CGI is great, the old stuff is unwatchable


my little one just started watching this on netflix and i have a hard time watching the older ones (pre 2009) but it seems that a bunch of people like the older ones...is that right? i definitely prefer the cgi animation.

Same goes to me

The CGI Reboots of 80s shows are Terrible
Even the CGI thomas the tank engine was horrible
The old Thomas the tank Engine is way more Superior to the CGI Seasons

I can't stand the CGI, love the old style better.

To each his own! :)

Sorry , but Thomas needs to be the models, when my kids were watching it, I tuned out the show and just watched the models and scenery, when you realize your looking at model trains up to a 2 feet long the show becomes something more, the work done on the scenery is breathtaking.

Thomas needs to have good storytelling before any of that. CGI is cheaper nowadays, they will never go back to the models.

Well said. The story and characters come first.

I agree... I don't like Thomas the Tank Engine in general but I can definitely say the modern episodes are more appealing than the original ones.

The CGI looks great these days. And making sh*t on computers isn't exactly easy.

The future is sh*t, just like the past...

Ya dude you are gravely in the major minority along with the rest of these people who think cgi was better for this.

I'm afraid you're in the minority...
