Trond Teigen

"Even though it's a long time since I worked on Thomas the Tank Engine, I can't remember that neither me nor others reacted negatively to the series, on the contrary actually. I see the series as playful, cute, and innocent, and not a bad role model for children at all. Thomas the Tank Engine has a generally warmer tone than much of what's being made now."
