Thomas & Friends
Description
Thomas and Friends is a multi-media franchise, originally created by the Reverend Wilbur Awdry. The series started as children's books called The Railway Series that were told to entertain Awdry's son Christopher when he had the measles. In the 1980's, the books were adapted into a television show that turned Thomas into the main character. The rest is history, inspiring some toys and even Nintendo video games. There was a movie in 2000 called Thomas and the Magic Railroad, which turned Thomas into a fantasy story for some reason.
Although Wilbur Awdry died in 1997, his son Christopher has taken over as the writer of the books, which live on to this day.
