how did Thomas the Tank Engine get successful?
i may have grown up with it and watched the shows, dont remember much but the fact the show is of living toys that are alive long before toystory and the first ever narrator show ever. wooden figures as humans, not alot going on in a dead world, then the added villains and lore. got pretty dark with them being alive with fear and retiring than death and worked to death. but looking back at it now, it looks pretty boring

I blame the unchecked rise and spread of its core audience.

I dunno, why did blue's clues get popular? Why did gumby? Why did barney the purple dinosaur? Why was bananas in pajamas a thing? Why did snorks? Or jabber jaw? Or smurfs, or gummy bears...

Agree.
"Thomas train" might be overrated.
"once upon a time life" is underrated. : P

Wasn't this a offshoot of 'Once upon time - Man'

Thomas is a train, kids love trains.

Over $1 billion annual retail sales related to the franchise (according to 2012 and 2016 reports). Don't forget that Thomas the Tank Engine is not just a show but also toys, stationery, clothing lines, books and games.
