I have the entire collection on my computer, and not ashamed to say it. LOVE them still.

I do note of late many popular shows going BACK to models and stop frame animation. Thomas the Tank engine went from th classic models, to CGI garbage, and then due to a storm of protests, have returned to the models again, just adding the train faces and the contollers with CGI.

I also love how some Hollywood produers are going back to real stunts and sets again, seeing o many of us detest CGI. Who for instance could watch the latest Star Trek movie and enjoy it with all that CGI? I couldn't.

About the only movie I think actually worked OK with CGI was Prometheus, though originally, much of it was done the traditional way before Fox decided CGI would be better (which it wasn't, but still worked OK anyway)

Ah... Lady Penelope! And the shady Parker. I watch it still whenever I am up early.

Apparently you can watch them online as well, here:
