Thomas the Tank Engine is BAD?????

What is the color of the sky on that professor’s world, I’d like to know.

Thomas and his friends are portrayed as little children who get into trouble and then find redemption. Its not a class warfare vignette. Its little morality plays that children can relate to. BTW, my little ones outgrew Thomas pretty quickly, preferring Veggie Tales or Bob the Builder and the ever popular Bugs Bunny.

My kids preferred Road Runner. Sometimes violence is the answer.
