A Tribue to Michael Angelis

- I'm an American so one would think I wouldn't know about Michael Angelis, but I remember getting the New Friends for Thomas video as a kid and watching it for the first time. Immediately, the loud English accent was quite jarring when I was expecting Baldwin but when I got to the end of the DVD, I quite liked him. And I was confused as to why I never saw him again. That is, until I started watching Thomas on TH-cam many years later and realized that the UK had a different dub. Michael had huge shoes to fill after Ringo, but he managed to surpass them in my opinion. Here's a tribute to the longest narrator of Thomas and Friends after learning about his passing.
I grew up listening to him (alongside Ringo) narrate Thomas & Friends, but if not for Angelis' narration, I wouldn't be where I am today with my channel. I owe the success I've had to him.
Rest in peace Michael Angelis - a really useful narrator ❤️
Same! It never feels the same without him anymore X_(
RIP to the longest narrator. He’s now in heaven with George, David, and the Rev. W. Awdry
Don't forget Peter Fonda!
@@anthonymarshall6868 and willie rushton and johnny.morris too
Johnny Morris? Willie Rushton?
George was an athiest
@@LolbyLolbz They were RWS audio narrators.
I’ll miss him.
He was the voice that echoed in my childhood memories.
Yeah, same here!
Same
I’m to
me too RIP he was a good actor
NSWSteamFan mine to
I really like his James voice.
These are his best lines:
“What is this? ‘Educating Gordon day’?”
“DO YOU MIND? I’M TRYING TO S L E E P”
“W H O A R E Y O U”
“His driver applied the brakes, but Thomas couldn’t stop! ‘OHHHHH BOY!’ “
What episodes are those from?
“Then there was trouble”
"OOH AHH SPOOKY"
And “he’s fallen in the water’
@@kernowpictures2002 Don't forget James' 'Ha! Ha!' and Bertie's "...Never mind.'
Rest In Peace Mr Angelis, you’ve made us all smile, and you can’t spell angelis without angel. Fly high man, fly high.
*"Sometimes, the best travels are those we can only dream about"*
BEST LINE MICHAEL EVER SAID😭

Michael Angelis

I watched the american version when I was younger, But I'm gonna miss him
Same, he was one of the greats and one of my favorites, we're gonna miss him
I watched both lol
And now he's with George Carlin too...
@@SSBB_5m4sh that is true
@@SSBB_5m4sh yeah, At least George is no longer lonely up there
R.I.P Micheal Angelis you bloody legend, he was a big part in my childhood because I grew up with the classic series. I was so sad when I found out the news that he had passed away, his spirit shall live on forever and will be remembered for always and always.
One of the first to pay respect to him greatest narrator in thomas history
I agree
Konigsegg one/ 1 F
No disrespect, but Ringo is best
I didn’t grow up with his narration but their were times I liked his narration better than the us narrator like in scaredy engines when I was younger and whenever I watched mrathehedgehogs remakes most of them had his narration and I liked it better than the us narration in them may he Rest In Peace
I respect at him cause he is the narrator since the start of 70s
He'll be dearly missed, but not forgotten through his marvelous narration work on Thomas & Friends!
NOOOO I GROWED UP WITH MICHAEL ANGELIS AS THE NARRATOR
I grew up with him too. Damn.
Ben Klein May he Rest In Peace
me too along with ringo as well
Ikr bother!💔
The Introvert OddBall yes
Michael Angelis' voice was a huge part of my childhood because i loved listening to it in TTTE (I really didnt like the US one when I discovered it when going on YT). May he rest in peace. He'll always be remembered...
I loved the 'WHO ARE YOU??' from Rusty To The Rescue. Defo one of my fave episodes. RIP Michael Angelis and thank you for the beautiful memories :)
You mean the narrations for the "New Friends for Thomas" DVD? They're not really that bad to me.
Omfg I literally looked at this comment and it said that loool thats fucking creepy
Same here from the Philippines when i was 4 watching this
He was my childhood narrator in Thomas and Friends!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 We'll remember you in the loving memory
R.I.P Micheal Angelis (1952-2020)
George Carlin (1937-2008)
Ringo Starr (1940-present)
Michael Brandon (1945-present)
Michael Angelis (1952-2020)
Pierce Brosnan (1953-present)
Alec Baldwin (1958-present)
Micheal Angelis was my favourite narrator. He had such energy. Now he’s taken the Red Balloon to a place as beautiful as Henry’s Forest in the land beyond the horizon. May he rest in peace 😢
RIP to the most loudest and energetic narrator the show has ever had
he made my childhood a blast along with Ringo Starr and he did it for god-dame 21 years
The sound of Baa Baa Baa would’ve kept Angelis awake, but a Salty story, would send him happily to sleep.
I remember watching the Michael Angelis era of Thomas & Friends. I enjoyed his energetic style of narrating, though I always preferred Ringo Starr. May he rest in peace, and it's only a matter of time until Ringo joins him. Rest in peace, Michael Angelis.
Ringo ain't going nowhere.
Rest easy in heaven, Michael Angelis.
Can't agree more.
I couldn’t put that better.
You were better than Michael Brandon any day.
@@SodorTrain1225 I never found Brandon that bad as a narrator. However, he's not as bad as Robin Smith as the narrator or Baldwin in Season 6.
I know Smith was never narrator for the US version of the TV series (thank God), his read along narrations for the US DVDs are just shit. Most of them sound like he is not even trying because of how cringingly monotone he is.
I see. It's just... well, the worse the episodes got, the worse the narrations got. Rheneas in S10 sounds stuffed up in the smokebox.
I was positive you would do this at one point. I grew up with US Thomas, but Angelis still gets respect from me, and he will be missed.
I'm an American, too. And I am proud to be one of them.
🇺🇸 #AmericaForever
Same I grew up with the American narration (Baldwin, Carlin, and Brandon) but mad respect to the UK narrators especially Angelis. R.I.P. man😔✊
@Thomas & Friends Fan Even through the darkest of days and situations, we'd be lucky to be in a country that got us Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, the Statue of Liberty, McDonalds, American animation, Albert Einstein coming to America in the 1930's (we're glad Einstein came to the USA), NASA, and even The Washington Monument.
R.I.P. Micheal Angelis. When i got the news i immediately cried. Edit: the 15 dislikes means you dont know what a real narrator is.
🙁
He was the best narater ever rip hrd this sad news yesterday rip grat life lost
A lot of mourning, we cannot deny.
R.I.P Michael Angelis we well miss you and you never forget
i had just woke up yesterday morning and found out by a notification from BBC News
Even when he's gone he still puts a smile on all of our faces
May he Rest in peace with George, Wilbert and David
And Peter Fonda!
@@anthonymarshall6868And John Hurt (who voiced Sailor John in SLOTLT).
WHO DISLIKED THIS. MICHAEL WAS A VERY GOOD NARRATOR
Bullsh*t.
@@dr.einstein3102.....
People with no respect 😒
Some of Michael Angelis's best narration parts. He really knew what he was doing. I will really miss him :'( .
What I miss most about Michael Angelis is his lispy voice for the Fat Controller. "CHOMASH!"
I'm seriously crying right now!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
He will be greatly missed. Had tears in my eyes when I saw that he had died. Wont be the same without him :'(
He was the man of my childhood, may he Rest In Peace.
"So dirty like a proper steam engine!"
"Peasant."
In all seriousness, this fandom has suffered a great loss. Rest well, Michael. You will be dearly missed.
Ever since I came to the Thomas community 12 years after I was born, living in USA, I highly liked Michael Angelis as the narrator since I started watching the model series after Ringo Starr (acted as narrator for S1 and S2). 2020 was truly a sad time for Thomas the tank engine community when this happened. Thank you Michael Angelis for giving us laughs, entertainment, and most of all, enjoyment.
Rest in peace ;-;
He will be always be remembered.
I actually feel like crying right now, he was my childhood hero and my favourite narrator. 💔 😢
A narrator that I will always treasure forever from my childhood to this very day~
Hearing the voice of Michael in this video bring back memories when I used to watch the episodes narrated by him during my childhood (God bless him) thank you for the great memories, Michael Angelis 1952-2020
"Don't call me Dirty Percy!"
“Definitely a Coloratura!”
“I can’t possibly travel in coaches that are riddled with mice!” (Sorry if I can’t do Alicia’s voice very well)
Michael Angelis was my favourite narrator alongside Alec, George and Ringo. he had such a unique narrating voice in my opinion and always gave me a blessed feeling when i heard it. rip
Michael Angelis was, in my opinion the best narrator the show could have possibly had, his voices for characters and narration style was just so incredible, that it help build my speaking skills as a child and even now. Rest In Peace Michael Angelis. You will be missed. :'(
Just as good as George Carlin.
R.I.P Micheal Angelis
Though he may be no longer with us, His noble work still lives on to this day
He will be missed
I may be American, but I prefer his narration of "Rusty to the Rescue". He really made the diesels sound intimidating.
Michael Angelis was my favourite narrator. The voices he gave to each character felt like how they would talk if trains really did have faces. And he always put the right emotion into the scene. Along with Michael Brandon. He didn't overdo it like Alac Baldwin who always sounded like he looking for an Oscar. Nor was he too soft like George Carlin and especially Ringo Starr. May he rest in peace 🙏
I’m 17 and still love this show because I grew up with it. Knowing that we’ve lost him is almost making me cry. I remember I used to watch the dvds with his narration all the time when I was younger
This is so sad. I grew up listening to his narrations.
It really doesn't feel real. I grew up listening to this guy, and, while in recent years i have favoured the US dub more, he was still a wonderful narrator. My favourite line from him is from Haunted Henry - Oh look, Henry's spooked! - it has so much more power than the US Dub.
He is really good at voicing the fat controller
As an American, I didn't grow up with Angelis, but when I discovered him on TH-cam, I was amazed at how enthusiastic his narration was. He gave his all in every episode, and you can really tell how much fun he was having. He will be missed by everyone in the Thomas fanbase.
R. I. P. Michael Angelis (1944-2020), thanks heaps for an awesome childhood and the show I loved watching when I was very young 😢🙏
From Australia 🇦🇺
I grew up with the US narrator, but I have to give credit to Michael for doing so many roles at once.
That talent will surly be missed.
(Moment of silence).
2020 is such a great year!
*cough cough* SARCASM
* Said never no one
Loved the way Angelis narrated. I remember my dad used to laugh at how he voiced Duncan said "It's as tame a pet rabbit" and Gordon's "Uh-uuuuh" before the avalance fell on him in "Snow".
The main voice in my childhood, what a legend.
Rest In Peace Mr. Angelis, you were a great narrator to Thomas and Friends. Very sad to see you go.
He may long gone, but atleast he happily retired in the afterlife and met the creator who made Thomas and friends franchise before he passed away.
RIP the legend actor, Michael Angelis.
The Voice of a Man, That Narrated exciting Stories and Adventures, of the Engine's of Sodor.
Rest in Peace, Micheal Angelis.
I never thought the sound was given by the same person, it so amazing RIP to great artist Michael Angelis
He was my childhood too, I still love his voice :(
As someone who grew up watching the British version of TTTE Hearing that the narrator i liked the most died has left me absolutely gutted.
This is easily the most heartbreaking bit of news i’ve heard all year.
He played a large part of my childhood. I hope he rests well.
*we’ve lost so many people this year! It’s the sadist year ever!*
*first movie stars*
*then rick may*
*and now him* 😭
Thank you for showing this splendid tribute of our best narrator.
Man he was amazing! RIP Michael.
S7 James though. We'll miss him so much..
RIP Michael Angelis.
If 2020 was a person, I'd disown them.
This man ain't dead, he's just hiding in Sodor.
Why is 2020 so damn malicious?!
Godspeed,Mr. Angelis. You'll always have trains (and humans!) behind your back.
i wouldn't also have learned english thanks to him
may he rest in peace
Michael Angleis
(1952-2020
5 minutes of absolutely gut-busting lines spoken by an absolute legend. We will miss you Michael :(
I was first viewer. I miss Michael. Love his narration and his acting. Especially his voice in Season 6 for Alicia Botti. Hilarious.
Let him rest in peace.
👏😔
So long Michael, thank you for providing the voice of my childhood.
I actually went through the 5 stages of grief when I heard about this, I was 12 1/2 years old. He was a huge part of my childhood, so I rewatched Calling All Engines with Micheal Angelis’ narration.
this year just keeps getting better
It is very sad that he passed. Rip Michael Angelis 1952-2020
R.I.P Michael Angelis 🙏
It's nice to see that you did this and an American liked his narration. For me Micheal is the best narrator and was the reason for why I stuck with the show even when I knew it wasn't good he is my childhood hero and I hope he's in a better place now. rip the longest running narrator for thomas
Was such a massive part of my childhood. His energy and enthusiasm in his narration was absolutely outstanding. Rest In Peace Michael, we will miss you very much mate.
My favorite episode he did was Thomas the Jet Engine, to use the uk title, but he had so many good lines. I especially love the slight echo effect when Thomas says "The Ghost Engine is after me!"
I still have clear memories of these moments, especially with sir topham hatts many "bothers"! May he rest in peace, the thomas community will not forget you!
I think it was really sweet how you put "The red balloon" in the backround. It's a sweet song. Michael will always be remembered, not for his contribution to the franchise, but to our childhoods. I'm american, but I grew up with his rendition of "New friends for Thomas". He will forever be missed.
I'm italian there wasn't any TV channel that put on Thomas and Friends, so my mother downloaded episodes of the series in the UK version, and hearing the narrator made me always happy, I learned a good part of my english with this cartoon, and all the episodes were with him as the narrator, obviously I haven't been seeing the series for a long time, but sometimes I spend a few minutes watching some episodes I used to watch, when I heard about his death, I realized the big role he had in my childhood.
He'll be missed by many, others won't remember, but he certainly will be honored by anyone who loves the series.
RIP Michael Angelis
Michael Angelis is no doubt one of the people that help bring thomas to popularity.
This voice and this man will always bring me back to my childhood, may he rest in peace.
Even though George Carlin was my favorite narrator there's no denying I enjoyed his narration (even in season 8-16)
Carlin was always my favorite narrator when it comes to Thomas and Friends.
I hope I missed him so much.
R.I.P.
Personally speaking outside of New friends for thomas I didn't have much experience with Angelis growing up but I must admit he has a great narration style he will be missed also in my opinion he was the best narrator for Percy and James.
He died from Heart Attack and He's in Heaven with George Carlin that also died from Heart Attack too.
David Mitton is also in Heaven, and so are Peter Fonda, and Wilbert Awdry.
George Carlin was an athiest meaning he didnt believe in God
David Mitton, Peter Fonda, Rev W Awdry and now Michael Angelis are all in heaven toghether? R I P them all and may your work be remembered forever! 😢😢😭
@@1v1_Empire including George Carlin.
@@anasiacameronelijahedcpndc4324 he was an atheist do he doesn't believe in God or heaven (probably)
very heartbreaking news, may he rest in his soul
I grew up with the US Dub, but Angelis’s narrations were fantastic. His enthusiasm and talent for voices made the show a joy to watch. He’ll always be missed (R.I.P.)
This is really sad when I was growing up TTTE was my favorite show on tv and a huge part of my childhood. TTTE was where my own love for narration and storytelling begin and what really sparked my imagination and a lot of that had to do with Michael Angelis' voice it was so iconic and memorable and when you listened to him telling the story of another TTTE episode it actually felt like you were being told a story and it gripped your attention in a vice-like grip and didn't release it until the ending credits. In my mind, he will always be my favorite narrator of all time. May he rest in peace and forever remain in our hearts.
I may not be from the UK but I will miss this man RIP🙏🏼
Don't realise how much of my Childhood he was until recent years. Rest easy sir, it sure was a pleasure
He has left a great nostalgic legacy for both children and adults today. RIP.
I remember getting the New Friends for Thomas video back in 2004. I was like 5 or 6. When I popped the video in I was surprised to hear someone else telling the story other than Starr, Carlin, or Baldwin. It made me think this video was made for a special occasion. Little did I know the narrator of that video has had much more affiliation with Thomas than any other narrator on the show.
Thank you Angelis. May your legacy be remembered by many Thomas fans. Mainly those in the UK.
Amazing tribute to Michael Angelis, he will always be part of my childhood.
Thank you for making this video really makes me think back to my child heard it's really nesaljick
His work will never be forgotten, me and my brothers grow up watching Thomas and friends.may the legend rest in peace
Michael Angelis’ narrations of Toad Stands By and Thomas and The Jet Engine helped them become some of my favorites.
I grew up with George Carlin’s, but I liked Michael Angelis just as much. It’s funny how I wouldn’t even have know about his narrations if I hadn’t watched the VHS “New Friends For Thomas”. I loved his narrations of those stories and it made me want to hear more of him!
R.I.P. Michael Angelis
RIP Michael Angelis, always a dedicated fan of his narrations. He was a truly unrivalled narrator given how many voices he could do. We'll never forget you, may you rest in peace. 🇬🇧🙏🇺🇸
Michael Angelis will always be remembered by the Old Guard. I grew up with Seasons 4 and 5, which had some of his best narration. Rest in peace old friend.
I’m so sad to hear he’s gone. Like you, hearing Michael on the New Friends for Thomas tape when it first came out in 2004 was certainly a big change when my 11 year old self popped in the tape, but towards the end, his voice grew on me. I was surprised to hear him suddenly disappear on the Steamies vs Diesels tape when it came out, but I instantly recognized his voice again when I listened to the original UK narrations (and let me tell you, before hearing more of the UK narrations, I had no idea Thomas was a British show; I know, I’m gonna sound American for saying that 😅) and grew attached to it. This was a great tribute. I’ll forever miss him.
Rest in peace, thank you for being a large part of my childhood with Thomas!
we’re gonna miss this legendary narrator, god bless this great man
Rest In Peace Michael. He was an AWESOME narrator for Thomas & Friends!
He was my favourite one. I’ll miss him dearly :(
Having been born in the 90's I only watched a few season 1 & 2 episodes through re-runs, seasons 3 to 5 were what I mostly watched, also some 6-7 episodes as they aired. Michael Angelis will always be the narrator I remember the most! He will be missed for me, even though I can always re-watch his narrations!
