I say, I'm speechless. You never fail to amaze me. You captured the charm of the original animation style and the narration by Stuart sounded really good.
I was wondering when someone would have a go at Ivor around here! Absolutely lovely little tribute to a very underrated series. And Stuart is very suited to being a storyteller here, hats off to him as well! Stopmotion is a oddity nowadays in this community, but IVOR STYLE stopmotion? Unheard of! I need more! If this is a test, I can't wait to see what comes next!
Thanks so much! I thought the same; nobody writes or films anything with Ivor, and 100% stop motion videos are rare in this community still! Had to put that right. Animating paper on such a small scale was a real challenge, but one I'm willing to have another go at in the future. Stuart was the first port of call for the job, I knew he'd pull it off.
Well that was just lovely, totally in keeping with the spirit of the original programme. It really feels like a story they would’ve done. Great job on the animation, I particularly loved Jones’ gestures. Fantastic narration too!
this video brought back a lot of fond memories when they used to re run episodes of ivor the engine on telivision. it's a lovely piece of animation keep up the good work
The amount of precision and skill that made this animation possible is amazing! Thank you for taking the time to animate this wonderful piece of artwork and sharing it with us all! Cheers mate ! :)
Spectacular work! I love the style of Postage's work and you've captured the simple beauty of his style very well, the voice acting was also very solid. Lovely!
This is actually astonishing. Stop motion can bed a long and tedious process, but is extremely rewarding at the end! This was really nostalgic and you replicated the show perfectly!
That was amazing. It looked exactly like the original. It brought back so many memories. The voices were great as were the backgrounds. I wish you’d had the little dragon in but it was still gorgeous.
Thank you so much! I'd love to do more and perhaps a full episode in future when I get time as this was very fun to do. I agree, must feature Idris and the other dragons!
Ivor the Engine is such a classic, and likewise was this episode! I've got Ivor the Engine: The First Story in colour as a book, plus the whole coloured series on DVD. Keep up the good work! :)
Well considering the fact that the people who made the original could make about 120 frames a day while other animations took longer and made less frames in a day.
I've never seen Ivor but this is an amazing piece of stop motion animation. Solid Job Mate. I have no doubt this just as good as the original series. Very much on Par with Project Tiger Moth match Season 5 of Thomas. :)
This was truly great Max - such a welcome change from the usual Thomas content. Well done. ''Now I'll surprise you. Listen...'' I was in London this very morning. I went to 149 Tottenham Court Road for the first time ever. I've finally had a one-to-one with a representative of the official Team Thomas, and it truly looks like a long-held primary dream in my life is finally on course to becoming a reality. I'll keep further details under wraps for now, except I have asked them for a follow-up meeting. Having seen this beforehand, if there was any Thomas fan out there that I wanted to share my personally-rewarding news with, I chose it to be you. Wish me luck. Samuel F.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the change. As for your meeting, that sounds very interesting! I'm eager to know more. I've met some of the production team in the past and I wish you the best of luck with whatever it is you're doing!
I first watched Ivor the Engine some 50 odd years ago ! Could never forget the little dragon. 😁 He was of course light grey back then.... (before color tv). ♡♡♡♡♡♡💛💟❤💜💙💚
Absolutely fantastic!!! Very very well done!! Please please do more! Love Ivor the engine! Love the voice acting as well! I may have some ideas for some stories :)
Wow that was fantastic All look exactly the same as it originally created by Oliver postgate and Peter Fermin oh you just took me back to my childhood when I had it on VHS

Holy cow, this is amazing!! As charming as the original! Stuart does a smashing job narrating it. Just wonderful!!
Thanks so much!
Nice

What does he mean by canon?
@@HaydnMillerUK it means a part of the original universe
@@HaydnMillerUK for a sec i though you where my friend cuz my bff name is hayden miller, lol
2:30 made me chuckle
This is too perfect. It's been a while since I've seen this atmospheric little corner of Wales. Stuart captured the characters voices perfectly.
A place that's heartwarming to revisit. Thanks!
Oh the nostalgia, it’s so amazing to see ivor up and running again. 😁
Thank you!
Someone could easily mistake this for a real Ivor episode
Great work!
That was wonderfully nostalgic - thank you very much for such a high quality production.
Really appreciated 😊
I was not expecting this..! A fine piece of work! I like how faithful it is to Oliver Postgate. I hope you do more like this Max.
Thanks Jamie! That's the aim!
"You'll bruise my nose one of these days!"
Ha, just like the classic series! Absolutely brilliant!
Well that was just lovely, totally in keeping with the spirit of the original programme. It really feels like a story they would’ve done. Great job on the animation, I particularly loved Jones’ gestures. Fantastic narration too!

Thank you so much!
@@Terrier55Stepney Your welcome.
This is wonderful Max! Stuart did an excellent job as narrator! :D
Thanks Kameron!
Damn, this feels like an Ivor reboot episode.
Gooood! Thank you.
Terrier55Stepney ur welcome my good man.
That was a beautiful animation! It looked just like the real thing!
I didn't know you were an Ivor the Engine fan too.
Thank you! I appreciate any show like this! Ivor's brilliant.
@@Terrier55Stepney Aye. I think Ivor should have some sort of revival, but not like how the rest has been portrayed, if you know what I mean.
The amount of precision and skill that made this animation possible is amazing! Thank you for taking the time to animate this wonderful piece of artwork and sharing it with us all! Cheers mate ! :)
Thank you very much for appreciating it! :) I'll have to make more haha.
This was fantastic Max, very nicely done - you're correct, Ivor doesn't receive as much love as Thomas sadly, but you've done it proud here!
Thanks very much! Such an unspoilt show.
Woah! Brings back memories from when I was little and I used to sit in front of the telly and watch Ivor on yt. Well done!
I wish I'd grown up knowing Ivor more! Thanks.
@@Terrier55Stepney It was actually my dad who brought me into Ivor. I'm actually 13 at the moment and my sister was sick of hearing it for a bit. 😂
@@therailwaysgoblin That's so sweet!!
Spectacular work! I love the style of Postage's work and you've captured the simple beauty of his style very well, the voice acting was also very solid. Lovely!
Outstanding piece of work
Thank you!
We need more of this

Thanks!
Feels good to have ivor back sooo underrated and that was an excellent taster
I agree! Thanks.
That was a treat to watch! You got it pretty spot on to the original! I would love to see more in the future :)
This is good

I'm very much in love with this, it's brilliant!
Thanks Haydn!! Happy birthday! 🎂 This was totally planned.
I love Ivor
The animation is too perfect, keep up the good work
This test looks like it's a success. Well done dude!
Thanks so much!
Amazing! I felt like I was watching a lost episode of the show.
Thanks so much!
This is incredible. Well done.
Thanks!
Beautiful stop-motion! Makes me want to have a go at something 2-D now!
Thanks mate! It's a different challenge to 3d stop motion animation all together I'm sure!
Wait, top left hand corner of wales?
That's near the Tallylyn! Ivor might get to see the smol engines!
Smol boi meets smaller bois.
And the Ffestiniog engines, too! He must see them a lot. I think it would have been nice if he had a face, and actually spoke
You never fail to amaze me great work!
Thanks so much!
Wow, this is amazing. Very faithful to the original.
That was incredible, and very sweet. I can't imagine the amount of time this must've taken to put together.
About 3 or 4 days work!! Thank you so much.
Wow, that's quite impressive for stop motion, and you're welcome.
Well considering the fact that the people who made the original could make about 120 frames a day while other animations took longer and made less frames in a day.
Wow I never seen anybody do something like this great job hope you make something like this again really amazing work

Impressive mate, if Oliver Postage & Peter Firmin see this, they would be very happy.
This looks like an actual episode of Ivor the Engine
That's the aim! Thanks so much!
Wow! That looks so good!
Thanks!
This is gold
New recommended character for Ivor: Robinson
Maintenance Diesel (BR Class 01)
Can be grumpy but sensible.
Absolutely fantastic!!! Very very well done!! Please please do more! Love Ivor the engine! Love the voice acting as well! I may have some ideas for some stories :)
Thanks so much! I guess I've got to make more now! :D Always happy to hear ideas.
I’m Speechless
Thanks!

YAY, IVOR'S BACK!
Poop.
Really well done Max. Must have taken a lot of time and patience.
Cheers Ashley! Yeah it's an absolute pain doing animation like this sometimes!
Very well done, it'd be neat to see some new Ivor stories.
Thanks! I agree.
I weirdly love how it’s different from Thomas because Ivor doesn’t like getting a paint job, and it kinda makes sense.

not bad
I've seen the original stories
I even have a book of the original 4 stories
Nice!
I’ve got the full series on dvd it is good
Very nice!
Very nice work 👌💯
Brilliant
Thanks!

You know Ivor Could Use Another Engine it seems, perhaps its time to introduce another engine
Amazing
ooooo that's good
Thanks!
Perfect
Goodness me!
U know what could be cool if ivor helped built an expansion to the tallyflin railway or unless it south but that could be cool

The paper cutouts are from the original show, and the sounds are Stuart voice acting!
@@Terrier55Stepney I see. But why does he have a three tone whistle in the first place?

nice one

Where did you find this lost episode?
Very Good Animation Max
Just Like The Original
Thank you!
I new this was inevitable
You predicted this well then!
Cool
How long did the Animation, Story Writing and Editing take to produce this underrated footage?
All of this took about 3/4 days.
how did you make this like how did you get the Ivor model and teh backgrounds?
Some artwork was sourced from the original episodes, some was from the book The Art of Smallfilms, and edited to suit.
Nice, where’d you get the piano theme from?
You did good bringing ivory back to life, but his color looks blue not green.
new animation
