Saturating the youth with CGI deadness



Once upon a time, not too long ago, the children's show "Thomas & Friends" was live action.  Extremely detailed miniature sets and model trains.  The show was a HUGE hit with kids for years.  Seeing real models and elaborate villages set kid's imaginations wild with adventure.  Flash forward to today...


Dead and lifeless.  My boy, who was a big fan of the show can't watch these.  He keeps telling me where the real ones are.  and NO I haven't indoctrinated him in any way. These new shows just suck.  They're boring to look at.  What made the show unique from any other kids show has been wiped clean with CGI.
Originality is dead kids.  Thomas killed it, Sorry.
