MORE BIG NEWS FOR THOMAS (FANS...MUST READ!!!)

Post by triple8 »

I just happened to come across this headline while surfing the net about 5 minutes ago. Apparently, it seems like Thomas just had YET ANOTHER license/owner change:

"HIT ENTERTAINMENT BUILDS ONE OF THE WORLD'S LEADING ENTERTAINMENT STUDIOS WITH THE ACQUISITION OF GULLANE'S THOMAS THE TANK ENGINE..."

From Britt Allcroft to Gullane to Hit Entertainment. What's going on??? :crazyeyes: :crazyeyes: :crazyeyes:

Last spring (as I recall), Gullane signed a contract with Anchor Bay Entertainment to distribute all-new Thomas episodes for VHS/DVD until 2008. :-?

Since Gullane has already made the 78 Thomas episodes for the 6th Season, I would assume HIT will work on those for the 7th and beyond. :-?

Oh brother!!
Oh well we can't do anything about that.
But what I would REALLY like to know is (a bit off topic :D ) why the new Thomas characters are premering first in Australia and not the UK. I mean the layouts of the Island of Sodor are IN Britain for crying out loud!!! :x

I wish I knew, but they'll come to us...eventually. :wink:

At least be thankful that Thomas isn't going off the air! :scrambleup:

Salty and Harvey both appear in "No Sleep for Cranky" as well! :P

It seems funny that some of us haven't seen certain episodes or characters yet, even though it is the same show! :-?

Speaking of which...Daz, will you post those summaries of "Twin Trouble" and "Gordon Takes a Tumble"? (Forget about any screenshots.) I'm still wondering what they're about! :roll:

Ok!!! so I forgot to mention that one :-?

Anyway I feel the same. TtT (Daz) if you do get screenshots its fine but first tell us what the stories are about. (what happens, who is in them, who is the story about...) tell us.
I'm getting excited :D
