Samer Bayoumi

Samer Bayoumi was an animator for Thomas &amp; Friends on The Great Race, the twenty-first series and Journey Beyond Sodor. He left Arc Productions when the studio filed for bankruptcy and was shut down in August 2016. He works extensively in film and animation, inspired by the 90s cartoons that "raised [him] and helped [him] form [his] moral compass." He has stated that his two favourite genres to animate are action and comedy, which may explain why he worked on movies in the franchise with an emphasis on those two elements.
