Oh Thomas the Tank Engine Fandom... - Page 2

Thomas the Tank Engine has a surprisingly large adult fandom on youtube, who have produced many odd videos. These include:

*Thomas/"insert cartoon show here (usually Sonic or TUGS, although Mario, SpongeBob, Disney, and TMNT have become more and more common). Thomas clips synced up to audio from another series.
*"Interviews" with toy trains, not always Thomas ones, but generally in the same scale.
*Thomas's Adventures, an offshoot of the equally bizarre "Pooh's Adventures," in which Thomas clips are inserted into various movies and made to look as if Thomas is interacting with the film's cast.
*Re-Enactments of episodes using Trainz or toy figures.
*And lastly, The Rise of Steam, a fan made sequel to Thomas and the Magic Railroad, in which a murderous engine named only "Steam Engine" tries to wipe out all of dieselkind and brainwashed several engines.
*And then there's all the myriad AMVs, redubs, etc.

Your thoughts on all this?
