Skirts & Wellies – We love the new episodes we've seen, hope your little ones do too!

Emily O – Blisters to the end! I was quite impressed that it still looks like the old island etc even though it's CG animation. Not too OTT.

Ella – I hope they liked it!

I will have to make sure we catch this tomorrow. If nothing else, it is always a good way to make sure the children are ready to go with coats and schoolbags at the ready because they can't bear to miss it!

It'll be interesting to see if my eight year old, who still likes Thomas, minds the changes.

This is why we're blisters, we reviewed it in our house too! : D Four year old LOVES it and has watched it several times a day like Big E. Shame the sets and models have gone, but if the children like it that's all that matters.

My little ones love Thomas. We've seen the talking Thomas before and it does not make any difference to how much they love him. We're ver excited for new episodes.

Lax – Ta lovely x

Dan – I totally understand where you're coming from and was having a similar discussion with someone on Twitter. It is a shame in some ways that the old models have gone but I do think moving forward that kids these days expect more even though their parents appreciate 'the art'. I remember when Big E first watched Thomas and the theme tune had changed from the one I remembered, I've grown to love it in the end (especially since he sounds so cute singing it).

To be honest I'm really really disapointed that the makers of Thomas have decided to go this way. The show was unique before – and I loved marveling at the model making. Now it sounds like it's just going to go the way of all cartoons – cheap CGI.

Bah. where is the art?
