    I want to clear up some information I got wrong in the Production History section of this. At 3:10 I stated HiT went with Nitrogen Studios over Stardust, but that's not exactly accurate. Within the last few days Dino Athanassiou himself has been posting behind-the-scenes photos from Season 12 on his Instagram and spoke a bit about the production.
    Stardust was never in the cards to fully animate the series, and it was Dino himself who recommended Nitrogen Studios to HiT as he had worked with them before. Stardust was always just involved in the pre-production of the season, and their time with Thomas ended when the show went full CGI and thus weren't needed anymore.
    Keep in mind we were working with limited information on the season when the video was written. My apologies for that! You can read more on Dino's Instagram here: instagram.com/dino.athanassiou/

      Goodbye Model Series we will miss you, for even bad model seasons still at least had models. To this day while I'm running my HO scale Thomas models at model train shows I will encounter more people than not what will say the model series (HIT included) was way better than CGI. Even if the CGI were to stand the test of time in visuals, story telling and what not it will never beat the u ique feel of the model series. As a modeler myself I always have a wonderful time going back and seeing all of the little details put into the world for ideas for my very own. Its a testament to the talent of the people that came before and give me something to aspire to. While CGI does allow for more things to happen in the show it won't hold a candle to cozy feeling of watching the make believe world of the model series.

      Exactly. Shoutout to execrable stuff such as "Time for a Story" in the next season alone, in which books are transported in an open rail truck exposed to the elements, careen off a "moving train" into a field (in northwestern England - one of the wettest parts of an already rain-drenched country - where that kind of field would be a permanent quagmire easily destroying any paper it touches) while somehow remaining readable and intact, and Thomas climactically fulfils a "problem-solving" educational mandate by chipperly inviting a group of children to sit in said desolate, rain-sodden field to read the miraculously-preserved books as if that were some form of viable solution. The fact that rhyming "time" with "time" is the least of the episode's issues unfortunately suggests that Trampy's probably set to be resurrected from the dead and hauled back out of drydock much more frequently in the near future.

Sadly, this was nonetheless a higher threshold than my own, given my exasperation with having to sit through three scenes with virtually identical narrative functions and inanely copy-pasted rhyming dialogue (although I can, at least, praise Proteus that the logging locos didn't abruptly appear solely to bloat the already-excruciatingly-extended runtime further with stereotypical "twins-speak-in-tandem" dialogue and nine repetitions of "that's right", unlike certain other episodes that season).

      I was about to write my comment about this, when I was a kid I would just watch Thomas on whatever it was on back when we lived in a pub. I'd go to the bar, usually in the morning with my cereal, and watch whatever Thomas episode was on that day. As soon as I saw the Season 12 intro, and got jumpscared by the CGI Thomas face, I noped the hell out of there. CGI Thomas has left a bad taste in my mouth ever since no matter how much I hear people like Nic praising it. It never did and is never going to look as good as Seasons 1-11 and I think changing my mind on that would literally require rewiring how my brain works. I liked the fact people were animated now, but I wish that was ALL they changed, and the engines' faces were left alone. (To be clear, this isn't me saying the writing style should've stuck, it's hard to watch HiT era Thomas, ESPECIALLY Season 12 footage, without cringing, but there was nothing wrong with the visuals, I never understood why there was any need for change. I still don't.)

    This season came out the same year Avatar ended, and it was in stark contrast to how the full model series went out with The Great Discovery. One thing to note is how the returnees were mostly light-engine in their appearances, a topic you previously brought up in the S10 retrospective.
    Also, I honestly didn't expect Trampy to show up, but his rant was hilarious. Can't wait to see how you'll celebrate 100K subs!

    Toby being the MVP pick of the season definitely caught me off-guard, but I think the way Tug framed it helped explain it pretty well. It's cool that they gave him some unique worldbuilding this season with the Sodor Tramways + Flora that could only really work for his character. I'm surprised that Tug didn't mention Toby getting new brass models for this season, though, neither during the production segment nor after giving him MVP.
    I will say that the shot of James leaving Knapford at 4:39 shows one of the biggest benefits of the added CGI IMO. The crowds of people moving around on the platforms make Sodor look more busy and full of life than the still wooden figures.

    Worst: Duncan and the Hot Air Balloon (Percy and the Bandstand DVD) and Push Me, Pull You (Team Up With Thomas)
    Sum Up: Saved You (Railway Friends)
    Tug's Favorite (or in this case, the one he tolerated the most): James Works it Out (Team Up with Thomas)
    (EDIT: I failed to mention this, but Gordon Takes a Shortcut was also mentioned, and like Saved You, it’s on the Railway Friends DVD)

    Man, I remember being here all the way back in 2017ish or so, always thinking about when we'd discuss season 12, and now we've finally made it, here's to many more years, gang

    Really I think Brosnan's narration style fit the HIT era, he sounded gentler and more playful and I think it reflected those episodes better. I actually wouldn't have minded him for Season 12 and maybe even some of the earlier full-model seasons. It was interesting hearing Angelis and Brandon trying to do proper voice acting inflections rather than their usual narration style this season however, something Brandon would get to try more fully with Diesel in the CGI seasons.

Me after watching this ''sighs in disappointment irritation'' i will say mountain marvel is my fav episode and where Toby discovers the sign for the Sodor Tramway which has potential.

    I'm not lying, one of my earliest memories is me being 3 when season 12 came out, sitting in front of the tv waiting for thomas to come on, first being slightly confused at the engine roll call being played in the intro, and then being much more confused when I saw the CGI faces, and not being able to tell if my eyes were deceiving me or not due to the constant switiching between cgi and model faces in these episodes. Certainly a strange experience. Even as a HiT defender, I never visit episodes from here, and ive been excited for this since the S1 retrospective came out. Amazing vid

    Funnily enough, I finally decided to watch the entire season around mid-2020 (after Australia aired all of S24 in under a few weeks), and boy did I regret it.
    6:17-6:28 - I honestly didn’t think you would mention Permane and Eves, but thank you very much for doing so.
    34:13 - this entire Trampy segment! 😂

    I don't know if someone already commented this or not, so I apologize if somebody else brought this up. There is something wholesome in Toby's Special Surprise
    It's this scene:
    "But Toby, you are special."
    "But only when I'm really useful, I know that now."
    "You've always been special. You're the oldest steam tram on Sodor!"
    This scene just makes the episode just a little bit better. Still not a great episode, especially for season 12, but it is nice to see some wholesomeness between Toby and Topham.

      I think it's because it's overshadowed by the awkward pauses between the dialogue in that scene.

    I remember Season 12 being one of the first seasons I saw as it premiered on PBS kids. I always found it intriguing how the faces were now moving. This video really helped reveal how flawed this season really is.
