    God that thumbnail is satisfying, reminds me of some of the original concept art. What a well shot, well edited, entertaining, and informative breakdown. It seems impossible for people not to get completely lost on their first day there😂. The tourism board of Man might just take this as your job application, and for good reason. Let’s hope we can all make the “pilgrimage” out there someday, thanks for the fantastic vid

      I am in full agreement. I am only in the first two minutes of the video and it's so nice thusfar. Feels rather homey to be honest.

    The fact that so many of the locations are recognisable 25 years later does shock me slightly, and I would never have guessed Burnett was a beach boy! Fine work, I may make the trip myself eventually.

    this was amazing, honestly your best video ever. The way you lined up the shots so perfectly was pretty insane, and the amount of effort you went just to find these places was insane.

    If you want a little insight into the old sites on Dalby mountain, the National Libraries of Scotland have a map service that's really easy to use, it enables you to see those quarry buildings (Burnett's workshop) marked. Looks like a quarryman's workshop or quarryman's housing. There are some medieval ruins nearby too, a really interesting place.

    I swear, I want to do this but with the 1969 film “Hello, Dolly!” Known for being in “Wall-E” and featuring Pennsylvania 1223, which coincidentally, is on display right across the street from the Strasburg railroad, and the scene 1223 appears in is the main titles and the “Put on your Sunday Clothes” scene, which also coincidentally, is a scene we see in “Wall-E” many times.

    Wow, this is a FANTASTIC video! I specifically appreciate you showcasing other locations that weren't featured in the film but still held significance to Isle of Man. I had no idea they had a rail museum! Such an incredible effort, and kudos to you making the map available so other people can find the locations and visit them too!
    Also loved the investigative work on finding the locations, especially on the last boomer one...... so, when's part 2? XD

    @clockwork3494 11 месяцев назад +2

    Wow, this is so awesome to see!
    I know a lot of people within the fandom really dislike TATMRR, but I enjoy the movie quite a lot because it brings back many memories of my early childhood.
    I remember constantly borrowing it from the DVD 2000 stores around Canberra (god I feel old now) before my mother got so fed up with going back and forth that my grandfather made a copy of the disc for me.. just to annoy my mother even more lol
    Despite how hated it is, it's a film that will always hold a very special place in my heart, there's something about it that brings me back to the more simpler times.
    Back to your video though, perhaps Burnett's house is used as a sort of Holiday home or it's rented out to visitors?
    It doesn't seem abandoned and looks to be maintained quite well, especially considering how close it is to the seaside.

    After watching both yours and Jacob and Wylies location videos and rewatching shining time station I started having a fantasy about a soap drama set in the rural and urban areas of shining time and muffle mountain during the course of the 1970s. Seems like a decent idea for a show in the thomas community but in another way it just seems like one of those things that wasn't meant to be, but that's just what I think, if anyone has any opinions about this idea feel free to comment and I'll tell you the storyline I had in mind.

    @mallardduck7279 11 месяцев назад +2

    The Isle of Man is such a beautiful place. I wonder why the crew for TATMR went all the way there to Britain to film scenes that take place in America especially considering it is right next to the irl location of the island of Sodor. It makes me wish that they would've used Isle of man to film scenes that take place on Sodor. That is definitely something that I wish could happen and maybe one day it will...

    I think it may be the pine trees, but as a kid I always thought this film wasmade in America. I'm from the UK and have visited the ISle a few times and never made the correlation. Also I may have thought it was in America is because the city scenes were American, the main station was America and the loco was American, so I can see how I'd not make the correlation.

    Thomas because I feel like the movie Thomas and the Magic Railroad definitely was distancing himself/ itself from the Thomas and friends TV show, and it had a little more magic to the movie and was a little more magical, and had a little more spark to do it because and had a little more spark to it, because of the magic 🪄 railroad 🛤️ 🚞 🚆 , 🪄🛤️ 🚞 🚆 and what the magic 🪄 rail Road 🚆🚞🛤️ , 🪄🛤️ 🚞 🚆 turned out to be and what it was for Thomas, the tank, engine, and Thomas and friends, because it was such a magical journey for them and so magical for them and it definitely captured the heart and magic of Thomas and friends 1984 and The heart magic of shining time station 🚉 and what shining time station originally was and the essence of what Thomas and friends started out to be shining time station original Thomas and friends, TV show and captured a lot of the magic of shining time station and captured the heart of the 1994 Thomas and friends TV show and the characters and how well grounded . The characters were. In the 1994 Thomas and friends, TV show and heart and magic of that show as well and 94 for the Thomas and friends 1994 TV show.
    But it’s such a great movie and it’s so magical and it’s a big part of my childhood
