Thomas the tank engine goes PC
https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...stereotype

How does an African loco end up on Thomas’s home island of Sodor? It’s Thomas who is leaving Sodor to travel around the world.
Why would he do that? The island is dramatically confining. “We couldn’t have him encountering a new animal in Sodor every week,” says series producer Ian McCue. “But now he can meet kangaroos in Australia, tigers in India, pandas in China.”
Exactly which line will Thomas be taking to get to Australia? I think you’re missing the point.

If you have ever had kids into Thomas, you know its about character. Now it seems they are going into UN PC and diversity. Nothing wrong with girl engines, but it seems its all about groups now. And its about kangaroos, tigers and pandas, not kids.

Kids grow out of Thomas in what, three years at max? The producers don't need to innovate because their viewer base is always resetting to zero.

Its kind of a 2-5 thing.

But then maybe they are targeting the millennial parents.
