Blinky Bill Facts: What’s the name of the Human girl in the 1992 movie?
This lovely little human girl character from Blinky Bill I’ve noticed has had some multiple names scattered around the internet on various different websites. Seeing no one else has done so, I thought I’d explain what I’m sure is her official name (with proof) being sourced from none other than official Blinky Bill merchandise itself (the trusty illustrated book of the movie).
All things I don’t own belong to their rightful owner.
Am I wrong?, was she actually called Claire in offical media or interviews? Let me know in the comments below..

The Tribute Episode to Britt Allcroft (LS)

A couple of days ago I was saddened to learn about the passing of Britt Allcroft the creator of Thomas the tank engine and friends. Any word I can put forward about Britt would be an understatement. All I can say now is rest in peace and may your sole fly high with the Rev. W. Awdry, Michael Angelis, George Carlin and anyone else whom we’ve lost from the classic series of Thomas the tank engine...

AI Written ‘Classic Series Style’ Thomas Story (UK) - VHS

A little while back I went onto a website to see what’d happen if I instructed an AI script writer to write a Thomas story. The instructions I gave were: Series 3 Style and Michael Angelis narration. It gave me lots of results which were all APPALLING! This one (I thought) was the best, so I decided to adapt it JUST FOR FUN. The results are what you’re seeing in this video.

In this video I decided to rewatch the VERY FIRST video I uploaded to TH-cam which I did character voices in. The episode itself was recorded around late 2015 but didn’t get uploaded until 2016 and honestly it’s not as cringe as I thought, but still it’s worth a watch as it tells a story of just how far I’ve come in this day and age! Altogether, I think you’ll be surprised with how little my vo...

The Alistair and Mates series has been dormant for just over 3 years now and I’ve decided for fun to yank the characters out and make some episodes with them. This here is episode 1 of 4 in very early stages of completion. The reason it’s an “Early Cut” is because I do NOT have full access to my editing computer and the intro hasn’t been recorded yet. The reason for me uploading this is to keep...

Ahhhh, the Keith Scott Diesel 10 voice.. haven’t done this one for a while let me break it down for you.. To get this voice I visualise Mayor Pelican from Blinky Bill and Arktos from Tabaluga, mixing these two together you get a voice that sounds like Diesel 10 a very difficult impression to learn if you don’t know Keith Scott or the other characters he’s voiced.

George Carlin Impression (Read description)

Basically, I hate this impression and my reason being is.. I don’t know George Carlin’s voice well enough to impersonate it. Adding to this, I’m not a big fan of of the US Dubs of Thomas and Friends. Hence why I opt to imitate Ringo Starr or Michael Angelis.. (but even those sometimes don’t sound great) But for those interested on hearing what I sound like doing an impression of George Carlin, ...

Rest easy, Britt. None of us would have the love for trains or these characters if it wasn't for you. ❤🕊
1st. Farewell Britt Allcroft (December 14, 1943-December 25, 2024)
Have you heard about a 1991 film The Little Engine That Could? I only saw some scenes one was Tillie pulling the engines out of the round house or round shed and Farnsworth stopping with the coaches banging behind him but didn't know the rest till I got the tape to watch in 2013 I then got into making some replica models of them from wood and did up a series from one to two hence I wanted to do a third.
Nice voicing those guys.
@@TheNewStoryteller Glad to hear loved them!
I'd say this AI needs to be trained EXCLUSIVELY on the scripts from S1 to S3 before writing an episode if it's ever going to get close to being good. Wreaks of latter era CGI crap.
Seems like one of those one off kids story’s for books. But while boring we’ve seen worse, BWBA. *Cough*
@Us3fu1-2 The AI has obviously no idea how to structure a Series 3 episode. Out of all honesty I prefer how the editing worked out on this video, was basic but still not bad.
@ it isn’t bad, just simply stating we’ve seen worse in recent times and yet AI can right better.
@ fair point mate
Amazing work! Great job! The mouse is my favourite character!
@@oldsquarewheelsproductions 🤣 I didn’t know the AI added a mouse as a character after I uploaded the video 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
@ such a great character 😂😂😂
"In the Land of Sodor"? *OH GOD IT'S EXPANDING!!!!😱*
@@Andrea_the_Collector925 Obviously the AI had no idea what it was writing about.
@LesStarport GET TO THE BUNKER!!!!!!!!!
Well, this take place roughly around season one before duck is around. I guess the express wasn’t as heavy then it was in triple header.
Kevin love you thomas th
This is something straight from the hit era
1:11 Thomas and Gordon Talking About Express
Wait, Sir Topham Hatt actually helped Thomas by scolding the trucks?!
This could take place in Season 2 before Duck's Arrival
@@TheMk1thomas Hmmm, not a bad suggestion. But I think it’d be much better if this as a Series 2 episode would be a direct adaptation of triple header.
I’ve used AI before and I must say, some of them are really great and some are bad. Splendid work on this!
@@ReallyUsefulPinkEngine29 You are quite right there! And..thank you!
@ np!
What’s that music theme called at 4:03? I keep hearing it many times in other TH-cam videos but I can never find the name of that music theme anywhere it’s driving me crazy, please let me know so I can find it in the future
@@bigmacsama it’s called the travelling theme, Sudrian Afro did it.
You should add two more express coaches
@@jamar3797 Series 1 only had 3 coaches on the express (like in Thomas and Gordon)
@@LesStarportTo be fair, there were five coaches in Edward Gordon and Henry.
@becdoesyoutube technically 2 of the five coaches were brake coaches
@ True but still. Budget.
@@becdoesyoutube Yes, of course. I forgot all about that one! Silly me, I’m more a Tugs person these days than a Thomas.
I like the story I reckon it's not based on Triple Header. The way I see it is a double header. Have you heard I've got a Custom model of Toby The Tram Engine? I made a number of films using the model, I call him Pilot Toby.
@@TheNewStoryteller I think you’d be wrong with saying it’s not based on triple header (technically it wasn’t mean to) but I realised after I uploaded it, it displayed a very similar storyline only difference really being Series 1 style and a double header. So yeah..
I wonder why on Triple header they had more trouble pulling the train even when Duck was added on the train and in Bowled Out it took Duck and Stepney pulling the train effortlessly.
@@kennethjoseph9309 you make a very good point!
In Triple Header the express has 20 coaches
@ That was the RWS though. This is clearly based off the TV Series adaptation from 1984.
@@LesStarport I know
I just realised this episode resembles the RWS Book Triple Header. Please note I did NOT write this episode with that in mind as my knowledge on the RWS is very very small. This being the case I’d like to ask you ignore the end credit “an original Thomas story” because it’s really just a lose adaptation in the style of Series 1. Please, let me know if you’d like to see a proper adaptation of Triple Header. I might consider it in the near future.
This is like Triple Header
@@jackmaksymowicz5387 Yes, you are quite right. I never thought about triple header.
Amazing! Did you use AI again?
@@ReallyUsefulPinkEngine29 Nope, this one is an original I wrote myself (end credits state this)
@@LesStarportoh, ok
@@ReallyUsefulPinkEngine29 yeah, the AI written episode was really just a 1 off. I don’t wanna become a laughing stock of the fandom, nor do I want selfish fans comment fighting in my comments. I’m really grateful though that the Thomas content I’ve recently made actually has people watching
@ I see
Very nice indeed! This would indeed have to be another lost episode of Season 1!
honestly i dont give a fuck if people are hating this, AI exist and they’ll live and get used to it, this video is just for fun.
@@cardylatankincyan Can’t put that better myself. And you are absolutely right the only reason I made this was just FOR FUN!!
It’s weird how I actually like this story, it’s like one of those 1 off random house books
The start sounds like his engine gallery description on DVD and vhs
Finally the Fat Controller scolds the trucks and not the engines
If you ever do another one, may I narrate? I can do a mean Michael Angelis.
@@ryanspotato3117 I appreciate your interest, but..I like to narrate the stories I make myself. The narration you heard in this video was actually based on Michael Angelis which I’ve been preforming and practicing myself for just over a year now. I’m sorry but, I don’t really need a second UK Narrator for my vids.
@LesStarport It's okay. Thought I'd ask. Congratulations.
@ No worries mate. I’m not sure what there is to congratulate me over, my angelis impression isn’t perfect, accent and pitch is a bit off but still not bad considering I’m an Aussie and not a Brit. I honestly find doing Ringo Starr, he’s way easier to mimic due to being very monotone.
People worrying about AI...I just see this as experimenting. If the "creators" don't like what AI produces, they won't use it anyway.
Does this story take place in series 3?
@@calebtucker7677 That’s what I instructed the AI to write, but there are NO official links. Although, I recorded, edited and narrated it to resemble a Series 3 episode.
@ interesting
Free to adapt to rewrite
@@chavopatyfanstudios2005 I don’t mind if you wanna rewrite and adapt it.
Yesterday I got something about Thomas and Percy going to the beach with James pulling trucks of bricks and saying it was being more important but then Thomas convinced him to come, and then they all screwed around at the beach together. Bros all abandoning their jobs for that?
That sounds like something out of an April Fool's Day episode, LOL. 😂
What website did you use?
@@ReallyUsefulPinkEngine29 Toolbaz AI
@ thanks
@@LesStarporthow did you make Trainz 2019 not so laggy?
@ I have a very strong PC (8gb graphic card, 16 bit ram, ect) and I have it set to the highest setting. I can advise you ajust your settings to what suites your computer
@@LesStarport ok
For ai this is actually a decent story
I kinda wanna know what AI you used to make this story, but I also don’t wanna know what AI it was
@@WitchWerewolfEdd I’m just gonna tell you..Toolbaz AI wrote the script. I recorded, edited and Narrated it according to (I virtually didn’t get very creative with line delivery) so everything you hear is what was in the script. The chosen angles and sets were me though not the AI.
I actually kinda love this story lol
@@Mattblox8080 🤣 The only thing I like about it is the visuals, sound and editing. But still I’m glad to hear you like it.
Oh dear imagine this fandom (alongside with many others) getting ruined by AI I'm very concerned...
@@StationFilms12345 There are still plenty of fans out there that are creating original stories. I don’t see the fandom being ruined by AI any time soon.
@LesStarport key word you said "Any time soon" I prefer "ever" I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that won't happen to nfts will happen to AI
@@StationFilms12345 hopefully
This honestly feels like the plot of most HiT era episodes without the excessive time of one of those episodes. And yet it's somehow still better than most of that era
@@dragonblaster-vu8wz I agree, it’s very similar to a HiT era episode.
No the hit era gets way to much hate tbh it has alot of banger episodes like respect for Gordon
@@Jediah-s6p way to name the most talked about HiT era episode that everyone already knows is good, you gotta be able to name something that isn't just 1 good episode that everyone already knows is good, the rest of that era was some bunz. (Exceptions don't make things good)
@@zlnter9096 Thomas and the runaway car isn’t really talked about and I find it great, same for percy and the bandstand
@@Jediah-s6p 👍 2 good episodes i agree, but out of the entire era, the bad heavily outweighs the good
Never thought I'd hear the fat controller described as "wise and benevolent" but here we are
@@uhuhmwell I found that description very strange too.
Pretty sure it's "wise and benevolent".
@ Correct!
@@LesStarport I knew it!
@@tomoliver4756didn't see this until now but I fixed it
Watching it now
For anyone wondering I exported this video in the quality of 360p on purpose to boost the nostalgic feel I’m intending for it to have. Despite being a terrible story, I’m quite pleased with how the editing and filming has turned out.
how am i finding this NOW!? THIS IS AMAZING!
That's very good. SilverBand7 based his Diesel 10 performance off of Keith Scott, medium between Neil and Matt's voices.
@@DavidBContentExtravaganza3967 thank you for your comment. Out of the voices I do for diesel 10, Keith Scott is my favourite as my natural speaking voice isn’t too far of Keith’s and I can impersonate just about any character he’s voiced (the diesel 10 voices I’m able to pull of are Neil crone and Keith Scott) I probably can pull off Matt’s take, but I haven’t studied it enough.
