would be facing the same direction
Good point. I’ll still fault the cartoon for not having good pictures of their character online. A smart TV producer makes it easy for people to meme their show.
That first Thomas is what’s unsettling.
You weren’t kidding…
Only Ringo narration
Unsettling stop motipn? May I introduce to you, The Adventures of Gumby, from the 1970s.
Show is like nightmare fuel if you take everything at face value.
Bottom looks least unsettling.
Ever see worthikid’s captain yajima? I wonder if that digital stop motion style would work for a thomas series
