I wonder how long it will take untill hartman and spum feuding becomes too much for putain and vald decides to have them self to sent prision. Also will a homegrown russian themepark happen. If so do you like the idea of valdir putian attending the grand opening and dieing in a roller coaster derailment. Elimaitng putian will hoply butterfly the ukraine invaison. If you want to get ride of putain to prevent the war do you like hte death by rollercoaster or would you prefer that putain suffer a differnet accident
 
Alright, so was discussing this in PM with OldNavy, and he said I could post it to get opinions on it!. ITTL, it is May 2009, exactly a year before the 65th anniversary of The Railway Series which, for those who do not know, is the book series Thomas the Tank Engine is based on. In OTL, as well as this one, the series started in 1945.

Last month, OldNavy made a post saying Disney and BrittAlcrofft were having trouble making a new Thomas movie, and the reason is that it would be too much effort to make both an American version, and an international version, of a film. My idea is a film that will not need two full versions, and will only need different VAs, like the show does OTL, a version OTL's The Adventure Begins.

The Adventure Begins, a 45 minute special released in 2015 to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the franchise, and which is up on YT by the way, from the offical Thomas and Friends channel, is a simply a retelling of the first two books, The Three Railway Engine and Thomas the Tank Engine/The first 7 episodes of the OG show.

The 45 minute special kinda breezed thru the first book, which was the story about Edward pushing Gordon, and the two stories about Henry and the Tunnel, and more focused on Thomas' book, which are the stories where he is pulled by the express, leaves a train behind, is pushed down the hill by trucks, and rescues James from a crash.

In my opinion, a full fledged movie would be able to give proper focus to both books, and would be a great way to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the franchise ITTL, as well as a way to solve the issue of needing 2 versions of the movie ITTL.

Sorry for the long post, just wanted to fully explain the idea, what do you guys think?
Is there anyone who dislikes this idea, or feels it needs changes?

For the 2009-10 season, the Mighty Ducks of San Diego will update their primary logo with a more streamlined color scheme, along with adding a new "SD" shoulder patch.
Icethetics; May 24, 2009

The only real change is that black has been phased out of the Ducks' color scheme. Other than that, the logo will stay the same.​

The new look is based on a concept submitted to Icethetics IOTL by Matt Marczel.

However, there are two exceptions ITTL. Firstly, along with the teal pants you see above, there's also the option of purple pants.
The other exception is the shoulder patch. ITTL, this is what you'll see on the shoulders:

Would a full length movie need human characters to help the plot?
Yes and no.

It wouldn't need them to the same scale that TATMR used them OTL, but having workmen, drivers, firemen, other railway staff, and Sir Topham Hatt, of course, is needed to build the realism. Part of what made the early seasons so special is that, aside from the engines having faces, it was just like any other real railway.

Due to this, railway staff interacting with the engines in a must, in my opinion, but the humans do not need to be front and center. Sit Topham would be fairly important, as he is controller, and the man in charge, but even he takes a back seat to the engines sometimes. That is why I was saying, aside from voice actor and terminology differences, you would not need 2 versions of the movie. If Britt wants to throw in a Shining Time Station reference, one of the conductors on the railway can say something about possibly transfering to America at some point, possibly alluding to them being Mr. Conductor, but that is not needed.
 
Boy, you do not get how Image Comics works, do ya?
To be fair, Dark Horse and IDW are creator-driven publishers, and in the case of Dark Horse, Turner and Paramount had hands in adapting Duckman and The Mask as animated TV shows IOTL. Meanwhile, Cartoon Network turned Firebreather, an Image Comic, into an animated movie IOTL.

I think the connection of Image Comics ITTL is warranted, regardless of Nick and CN swapping originals.

Right.

But what do you think of the schedule @TheFaultsofAlts?
