for Lillie in The Adventures of the Little Engine That Could
Suggested by maxcarter
This is a musical chronicle of a year in life for Tillie the Little Engine That Could and her friends like Disney animated films like Winnie the Pooh and Bambi - made in live action-animation in the style of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends episodes with live actors composited into 1:32 scale model railway sets with engines' faces all 3-D computer animated by performance capture. Some scenes need engines to perform that are only possible via 3-D computer animation, but this film will do what it can with the practical miniatures and models. This film exposits on implications of sentient machine life. Tillie is a blue and yellow 4-4-0 American-type steam engine (like the General and Jupiter) who mainly works the yards of the Anthros Northern and Western Railroad in Nashville. When her close friend Georgia (a 4-4-0 like New York Central's #999) breaks down pulling the charity train for children over the mountains in Cumberland; Tillie steps up and believes in herself when all the other engines chicken out to take it over the mountains. After that; Tillie, Georgia and the other engines have some very unusual adventures together to make their railway run while trying to stop a diabolical diesel from taking it over at every turn.
