Theodore Tugboat (1993–2000)
9/10
If your child is in love with Thomas, then Theodore is a great bet!

Theodore Tugboat is very similar to how Thomas the Tank Engine is set up and in the mid to late 90's, these two even crossed and toys came out that were for use with the Thomas wooden engine set. I purchased some of my toys in 1997, but sadly, these are very hard to find now or if you do find them, they are rather pricey. This series is non-animated, just as Thomas is and has the same type of messages. I have family that are into the Christian-only type movies with a meaning and this is on their list of approved and loved as well, so it seems to appeal to many genres. I personally like it as the Thomas format is loved by my kids (ranging 24 to 2) and this follows it to a T. It expands on the land only theme of Thomas and moves to the harbour that is by the Isle of Sodor, where my kids put their Theodore toys on their Thomas train table system. All in all, this is a great series if you can find it. The producer used to work for Britt Allcroft and this is his spin off, ergo the similarity (from what I understand). This series was also shown in part on the kids show, "Salty's Lighthouse", which is no longer aired as far as I know.
