While I'm still on hiatus from making TTTE narration redubs (and will be until further notice), I still felt the urge to want to make a TMV (Thomas music video) featuring one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands since childhood.
If this goes well, I might do more TMVs featuring Chicago.
I own nothing in the video.
As many of you know, George Carlin is my favorite TTTE narrator. And since Thomas has been my #1 favorite character since childhood (only rivaled by a small green engine with red stripes for a few years), I figured it'd be a fun experiment to compile the number of times throughout Carlin's tenure in which he mentions either "Thomas" or "Thomas the Tank Engine".
If this video does well, I might do a follow-up to this video.
I own nothing in the video.
Thomas, the little blue engine, is cheeky to Gordon once too often. So the big blue engine decides to give Thomas a lesson he won't forget.

Hi everyone,
Here's a full upload of the intro and outro I used for my narration redubs of Thomas the Tank Engine between September 2021 and January 2023.
Unfortunately, some of my narration redubs have been blocked worldwide due to copyright, but until that gets resolved, you can check them out here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qvLG6r-LCZc-nvI3Th68mQ5MlybCDTB6z97_c2Wl990/edit?pli=1#gid=196309663
Also, I posted them all to my Odysee account, which you can find here: odysee.com/@MikeNicholsonThomas:c
The music that I used was from the Springfield Heights Institute Podcast. All the episodes have been archived, and you can find them here: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLuh9grxYjcOERUhCR3gRqGcIFrDWtUNZh
So you're probably wondering, where does the future hold for my narration redubs? My honest answer at this point is, I don't know. We shall see what happens moving forward.
In the meantime, I hope y'all stay tuned for Railway Series Saturday, beginning SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10TH. Mark your calendars, and subscribe if you haven't already.
Thank you for reading, and I'll see y'all in February!

Earlier this month, I had recorded all 26 books of the Reverend W. Awdry's Railway Series as narrated by Bruce Alexander, recorded between 2022 and 2023. And so, for my present to you, I have shared a link to all 26 books as read by Bruce, recorded by me.
Feel free to use these in your videos. Credit isn't necessary, but appreciated.

While this isn't the most accurate recreation of the 1984 adaptation, I am pleased with how it turned out.

I just hope Mattel doesn't take this down or block this...
A fun little video I made in which Michael Rosen talks about the narrators of Thomas & Friends, specifically the OG 7: Ringo Starr, George Carlin, Michael Angelis, Alec Baldwin, Michael Brandon, Pierce Brosnan, and Mark Moraghan. Plus some bonus content toward the end!
I do have another video planned in the works that's somewhat related to this, so be on the lookout for that when it comes out. I will say that it's been a passion project of mine that I wanted to do for a while...
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing in the video.
After watching @genosamuel2.1 (Geno Samuel)'s ongoing "Chris Chan: A Comprehensive History" docuseries and learning that he had a fiverr account for people to request him to read stuff, I had a random thought: What if someone paid this guy to read a Railway Series story?
So in January 2023, I had Geno read the story of Thomas and Gordon from the book, Thomas the Tank Engine. And that's how this video came about.

Been on an ALF binge last year, and got inspired by an Ed Edd n Eddy video of Ed singing "Your Love" by The Outfield to make this video.
Hope y'all enjoy.
On November 20th, 1973, A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving made its premiere on CBS. Since then, it has gone down in history as part of the Holy Trinity of Peanuts Holiday Specials, along with A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) and It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! (1966)
In 2003, VH1 did an American take on the BBC's "I Love the 70s". One of the subjects they covered in 1973 was A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.
Several celebrities gave their thoughts on this special, including (in order of appearance): actor/comedian Jim Gaffigan, Constance Marie ("George Lopez"), Hal Sparks ("Queer as Folk"), Michael Ian Black ("Ed"), Maggie Wheeler ("Friends"), Colin Mochrie ("Whose Line Is It Anyway?"), George Lopez, comedian Carol Leifer, Lisa Marie Presley and Liz Phair.

Hadn't thought about doing a pony-related video again after 2019, but upon watching a number of Michael Rosen videos in which he describes different works, I decided to try one of these myself.
A lot of these range from first impressions to personal opinions, with even a joke or two here and there.
Includes all nine seasons of Friendship is Magic, the 2017 movie, and even some Equestria Girls, because why not?

Earlier this year, I made a mashup of "Levitating" by Dua Lipa with the Thomas the Tank Engine theme from 1984. I had a music video planned, but didn't get very far with it.
I may update this later on down the road, we'll see. In the meantime, this video will give you an idea of what the MV could have been, combining footage from the model seasons (mostly Season 1), the live-action video for "Levitating", and the animated anime-esque video.
Here's the full mashup in question should you wish to hear it: drive.google.com/file/d/1isf8KSLwwMEUqxNQOtiUDy1Hat9rpUxI/view?usp=sharing

Upon viewing the VHS releases, I noticed there were two versions of the VHS for Becky Makes a Wish. One had the Schemer Presents short, How to Get Something Done, playing before the main feature; the other (the official release) had How to Clean Up Your Room/How to Make Your Bed playing after the premiere. So I thought, why not combine the two releases into one?
So there ya go. That's pretty much the story in a nutshell.
Hope y'all enjoy! :)

After the success of my Blinding Lights TMV featuring Duck, I decided to do one of these each year, around the same time. This time, featuring the Dockyard Diesel himself - Salty!
"Wellerman" is a sea ballad from New Zealand, originally written in the mid-19th century. In early 2021, a cover by Scottish singer Nathan Evans became a viral hit on the social media site TikTok, popularized as a sea shanty despite more accurately described as a ballad. A remix by Evans, 220 Kid and Billen Ted was released in early 2021, becoming a #1 hit in the UK in March of that year.

ORIGINAL UPLOAD DATE: November 6, 2008
In 2008, two Simpsons fans named Josef and John made a short-lived podcast that planned to discuss each episode of The Simpsons. While the podcast itself is sadly no longer available, I recently rediscovered all four audio files of the podcast in an old flash drive from years ago.
I hope you guys enjoy.
