Thomas and his friends heroes. Cheerful trainers from Chagmington

Who would think in the distant 1984 that a small children's television show about the adventures of transport on the railway of the fictional Island of Sodor exists for more than 30 years, will conquer millions of fans around the world and turn into a huge entertainment industry - thematic parks, annual holidays, toys, etc.

Thomas and Friends today is considered to be a British cultural heritage, despite the fact that the history of the appearance of the children's series is in many ways a series of chances. In the late 70s, Teleproducer Britt Ellcroft prepared material for a documentary film about one old English railway. This road was mentioned in the series of popular children's books "Railway Stories" Wilbert Audrey - reading one of them, Ellcroft was fascinated by the rest, and her had an idea herself: why not do for these stories a children's television show? The first 50 thousand pounds collected by it took only to buy rights to film "Railway Stories", the next few years producer searched for money for the series himself.

In 1984, the first series of "Thomas and Friends" came out on the British TV. The show was done using the subject animation: toy trees, bridges, roads, buildings, artificial reservoirs. For characters used toy trainers managed by a remote control, the fails were removable and changed in accordance with the mood of heroes. The text behind the scenes in the first season read the invited star - Ringo Starr. In the future, this was a tradition: the storylors in different years were George Carlin, Alec Baldwin and Pierce Brosnan.

In 2009, the way to create "Thomas and Friends" has changed dramatically: the toy figures refused to favor more cheap and convenient in circulation of computer animation.

Thomas and Friends keeps on the air for 18 seasons - it's almost half a thousand. The new season will appear on the screens this summer. During the years of the show, the show covered his own mythology and went beyond the television format. These are thematic parks in the UK and Japan, annually hosting millions of visitors. This is a variety of separate attractions around the world. And naturally - toys: railways from the series (there are several of them) and characters - train, airplanes and other machines, men.

The number of teddy carrotos sold over the years of the existence - more than 16 million. You can buy them in Ukraine. This is a collectible metal series, a motorized plastic series and a special series for children older than one year, the steam vessels in which are made with funny special effects. In addition to toy trainings, there are also rates of railways in series - with various movement switches, tunnels and other elements that repeat the roads of the soda.

The popularity of Thomas and Friends series in the 80s came out of the UK - it began to be shown in the USA, Japan and then around the world. On the Ukrainian TV, this animated series was broadcast in the mid-90s - from the first episodes. And now "Thomas and Friends" Ukrainian spectators can watch daily - on the channel "Plus Plus" at 10:55.

Simple, at first glance, the idea of \u200b\u200bthe animation series - the train with a human face, the routine on the railway - in fact, contains many didactic messages not only for children, but also for adults. Sodor is an image of any community where there are good and harmful, where newcomers have to adapt, where problems should be solved together. Each character - be it a locomotive, a car or other vehicle - has its own character and memorable appearance. In total, there were about 90 characters in the animated series, more than 30 of which are represented in the new collection of the collectible series of toy trainer. Among all the actors you can allocate ten main ones at the moment.
