Hey everyone. Just a quick message. While I know a lot of you enjoy the recreations of O'Donnell and Campbell's legendary work for TTTE. I'd also really appreciate if you'd take a look at music I've written too. I'm looking to experiment and expand as a composer to test my range and ideas, the Thomas stuff is nostalgic and everything but the original works is what I really enjoy to work with. Still on the 80s wave at the moment as there are some sounds I still want to tackle. Here’s a playlist of all the 80s and 90s stuff. I’ve arranged them similar to how they are on SoundCloud. Enjoy! ru-vid.com/group/PLMtRClgemu18WeuhMuxWRmeKj3NlT3-FP
@John Flores Hi John. Don't Worry. It Wasn't Mattel Fault. Thomas was alive he was first appeared in 1945. But i remembered back in 2007 since i was little.
Just 1 of many reasons James is my favorite character. It's not just how I relate to him, it's not just the bright red livery, but it's also the fact his themes are absolutely awesome. Well done on the recreations! I also prefer these over the Jazzy version too but the Jazz version still rocks
I like James because he's Red, which is my favorite color. In one episode of my short series, James would be gold and a certain red liquid would splash all over him. It's not exactly James In A Mess 2, But he would be back to his normal self again at the end. When he hits the tanker, the theme that plays is from the end of "The Final Friday" (1993) when a certain glove pops up from under the ground.
"James is cross!" snickered the Spiteful Brakevan. "We'll try to make him crosser still!" "Hold back!" giggled the freight cars to each other. James did his best, but he was exhausted when they reached Edward's station. Luckily Douglas was there.
@@liljayyboi2 i can't do it i can't do it!! panted James leave it to me!!! called douglas the guard was concerned go steady the van's breaking!! *CRUNCH SMASH BANG* the van was in pieces
Music like this reminds me of how Thomas doesn't always need to be an intense, action-packed, cinematic show all the time. Now, mind you, I like those faster moments as much as anyone else would, but I also like when it can also just be nice, relaxing, and slow like the music here.
That is all right. Thomas was Here. He was not dead, According to Wiki fandom: In 2020, Mattel Television announced a new co-production partnership with Corus Entertainment’s Nelvana Studio. 104 11-minute episodes and two 60-minute specials were greenlit for the “Thomas & Friends” television series over two seasons. The new format will feature "a new look and story structure", original songs and Thomas as the lead character of every episode.
I can just hear James's driver in my head while this plays. "Look out for trouble, James. We'll go fast and get them up before they know it. Don't let them stop you."
I love how we're all adults here in this comment section, bonding over the great memories of Thomas the Tank Engine. This is an incredibly wholesome dang comment section.
Love how my favorite character also has my favorite theme. Not even biased towards the theme, it just sounds catchiest to me. I also think it would be fitting if James' angry face was in the picture lol.
I say this without a hint of irony, these compositions from the first few seasons were synthesizer propaganda for me as a young child. I didn't know what made these sounds, but I knew I wanted to have one so I could do it myself. 15ish years later and I'm keyboardist in a new wave band. Very thankful that O'Donnell and Campbell understood the importance of putting original, and complex music in this show. Kids are much smarter than many give them credit for, and I think it shows in the amount of people here who grew up with these songs returning to your fantastic recompositions!
"At the end of the line, James left his coaches and got ready for his next train. It was a slow freight, stopping at every station to pick up and set down cars. James hated slow freight trains. James: Dirty cars from dirty sidings! Yech!"
They reached Gordens hill. "pull hard we'll do it, pull hard we'll do it" James pulled and Edward pushed. Soon James could see the top of the hill "we've done it, we've done it". James was now sailing down the hill. Peep peep "thank you Edward". Peep peep peep "your welcome".
That was the time for the trucks! HURRAY HURRAY they giggled and buffer on buffer they pushed them down the hill... ON ON ON they screamed, I need to stop I need to stop cried James.
When they reached the next station, two coaches were beyond the platform. They had to go back to let the passengers go out. But no one seemed to know about Sir TopHam's new hat. So James felt better.
Really like the new ones you are releasing! This reminds me of when I would watch Old Iron on my 10 Years of Thomas DVD. I also like the new design for the videos.
I know James' character arc isn't that memorable (the first half of season 1 in general, especially when compared to the second half), but Troublesome Trucks will always be my most nostalgic episode from season 1 along with Thomas and Bertie, because they were included in a DVD my dad made for me when I was a kid containing four different shows with two episodes each, those shows being Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, My Friends Tigger & Pooh, Little Einsteins and of course, Thomas & Friends
I find it interesting how like 90% of James' themes are based on his triumphant theme rather than the original jazz them. I mean to be fair I think most of us, (even the people working on the show based on the music choice) associate James with the triumphant them from "Troublesome Trucks"/ "Foolish Freight Cars". It was probably intentional. Just thought it was interesting.
It's strange though, his triumphant theme is more something you associate with his noble redeeming side, while his jazzy theme with his show off brash side. You'd think the jazzy theme would have been used way more often.
@@ToonReel001Good point but now that I think about it, the triumphant theme is a variant of the theme used during the double header scene in "James and the Coaches "where James was showing off and his Jazz theme was used in "James and the Express" when he pulled the express for first time which could be seen as a moment of triumph. Granted I dont know what order they wrote the tracks but it looks like both are kind of used interchangeably during these moments.
@@J4Blue James and the Coaches I can give a pass because it already used his jazzy theme twice over, so needed SOME variation. James and the Express, well I guess it was a fast triumphant moment for James where he got to be splendid at last. I get interchanging between them, just I'm surprised the jazz theme was discarded altogether, even for scenes it might have made more sense to use the rowdy faster "Here he comes" take on James' theme.
James is no doubt my favorite character in Thomas the tank engine i’m pretty sure most people have James on their favorite characters list Yes I said “*most people*” not everyone likes James *but I do he’s ma boi* Btw great remake :)👍
I love this theme. I do find it very sweet, as well as a trip down memory lane. Not a very long trip, mind you, I have never grown out of these characters.
Played in James Learns a Lesson, James and the Freight Cars, A Proud Day for James, James in a Mess of Dirty Objects, The Old Iron, Donald and Douglas, Time for Trouble and No Joke for James
while james's usual theme expresses his vain, prideful side, this tune prefers to exemplify the hard-working busybody spirit that flourishes deep within every engine
At the next station, two coaches were beyond the platform. They had to go back to let off the passengers...but no one seemed to know about The Fat Controller's top hat, so James felt happier.
