Thomas the Tank Engine's Dark Origins
The innocent Thomas the Tank Engine series is critiqued for underlying dark themes stemming from its creator's idealization of 19th-century British society to escape progressiveness, showcasing disturbing scenarios like in 'The Sad Story of Henry' where anthropomorphized trains face severe consequences for minor offenses.
