Chuggington

Ever since Mattel killed a precious train franchise (Thomas and Friends), few still remained, which is Chuggington of course. Looks like a pretty fun show. Pretty cool designs. Catchy theme songs. Good characters. It got so much development in later years. Can't believe this show lasted for so long now. Chuggington, keep the train fans entertained please.

I discovered Chuggington whilst watching CBeebies with my now six month old son who at the time was about three months old. I noticed his excitement at the beginning credits and the absolute awe with which he would watch the screen.

The show is CGI, colourful, vibrant and wholesome. Like it's obvious predecessor Thomas (the Tank engine), Chuggington features trains which are alive, interacting with people. Each episode is ten minutes long with lessons to be learnt by the audience through the 3 main chuggers (trains) Wilson, Brewster and Koko.

Chuggington is a great show for children of all ages, despite it's intended target audience of three to six years. It is refreshing to see a show that doesn't patronise the viewer like many of the other shows for the same age range.

It's quite very amazing in my opinion ever since I watched it on TV Cultura and mostly watch some Russian dubs of some episodes on YouTube and i don't even care if the show is a rip-off to Thomas The Tank Engine and Friends and there are mostly some good characters like Wilson, Olwin, Chatsworth, Hodge, Jackman and many more and I mostly do like the main title theme and even the textures on the Chug Town so anyway i still watch the show as of today and mostly it's still ok in my opinion and even some characters that I mostly know like Tai and Rosa and there are some okay song like Let's Train Together and CQHG (despite they already made a song about Chug Patrol).

Many people hate this show as they say it's a Thomas and Friends rip off. I was one of them. But I decided to watch some episodes a few months after this mindset started and it wasn't that bad. The stories are honestly interesting and alright but nothing spectacular. I like the engines designs, the animation is quite good, especially by 2008s standards.

I think this show is not as good as Thomas (but better than series 13-16 of thomas), but it has it's charm and will get some enjoyment out of you.

As a major fan of trains and already has 4 train tracks between his home and mine, my grandson cannot stop watching this! He loves this show, and I even think it's very entertaining and very well made. I never knew how many different stories and ways to teach children lessons and manners could be done with trains until watching this show. Every episode has a lesson to learn. My grandson is 2 yrs, 3 mos. old and whenever it gets close to evening time, he says "trains, trains" until he gets our attention and we know this show must come on. It's a must-watch for all young children!
