We, the undersigned, are calling on the creators and rights holders of Thomas & Friends to revive the Original Series and restore the charm, storytelling, and character integrity that fans around the world fell in love with.

The early seasons of Thomas & Friends—especially Series 1–4 and 20—faithfully adapted the Railway Series books by the Rev. W. Awdry and brought the Island of Sodor to life with heart, wit, and rich moral storytelling. These episodes respected the personalities of each character and taught valuable life lessons in a timeless way.

We believe that recent changes have strayed too far from what made the show special. The characters we grew up with deserve to return to their original, true-to-form personalities—and the stories should once again be based on the classic Railway Series source material.

Let’s make Thomas & Friends great again—for the fans who grew up with it, for new generations of children, and for the legacy of the original creators.

Please sign this petition if you believe in the power of classic storytelling and want to see Thomas & Friends return to its roots.
