    Mattel wouldn't be such a bad owner would it?

    Disney would make Thomas ten times more worse, my guess they'll make the characters more americanised and it will take away the British background of TTTE for the world.

    Tomy may not be a bad choice, after all, they did had a wonderful wide range of battery Thomas toys before Fisher Price took over. After all some fans of the show did collect them and I did as well. Mattel's not bad either, they would be better than Disney. Have you seen their channel? It's bad!

    An interesting thought, and probably the only way Thomas fans like us would accept Thomas with Disney, would be if Pixar was in charge of everything Thomas! Good thought that will never happen, maybe... :P
