One of my recently discovered favourites is 'Out of Scale' - apart from the beauty of the drawings, and the general accuracy, this was Ward Kimball and co having a gentle laugh at the hobby they shared with Walt. Walt and his back garden railroad even appeared on thew cover of a 1950's French model railroad magazine.
I whole-heartedly agree with you, Out of Scale is a marvelous picture paying homage, and a quick giggle, to Walt's Carolwood Pacific. I think trains are some of the most complex and ingenious ways of expressing animation, especially when done right at the Disney Studio or by Ward
Walt's passion for trains was indeed quite remarkable. His life was basically about railroading when you think about it. He had an uncle who was a train engineer whom he looked up to. Plus the trains and train-like rides at Disney parks make it more obvious. Truly a great celebrity railfan. One of the top reasons I admire him
I completely agree with you! Of all the Foamers in the world, Walt is probably the best, followed closely by Ward Kimball haha It is my personal opinion that even though it was all started by a Mouse, it was really started by a love of trains
Afraid not haha I chose the name because, first off, it sounds good. Secondly, when Walt worked with children he insisted that they refer to him as Uncle Walt. And seeing as how I've looked up to Walt since I was a wee lad, I thought it only fitting to use the title Walt's Nephew as my RUclips profile name
@@WaltsNephew That would've been awesome if you were. Guess what, 9 years ago I wrote a letter to the Walt Disney Company about an idea for an attraction. The idea was a passenger train owned by them which would've taken people on cross country trips but it would've been pulled by a steam locomotive designed to look like Casey Jr. from Dumbo, kinda like the one that looks like Thomas that the Tweetsie Railroad has. They sent me a letter back which I kept to this day. They loved my idea and were so glad to see how thoughtfully creative was. But they couldn't accept my idea due to a policy of theirs which doesn't allow them to accept ideas from non affiliates. Truth be told I wasn't expecting them to accept it but all I wanted was a reply back from them which I gladly did get. Which is why I kept their reply letter. It's a treasure to me.
Walt was a huge rail enthusiast, and he was in good company. His fellow animators Ward Kimball and Ollie Johnston were also railfans. Walt also had his own ridable backyard train that he called the Carolwood Pacific Railroad. And because of this, almost all of the Disney parks include a railroad.
After the strain of near bankruptcy during the War years, Walt really needed a hobby so that he could get away from the Studio. Enter Ward offering to take Walt to the Chicago Railroad Fair, and the rest is history hahaha Just imagine if trains weren't part of Walt's life; the Parks would look very different, if they existed at all
@@WaltsNephew I can see why. Sometimes you need to have a hobby in order to relax, unwind, and also forget about over-working. My favorite hobbies I do enjoy is building star-ships (like the Ori Warship from Stargate SG-1 for example) out of LEGO's, bird watching, and also playing with toy Trains.
@@WaltsNephew Just yesterday I made an iconic Bad Guy alien warship from a famous classic 1970's Japanese anime TV Series called "Space Battleship Yamato" (also known in America as "Star Blazers") that many fans still watch to this very day, as well as it's 2012 reboot TV Series too. BTW............. Do you also want to know what alien warship I made out of LEGO's yesterday that I'm really really happy with?
All this love for trains and we have yet to see a proper film built around the premise of trains from Disney on a whole. Like a whole feature length film.
Walt was so creative when it comes to trains and railroading. I, too, am a steam enthusiast, just like him. Pounding pistons and spinning wheels just get my heart racing. Gotta love the power and beauty of steam locomotives :)
Very well put! That description alone is enough to get any true foamer going hahaha Keep an eye out on this channel during the summer. I've got a nice project coming that I hope to be as successful as this compilation here
Thank you, much appreciated! This is a dear hobby of mine and now I get to enjoy, and share with you the audience, a brief catalog of the trains in Walt's cartoons
I’ve seen the brave engineer a few times and I just realized that it’s a cartoony retelling of Casey’s last ride with a rework of the ballot of Casey jones
@@WaltsNephew another thing I like was a few other stories were adapted in the short like the part when he saved the girl is based on a similar event except switch out a girl in her 20s with a young girl
Absolutely right! The story artists took what they thought would further the character and story for the film and utilized them for the animators to have fun with (and the audience to enjoy the visual and audible artistic masterpiece in the end)
Well thank you! I had an old schoolmate of mine that just loved the World Wars and would take to modeling scenes from WWII with Lionel trains and incorporate a few tanks as well
Not boasting or anything but my history teacher once showed us a picture of a battleship leading a line of cruisers. Immediately I could tell what the battleship's name was. The way I said it was like, "Ah, the USS Pennsylvania." Everyone else was shocked that I knew what it was.
Good work! I know the feeling. I was the only guy who didn't have to do a final presentation since I got an A both semesters in APUSH so during the finals week, for fun, I decided to put together a PowerPoint presentation to teach my fellow classmates (and my teacher) how to operate a steam locomotive. Afterwards they went "Wow, you were right. That is a bit easier than driving a car"
I never knew that Walt bridged the gap between silent and sound. Amazing. So many I remember. And 'No Dogs Allowed' had to be an influence on Snoopy. Ahhh Baía
I really love the steam trains. But disney trains... it makes me want to have them all in replica and in one place! all this formed my fanaticism for them hehe Thanks for uploading this. Greetings from Argentina.
I couldn't agree with you more! There are many things I can contribute to my love of trains, but I think the thing that really secured my admiration for trains was the ability as a wee lad to ride the Disneyland Railroad, practically, all the time. 4 (then 5) distinctly characteristic and charming engines with wonderful paint schemes, sounds and everything in between just showing the pinnacle of steam locomotion. Thanks for enjoying!
I remember watching "out of scale" as a kid on VHS at some summer group I went to. I also remember seeing "How to Swim" on Disney Channel. I've seen The Reluctant Dragon on the internet before, but I've never seen the rest
The Reluctant Dragon is a great picture to see Casey Jr. in his alternative form and to see the Disney Studio within its first years of operation! If you have Disney+ it's on there!
EXACTLY. If you've never seen Ward Kimball's footage of Walt at the Chicago Railroad fair from '48, it's really worth a gander. He has the biggest smile on his face the whole time hahaha
Quite right! In Brian Sibley's biography of the Reverend, he made reference to Dumbo and how Casey Jr. came out 4 years before "Three Railway Engines" was published
@@thekidfromcleveland3944 Oooooo That was a GREAT story by Kipling! When I read the short story I appreciated the fact that he paid attention to railroading details for Foamers like us to enjoy

@@alexanderip1003 Welllll Toby has cowcatchers, and there are certain engines in Walt's films (namely Toad's escape engine) that had buffers and no cowcatchers
As much as I wanted to see Walt try to adapt Thomas and Friends, Britt Allcroft's adaptation was much better, because everything she did on the show was very believable, from the engines and rolling stock, to the people and backgrounds; she wanted everything to be as real as possible. Besides, if Walt did adapt the Railway Series, I'm certain he'd put some cartoony elements in his adaptation, and Wilbert would never approve of it one bit.
10:45 That looks both incredibly fun and horrifying all at once. Imagine being on a monstrous steam locomotive at high speed and it’s rhythmically rocking side to side like that. I’d be having the time of my life and fearing for it at the same time! 😁
That's the beauty of Ward Kimball's animation hahaha For a turn of the Century locomotive I would LOVE to be on the footplate to experience such a chase
Can you imagine if Disney had asked the Reverend Awdry for the rights to his books and engines? I wonder what a Disney film about the Engines on the Island of Sodor would be like...
@@miscellaneoussarnian5282 Well said! Realism and following standard English railway codes are the primary premise of the original Railway Series stories. Without them, there is no sense of believability
@@WaltsNephewBelieve it or not, I'm a MAJOR Thomas fan. And I watched this a good amount of times. Though I prefer Thomas And Friends when it comes to shows with steam engines, the trains here are really entertaining. Hopefully Mattel will make the show great again, and hopefully Disney will start caring for its fans again. Sadly, I doubt that'll happen.
Hey! Idk if you remember me, or if this is even the right person, but we met in the peter pan line at disneyland and you told me about this video! Again, congrats on 2 million views!
How about them apples! This is a first for me; one of my guests actually watching the things I mentioned to them haha Glad you found my little research project! Come find me again the next time you come by Walt's Park!
Mickey's choo choo gave me nightmares as a kid, I remember getting scared and waking up my parents at like, 1 AM. In fact it still disturbs me and I still try to avoid it, but here we are..
Oh my, I'm dreadfully sorry to hear that! I'll admit the first time I ever watched the cartoon I thought the engine looked mad while he was shunting in the yards, but then he started to eat his luncheon and he seemed friendlier from then on
I'm sorry, I meant no offense. Just remember that this is ink and paint on celluloid. And, most of all, don't forget that this is Mickey; he by no means wants to bring any trouble or bad tidings to any person
Quite right! In my "re-releases" of this compilation, I have ensured Bongo's streamlined locomotive was included as well as the other films I neglected to notice a train
Hahaha! Boy that was rich! Ya know, I think you may have a point there, seeing has how the Railway Series was 1945 and Mickey's Choo-Choo is '29, so you could be right!
Ooooo good choice! Personally, my favorite Disney film is Mary Poppins. But in relation to Hercules, my favorite scene is when they're in the town and the weird fellow comes up to them and goes, "Hey, you wanna buy a sundial?"
Merry Christmas 2020 A.D., from the GB&W Live Steamers Union!! Walt,s backyard live steamer is a 4-4-0 American built in 1873 in the Sacremento Shops of the Central Pacific RR. It is built to 1:8th scale at 1&1/2" inches equals=1' foot, with 7&1/2" guage track. Walt had his backyard railroad built into the side of the hill, with a lower level. And a upper level with tunnels and bridges. But then a rain storm and landslide destroyedost of it. The loco is Number 173, and named "Lilly Belle" to honor his wife. He built the wheels in the Studio machine shop lathe with Mr. Brodie helping him, and Bob Harpur. The loco and some cars are preserved by the Los Angeles Live Steamers Club in Griffith Park, close by to the Travel town RR Museum. Also zoo and Observatory. Even more next time, Walt knows about English live steamers because his photo is holding 1860era 2-2-2 with open footplate and shiny brass dome, plus, 1950 era photo shows him in England and running 1:16th scale loco for 3/4" to 1' with 3&1/2" guage track on raised up platform. So he might know about early Thomas stories.
Great history and Merry Christmas! There was also Walt's model for Carolwood of King George V, so it's possible he did know about the Reverend's stories!
1:26 I wouldn’t consider a trolley to in the trains category. I mean isn’t there a big difference between them? I know they do run on tracks and everything but I not so sure about this.
I would suggest making a video about Walt's passion for boats in all he did. Steamboat Willie to start with...and think of ALL those rides at Disneyland that feature riders in a boat!
An interesting proposition! Although Mickey's boat was not Walt's first animated vessel; that honor belongs to one of the Alice Comedies. I might just take you up on that notion (as long as I can find time away from my schooling hahaha)
I whole-heartedly agree with you. I used the word "train" in the general sense since most are unfamiliar with the differentiation of railroad terminology between "train" and "locomotive," but thank you for noticing!
@@WaltsNephew I think, personally, its because every automobile has a single pronounced word it except the locomotive i.e car plane boat But railway machines? Lo-co
I do however doubt that Walt Disney himself had ever heard of Thomas the Tank Engine, at least I grew up with Thomas as well as those Disney movies. But might there come a day when his company might buy copyright to Thomas (the Tank Engine) and Friends?
Excellent question! Look up the "Virginia and Truckee Railroad" on the internet. A small but very significant railway in Nevada (mostly) and California
Very tempting! A while back someone suggested I make a compilation about the boats and now we've got one for automobiles. Honestly, I think the one for cars may be more doable since they seem a bit more easier to find hahaha Maybe I'll work on it this summer!
Walt Disney would be proud and amazed at what he did he deserves a lot of credit way to go appreciate your style and time at disneyworld take care best wishes to everyone. Joe
What about the trains featured in live action Disney films such as _So Dear to my Heart, Pollyanna,_ or most notably _The Great Locomotive Chase?_ Or did you mainly want to focus on animated trains?
The latter is true haha This is a compilation of the trains Walt personally oversaw in his animated pictures. BUT you bring up a very good point and it is something I plan on working on: showcasing Walt's live-action trains
Yes indeed! Albeit a little different, the animators wanted to have a little fun with Walt's new Carolwood Pacific by making it the focus for a cartoon
I'm thinking I will! But since there are so many films and shorts to go through I may not do it right now. However, I am currently working on a project that does include the Italian engine from Luca!
Ooooo I like your thinking there. I think that since John Lasseter is such an admirer of Disney animation, he might've gotten the base idea for anthropomorphic automobiles from Susie!
I think that the animators (most likely Ub Iwerks) found the best way to convey the character and to express a large range of emotion would be to utilize the slats of a cowcatcher as teeth and would, therefore, make sense to use as the mouth for Mickey's Choo-Choo
Good question. I'm prejudiced since I prefer Walt's storytelling over most, but I think when it comes to trains I think the Reverend and Walt are equals
I don’t know the answer to that myself hahaha I think it was stock audio the studio had on hand since this cartoon is not the only one to feature this exact same whistle
18:31 sorry to nitpick this but with that weight between the engine and a cowboy, he probably would be dead by now, but hey it's animation after all, everything is possible
@@baumcollcsame7871 Hahaha And that's the 2 different styles of animation that people argue about: the Easter style (rubber housing and making anything out to be possible) and the Wester style (realism to the highest degree)
I think there is great potential for Pixar to do a Trains film and a chance for them to distinguish themselves from sounding too familiar to a Thomas-type storyline
Hahaha It's true! At that time up until maybe the mid to early '30s, the style of animation was called "rubber hose" where characters and objects could have spaghetti arms that could stretch and do as many things as you wished! Then later on down the road realism was the more desired style and that is quite evident towards the middle-or-so of this compilation
I gotta admit, I've never thoroughly watched Chuggington, but I think Disney would've tackled Thomas better than HIT or the CGI era (ESPECIALLY Season 25). Regardless, Casey is a fantastic character!
That's becoming one of the questions for the ages haha Frankly, it seemed unlikely, but I predict if Season 25 bombs with audiences Mattel will have no choice but to look for a buyer
Indeed! I think, especially with early examples of animation, the more "circular" or difficult the animation would seem the more likely it would be enjoyed by the audience
I must confess, I've never thought about finding all the houses in Walt's cartoons hahaha I have several projects in mind at the moment for future release so stay tuned for some good entertainment (if I do say so myself)
Why is it 1923-1966 when it ends at 1963? Just a simple number change and your title will be 100% accurate. Other than that though, a nice compilation!
Ahhh, there's a good reason for that. You're right, Sword in the Stone ('63) was the last film, BUT there would have been more if Walt lived longer. So that's why I end it with 1966 rather than 1963. Thanks for noticing!
Well, they do always seem to have some sort of reference to trains somewhere now-and-again. So, in my opinion, they haven't stopped using trains in either films or television haha
You're right, that is a sad moment. But you see, the main reason why I could not include that sequence from "Fox and the Hound" in this compilation is because that was 1981, so Walt had no direct affiliation with that picture. But I will say the engine in there, be it a 4-4-0, Mogul or Ten-Wheeler definitely needed more on-screen time!
@@WaltsNephew wheel arrangement is a good question, I would probably think it's a 4-4-0, because of the diamond smoke stack, and it resembles one from "Lady and the Tramp" in the yard.
I mean, engine drivers in Britain almost since the dawn of the railway age have given engines personalities. Sooooo sentient engines belong to the ages hahaha
I think a Pixar trains film would be GREAT. I was disappointed with Planes: Fire and Rescue where Muir was present more than once, did not say a word and who's whistle used stock audio

Mickey's choo choo gave me nightmares as a kid, I remember getting scared and waking up my parents at like, 1 AM. In fact it still disturbs me and I still try to avoid it, but here we are..
Oh my, I'm dreadfully sorry to hear that! I'll admit the first time I ever watched the cartoon I thought the engine looked mad while he was shunting in the yards, but then he started to eat his luncheon and he seemed friendlier from then on
When he ate his luncheon, it just really triggered me...There's just something about it
I'm sorry, I meant no offense. Just remember that this is ink and paint on celluloid. And, most of all, don't forget that this is Mickey; he by no means wants to bring any trouble or bad tidings to any person
I know, but I mean, we saw the inside of his mouth, and it shape shifts, I guess I just wasn't used to these type of cartoons
Ahhh gotcha
Really miss Walt Disney!
Go to Disneyland, you'll find him ;)
You can see when the trains start going from first grader looking to being more realistic in the late 1930’s
In a way yes hahaha They went from Eastern, rubber hose style animation to more Western, realism as the primary aesthetic for artistic direction
A good compilation, though you neglected to include the train seen in the “Bongo” segment of “Fun & Fancy Free”.
Quite right! In my "re-releases" of this compilation, I have ensured Bongo's streamlined locomotive was included as well as the other films I neglected to notice a train
Mickey’s Choo Choo might be Thomas’ Dad lol
Hahaha! Boy that was rich! Ya know, I think you may have a point there, seeing has how the Railway Series was 1945 and Mickey's Choo-Choo is '29, so you could be right!
6:55 casey jr and the magic railroad
Hahaha possibly!
You should put Caps on.
6:44 get good. Also my favorite train they made is Casey Jr.
Indeed! I think Casey may yet be the real star of this compilation
Great Video Buddy And I Love Trains And Disney Movies And My Favorite Disney Movie is Hercules
Ooooo good choice! Personally, my favorite Disney film is Mary Poppins. But in relation to Hercules, my favorite scene is when they're in the town and the weird fellow comes up to them and goes, "Hey, you wanna buy a sundial?"
@@WaltsNephew That's Cool And Also What Does Film Mean? (Just Curious)
By film I mean "movie," as in my favorite movie being Mary Poppins
@@WaltsNephew Oh Okay
Thank you walt disney for your cartoon train you amazing man we will never forget your name and rip
Walt will never be forgotten. He's one of the few people in history who can claim that they changed the world into a better place
Merry Christmas 2020 A.D., from the GB&W Live Steamers Union!! Walt,s backyard live steamer is a 4-4-0 American built in 1873 in the Sacremento Shops of the Central Pacific RR. It is built to 1:8th scale at 1&1/2" inches equals=1' foot, with 7&1/2" guage track. Walt had his backyard railroad built into the side of the hill, with a lower level. And a upper level with tunnels and bridges. But then a rain storm and landslide destroyedost of it. The loco is Number 173, and named "Lilly Belle" to honor his wife. He built the wheels in the Studio machine shop lathe with Mr. Brodie helping him, and Bob Harpur. The loco and some cars are preserved by the Los Angeles Live Steamers Club in Griffith Park, close by to the Travel town RR Museum. Also zoo and Observatory. Even more next time, Walt knows about English live steamers because his photo is holding 1860era 2-2-2 with open footplate and shiny brass dome, plus, 1950 era photo shows him in England and running 1:16th scale loco for 3/4" to 1' with 3&1/2" guage track on raised up platform. So he might know about early Thomas stories.
Great history and Merry Christmas! There was also Walt's model for Carolwood of King George V, so it's possible he did know about the Reverend's stories!
18:43 my two favourite modes of transport side by side (boat and engine)
Yes indeed! Although, perhaps even more importantly, each are steam-powered crafts!
In fact, the locomotive looks a lot like the Jupiter
@Walt’s Nephew You like the titanic?
Thanks for replying to my text Walt JR
Actually, she's meant to look like Lilly Belle which is based off CP 173
15:54 I'm quite jealous of Donald.
Gotta admit, Donald is one of the luckiest ducks in the world hahaha
I built a live steamer so I wouldn't have to be jealous of Donald.
@@johnnyjames7139 Really?! I'd like to see that haha
Everyone here does
1:26 I wouldn’t consider a trolley to in the trains category. I mean isn’t there a big difference between them? I know they do run on tracks and everything but I not so sure about this.
It’s a trolley
I would suggest making a video about Walt's passion for boats in all he did. Steamboat Willie to start with...and think of ALL those rides at Disneyland that feature riders in a boat!
An interesting proposition! Although Mickey's boat was not Walt's first animated vessel; that honor belongs to one of the Alice Comedies. I might just take you up on that notion (as long as I can find time away from my schooling hahaha)
“Mickey’s steamroller” I wouldn’t exactly call that a steam *train*, a steam locomotive yes, but not a train
I whole-heartedly agree with you. I used the word "train" in the general sense since most are unfamiliar with the differentiation of railroad terminology between "train" and "locomotive," but thank you for noticing!
@@WaltsNephew I think, personally, its because every automobile has a single pronounced word it except the locomotive
i.e car plane boat
But railway machines? Lo-co
@@BrentSudric Ahhhhh that makes some sense there! I'll be sure to keep that in mind!
@@WaltsNephew thanks! I only thought about it a couple of months ago!
That episode also features a trolley.
9:15 that yellow square wheel gives me OCD
14:10 The same sound effect when Mario breaks a box in Super Mario 64.
That is a rather similar sound haha
I do however doubt that Walt Disney himself had ever heard of Thomas the Tank Engine, at least I grew up with Thomas as well as those Disney movies.
But might there come a day when his company might buy copyright to Thomas (the Tank Engine) and Friends?
Good question; perhaps if the Company finds the funds to save and rejuvenate the show from where it has come, maybe might breath new life into Thomas
@@WaltsNephew I'm sorry, I have autism, I'm restricted to a low English level because of it, can you simplify that more clearly than that please?
There are ALOT of trains in these cartoons
Even bigger than the Island of Sodor
You bet your boots! Walt's engines really gives Sir Topham Hatt a run for his money haha
HAHAHAHA LOL
Imagine Donald Duck riding Duck
Hahahaha Aw man, that would be a real hum-dinger!
Because it’s USA.
@@jjoshi4858 imagine Donald Duck riding Donald.
My favorites are
1.Trolley trouble
2.Reluctant dragon
3.dumbo
4.brave engineer
Excellent choices!
What was the V & T RR? Was that of any significance? It appeared on the tender of several locomotives
Excellent question! Look up the "Virginia and Truckee Railroad" on the internet. A small but very significant railway in Nevada (mostly) and California
Man Walt and the Rev awdry would be good friends
I think if Awdry ever took a tour of America and managed to find Walt at the Park, I'm sure the two would've hit it off instantaneously hahaha
Well that answer my question
Please do one on all the cars in his films!
Very tempting! A while back someone suggested I make a compilation about the boats and now we've got one for automobiles. Honestly, I think the one for cars may be more doable since they seem a bit more easier to find hahaha Maybe I'll work on it this summer!
Walt Disney would be proud and amazed at what he did he deserves a lot of credit way to go appreciate your style and time at disneyworld take care best wishes to everyone. Joe
Yes indeed, there's more to the company name than just a name; it may have all started with a Mouse, but it really started with a man and a dream
What about the trains featured in live action Disney films such as _So Dear to my Heart, Pollyanna,_ or most notably _The Great Locomotive Chase?_ Or did you mainly want to focus on animated trains?
The latter is true haha This is a compilation of the trains Walt personally oversaw in his animated pictures. BUT you bring up a very good point and it is something I plan on working on: showcasing Walt's live-action trains
Would love to have all those in my collection
Me too hahaha
8:21 Ohio got me dying☠️
ウォルトディズニーがいかに鉄道ファンだったか分かる動画
ミッキーマウスもウォルトが列車に乗ってる時に居たドブネズミを参考にして描いたとか
それも列車の中でミッキーマウスを最初に描いたとか
Donald gets to ride Walt's backyard rr
in " Out of Scale"
Yes indeed! Albeit a little different, the animators wanted to have a little fun with Walt's new Carolwood Pacific by making it the focus for a cartoon
can you do the All Trains in Walt Disney´s Animated Films 1923-2021 pls because in the movie Luca they appears a italian train
I'm thinking I will! But since there are so many films and shorts to go through I may not do it right now. However, I am currently working on a project that does include the Italian engine from Luca!
@@WaltsNephew Well, it seems to me that there are so many trains in Disney movies that at the same time seem like a lot and greetings from México
Trust me, the list is quite extensive hahaha Also, it always strikes me how many visitors from around the world my little channel gets
I think susie the little coupe inspired disney pixar's cars because the eyes are on the wind shield instead of the headlights
Ooooo I like your thinking there. I think that since John Lasseter is such an admirer of Disney animation, he might've gotten the base idea for anthropomorphic automobiles from Susie!
@@WaltsNephewyeah but I wish that casey jr has his own show
Called casey jr and friends
Why is Mickey’s choo choo have its mouth as the cowcatcher
I think that the animators (most likely Ub Iwerks) found the best way to convey the character and to express a large range of emotion would be to utilize the slats of a cowcatcher as teeth and would, therefore, make sense to use as the mouth for Mickey's Choo-Choo
@@WaltsNephew ok
I love the freight train in Mickey's Trailer because of the reefer cars, tank cars and the caboose.
I think it's one of those scenes in Disney animation that goes almost unmentioned in terms of sheer detail and pinpoint accuracy
Who did it better, the rev. W. Awdry, or Walt Disney?
Good question. I'm prejudiced since I prefer Walt's storytelling over most, but I think when it comes to trains I think the Reverend and Walt are equals
Agreed
21:19
STEPHENSON’S ROCKET
Yeppers! The engine that set the standard for every conventional steam locomotive made after 1829
Can anyone tell me what chime the whistle is for the train in Mickey's Trailer?
I don’t know the answer to that myself hahaha I think it was stock audio the studio had on hand since this cartoon is not the only one to feature this exact same whistle
ATSF #3751's 5 chime
18:31 sorry to nitpick this but with that weight between the engine and a cowboy, he probably would be dead by now, but hey it's animation after all, everything is possible
You'd think that at least he'd have a little back pain haha
Don't forget IT'S JUST A CARTOON!!
@@baumcollcsame7871 Hahaha And that's the 2 different styles of animation that people argue about: the Easter style (rubber housing and making anything out to be possible) and the Wester style (realism to the highest degree)
Disney created the Cars franchise in 2006 and Planes in 2013, now wait for Trains.
I think there is great potential for Pixar to do a Trains film and a chance for them to distinguish themselves from sounding too familiar to a Thomas-type storyline
Trains are not as popular in the USA as there were before. Maybe this is why Disney will never make a Trains movie.
Good ol’ Walt sure loved his choochoos.
You're darn tootin'! Without trains, no Disneyland
Disney animating his first trains:aaahaaa lool ima make it look like it's made from rubber
Hahaha It's true! At that time up until maybe the mid to early '30s, the style of animation was called "rubber hose" where characters and objects could have spaghetti arms that could stretch and do as many things as you wished! Then later on down the road realism was the more desired style and that is quite evident towards the middle-or-so of this compilation
7:39 & 12:10.
Some fans of Thomas on social media are familiar with those trains.
Yes indeed! Casey Jr. and Casey Jones' engines are very popular
I wonder what Disney would think of Thomas the tank engine? He'd probably adore it.
I think so. Nobody seems to specifically know if he was aware of the Railway Series or not, but I think if he did me might have done something with it
Casey Jr is my favorite train from Disney! He is so much better than the trains on that Chuggington show that they put on Disney Junior.
I gotta admit, I've never thoroughly watched Chuggington, but I think Disney would've tackled Thomas better than HIT or the CGI era (ESPECIALLY Season 25). Regardless, Casey is a fantastic character!
Maybe you should do british engines when they appeared in any disney films live action or animation
Ooooo That's a snapping idea! Maybe I'd just do European engines to have a little more variety and substance. I'll let ya know if I decide to do that!
3:33 you swank around with those steamroller wheels thinking your as good as me
7:39 actually.... I’m better
Hahahahahaha That was excellent
21:26 Oh The Trains Got Bigger, Stronger, And Much Longer! Faster Too Of Course!
Indeed! To go from Rocket to General is a BIG change!
@@WaltsNephew Train From 1829 To Train In 1840
@@WaltsNephew I Also Like Steam Locomotives That I Made My Own Steam Locomotive! The WindowsMelon Express!
Finally man found a vehicle outrun a horse.
Distances got shorter somehow
Lots of people were traveling now
Very mania video .
Thank you, I hope you enjoyed it haha
Did that locomotive that just went by? Did it look too similar to the one from sheriff Callie‘s wild West but just minus the caboose/breakvan
I wonder what will happen if Mattel sold the rights of Thomas to Disney
That's becoming one of the questions for the ages haha Frankly, it seemed unlikely, but I predict if Season 25 bombs with audiences Mattel will have no choice but to look for a buyer
@@WaltsNephew Disney tried to buy Thomas in the past
@@awesometrain77 I think I remember hearing something about that a few years back haha
0:24 Loop de Loop
Indeed! I think, especially with early examples of animation, the more "circular" or difficult the animation would seem the more likely it would be enjoyed by the audience
17:49 18:06 Emma Nevada #2’s whistle
Without Casey Jr, I wouldn’t have started to love trains today.
Casey does have that affect on people hahaha
@@WaltsNephew but not as much as Thomas the Tank Engine
Can you upload all houses in Walt Disney animated films?
I must confess, I've never thought about finding all the houses in Walt's cartoons hahaha I have several projects in mind at the moment for future release so stay tuned for some good entertainment (if I do say so myself)
@@WaltsNephew i sure do
At 4:50 what was that on the left
Good question! I honestly think the engine from "Mickey's Trailer" is a Hudson 4-6-4, but it's not entirely clear. But that's my guess!
17:09 I’m building that locomotive with my dad
this weekend (well not like a real locomotive, made with lego)
Should be a fun build!
Sure is… it’s been 9 hours, and I only have the wheels and 1 rod done cuz of plan changes for long time😅
I’ll contact ya when it’s done, alright ?
4:45 ATSF #3751's 5 chime
You might be right!
Out of scale and the brave engineer have the same tracks and train
Yes they do! Disney is the king of recycling
Haha I like it:)
And I glad liked it
Good haha
Why is it 1923-1966 when it ends at 1963? Just a simple number change and your title will be 100% accurate.
Other than that though, a nice compilation!
Ahhh, there's a good reason for that. You're right, Sword in the Stone ('63) was the last film, BUT there would have been more if Walt lived longer. So that's why I end it with 1966 rather than 1963. Thanks for noticing!
Does the reluctant dragon have deleted footage from dumbo in it?
I don't think so. I think Ward Kimball was just having fun and experimenting with Casey's appearance before his finalized version for Dumbo
@@WaltsNephew Oh, that makes sense.
7:08 Thomas and Tugs but old style. LOL.
Ooooo I like your thinking there
CASEY JR VS BARCO FIGHT!
Casey Jr early design
we need to get a crossover with the engines of the island of sodor and all these trains
I have a question why did they stopped using trains in disney movie and show?
Well, they do always seem to have some sort of reference to trains somewhere now-and-again. So, in my opinion, they haven't stopped using trains in either films or television haha
Ok
The Fox and the Hound has a train too, but I don't blame you, because of what happened to old Chief when he got Tod on the run.
You're right, that is a sad moment. But you see, the main reason why I could not include that sequence from "Fox and the Hound" in this compilation is because that was 1981, so Walt had no direct affiliation with that picture. But I will say the engine in there, be it a 4-4-0, Mogul or Ten-Wheeler definitely needed more on-screen time!
@@WaltsNephew wheel arrangement is a good question, I would probably think it's a 4-4-0, because of the diamond smoke stack, and it resembles one from "Lady and the Tramp" in the yard.
Quite true! I have the feeling the animators might have paid homage to that very same engine
Sentient engines were Walt Disney's idea, not rev.awdrys
I mean, engine drivers in Britain almost since the dawn of the railway age have given engines personalities. Sooooo sentient engines belong to the ages hahaha
Cool!
Thank you! I think it is so marvelous to see how large of an impact railroading had on Walt's life and how it showed in his films
@@WaltsNephew yea
what was the train walt holding picture came from
It's from an episode of the Disneyland TV show entitled "Where Do the Stories Come From?"
ruclips.net/video/HK7grVAeRSA/видео.html
Most of the early animated trains was having 4 or 2 power wheel and no diesel
Yes indeed! I believe it made it easier on the animator as well as giving the engine more character
Disney and his trains. :D Disney needs to make a Disney Pixar Trains movie and a Little Engine That Could movie.
I think a Pixar trains film would be GREAT. I was disappointed with Planes: Fire and Rescue where Muir was present more than once, did not say a word and who's whistle used stock audio
It won’t happen, otherwise there would be a lot of comparisons to Thomas and Friends.
