I've been watching this series since I was 5. I'm 13 now, but I still can't get enough of it! I just love the series. Many people hate the new animated episodes. I don't understand why. It's not like it changed much. It's still about a little blue tank engine and his friends, going on awesome adventures. And the bouncing technique that is also seen in Chuggington doesn't bother me at all. (Despite the fact that I hate Chuggington so much) I even like the imagination sequences that is now seen in every episode since series 22. Overall I give my favorite series 5 stars!!!
