Thomas & Friends: 2013 Review

2013

Last year Thomas & Friends had a lot of changes, including an animation switch over to ARC, which wasn't that good. Season 17 and the new writer(Andrew Brenner) was great, and it was nice to see the return of old forgotten character's like Bill, Ben, Duck, and Harvey(cameo).

Season 17 had 26 episode's, and also had a new character named Porter who is a dockside steam engine with three sand domes. The Thomas Wooden Railway product's changed this year, as Mattel re-leased lot's of engine's with ARCs' animation look, and made other new item's as well.

King of the Railway was a good movie, and had new character's named Conner, Catlin, Stephen, and Millie. The background music was good, and it was nice to see the troublesome truck's have more expression in the CGI.

There were five DVD's last year, and they were Go Go Thomas, Muddy Matters, Animal's Aboard!, Railway Mischief, Santa's Little Engine, and The Thomas Way. Animal's Aboard! had the same episode's as Curious Cargo, so it's odd that they even released it.
