That was amazing. The technique really did make it look like stop motion with toys. It was like watching one of the many children shows like Thomas the Tank Engine. I spend quite a bit of time with my 2 and 3 year old.

That was very cool!

Chad, I'm with you on Thomas. I think I enjoy watching it more than my kids sometimes, often watching it all by my lonesome. Another one is Roary the Racing Car. We used to watch Brum, too, but I haven't seen that on in awhile. Seems like we even have to import our kids shows now, either from UK or Australia.

Ha!! I've been watching Roary too. Catchy theme song.

I also like watching "Bigfoot Presents: Meteor and the Mighty Monster Trucks".

EDIT: I agree with your show import comment too. HIT is the company that has the good shows.

Also all the grown up shows I watch on the DIY channels are imported from Canada.

I found Roary on On-Demand and ended up watching them all in one sitting. Now I've got to wait for some new episodes.

Although it looks like I'll have to Meteor episodes to hold me over in the meantime.
