Thomas the Tank Engine gets steamed
During the weekend, my 4-year-old son watched a Thomas the Tank Engine video. The narrator of the stories was Alec Baldwin, recently in the news for his tirade on his daughter's voicemail.
Baldwin is a good narrator for kids' stuff. He has a clear, calm voice that is easy to understand and doesn't intimidate the kids. But as he was talking about Thomas and his friend Percy's adventures, I couldn't help but think of something like this:
Percy: "Thomas, I don't think I can help you pull those freight cars."
Thomas: "You rude, thoughtless pig! I'm gonna straighten your (expletive) out when I see you, do you understand me?"
