My son is 6 and he’s obsessed with trains and he found your video and he can’t stop watching it , it’s so well made !! Thank you for sharing your work with ❤ everyone
Great as always Andrew! When I first saw the opening Sequence 8 years ago I was blown away by it but actually seeing it all come together is amazing and you must feel good.
Thank you Andrew! I've seen The Brave Locomotive so many times, it's very fun to see and hear the break down of all the parts. It makes me appreciate the ingredients and the end result even more.
"The railway ran over Grass and Desert land, some parts of the railway weren't the easiest to climb, especially for British built 2-4-0 'Linus', the engine that was handling passenger services at the time, sometimes passenger services would be late because of wild-life sneaking out on the railway, meaning engineers would have to apply the emergency brakes to avoid hitting them, but as more contemporary technology rolled around they eventually just stopped caring and just began running the animals right over, there was also a trestle bridge built very poorly, it was found to act unstable under the weight of Modern engines, one incident calling for the railway to have to borrow linus back from the logging company in the mountains, to haul 4-8-4 locomotive 'Samson' back away from the edge of the near-given in bridge, this would make headlines and draw reporters to the V.K.R.R, Calling for the now wrecked Linus to be rebuilt and put into preservation, still continuing services long after 1895." "Baron died in his sleep in 1929, meaning his daughter 'The Railroad Princess' would inherit the V.K.R.R, leaving the fate of the 2 engines in her hands." "So, she decided to keep Linus in his current preservation services, Samson's whereabouts are currently undocumented." "Baron lived to a solid 96 years old before his death, he lived a good life and the railroad wouldn't have been here if it wasnt for him."
A great pairing of animation and music can still tell the story without words. This reminds me of the narratives from Fantasia in that regard, lots of strong character designs and expressive animation with a soundtrack that supports the mood and atmosphere. Not to disparage the singers and lyricist, the songs are memorable and extremely well performed, but this does make for a unique experience in its own right and I just find it neat how much you can do in this medium with a change as straightforward as taking out the vocals.
music in the background is always nice, but when the music helps tell the story and can tell the story just as well on its own--it's great, especially with how rare it is! this does a great job at that!
I just noticed this after a while of watching it, in Samson assumes you still get the sense that he is really fast won’t stop at nothing, cause there are little taps of the snare drum to sound like chugging of a steamer like Samson.
Hey Andrew! just too let you know, i made a brasil version in 2023, recomand you wacht it!, in 2023 cus i made it wen you posted the brave locomotive, so in the same day i made a brasil version.
You know what this may be completely unrelated to this video, but on the exact same day, that this video was published to RU-vid Godzilla X Kong the new empire came out, and I went to watch it at theaters.
Correction I watched the movie one day early in the theaters which would be March 28 the reason why I watched it one day early is because March 29 is a Friday and they would probably be a lot more people on a Friday
