The History of "The Misadventures of Thomas & Friends"

My most popular YouTube series is The Misadventures of Thomas & Friends. It was created out of the fact that the Thomas & Friends TV series was pretty sucky at the time, so this was supposed to be an alternative to that. The pilot was released on July 1st 2011, the show ran for 12 episodes over 2 seasons. A third season was conceived and even a new wooden railway layout was built. But after my parent's divorce split my presence and the fact my room was going to be used as space for rent. The third season was never produced.

One year later,the pilot for a new series "The New Wooden Adventures of Thomas & Friends" was released on December 27th 2014. This new spin off featured set based filming (as opposed to one big layout) and efforts to reduce the presents of a hand moving everything. The series was also going to more serious as opposed to being comedic. An official first episode was filmed (going back to the layout format) and would have featured sound effects in place of vocal noises, but was never finished. A rough cut will be released soon onto pergold.

In conclusion, even if my parent's marital status wasn't so much like the Titanic. The Misadventures of Thomas & Friends would have been cancelled anyway albeit after the third/fourth season, as the TV series was improving so there was no need to have an alternative. Probably the most memorable part of making this was leokimvideo commented on a "behind the scenes" video that I had made.

All episodes are watchable on my YouTube channel, most of 'em are a couple years old and a couple hadn't aged all that well.
