Thomas and The Circus

Cooper has discovered YouTube on my phone. He is obsessed with watching clips of little kids re-enacting Thomas episodes with their train sets. With this, he has also developed a keen eye for film (read: bossing Mom around regarding how to properly capture his Thomas love).

His first creation is titled, "Thomas and The Circus". When Cooper watched our final version, I asked him if that was an acceptable title and he informed that it was not. The actual title of the film according to Cooper is, "Thomas and The Circus and The Hippo Rolled Off The Freight Car to The Fire Station". I decided to shorten the title for editing purposes. I hope he doesn't object too much.

Before I introduce this film, I must warn you that it is a little slow moving in parts. But if you have ever watched an actual Thomas episode, you will understand that it's a lot like watching paint dry (in my humble opinion of course). Coop's version is actually spiced up a bit which says a lot about how I feel about the actual show. Of course, like any smart Film Creator would do, he's left you hanging in the end. A true cliff hanger leaves the viewer wanting more! Oh, there will be more. Trust me on this one.

Enjoy!

Wow, he is way more into the trains than my kids are. My kids assemble the tracks and then don't seem to care that trains actually travel over those tracks. I wish they did what Coop does.

He is so sweet. I love him!! I can't wait to see him in real life one day.
