Does the real Thomas actually even count as stop motion? I don’t recall a single frame-by-frame in that entire show.

It was more like a narration over a model train set

Narration by Ringo Starr, no less!

Which sounds like the most random narration by a celebrity, until you realize that Leonard Nemoy did narration for a video game where you use a microphone to talk to a fish.

No, I'm not making a joke. That's real. That happened.

Buy another Dreamcast.

It's live-action with model trains on sets, with narration over it. No stop-motion involved.

1946 is also acceptable

That first Thomas is what's unsettling.

You weren't kidding...

Only Ringo narration

Unsettling stop motipn? May I introduce to you, The Adventures of Gumby, from the 1970s.

Show is like nightmare fuel if you take everything at face value.

Bottom looks least unsettling.
