WARNING: This video is not intended for kids, it is meant for teens and young adults who grew up with Thomas and Friends. Due to copyright issues, I had to flip, freeze, and trim large amounts of footage in the final cut of this video. Everything in this video is subject to my opinion, it’s fine if you agree or disagree.

A 40-minute video talking in-depth about inconsistencies for a reboot aimed at 3-year-olds. If you get the reference, have a cookie.
