Thomas the Tank Engine's Message to All the Sprout Fans (2016)

== Transcript ==
* Thomas: Hello! I'm Thomas, and I've got some big news for you. I had decided it's time for me to hand out for our on-air teacher jobs to a new generation that Sprout will be Universal Kids, I'll continue to sing, dance, play games, play-along and make music for you just like I've had. I've had a great time singing, dancing and playing along for children all around the states for 21 years. A lot can happen in 21 years. I've done more than 21 seasons, performed in lots and lots of states and some of our earliest fans have even grown up to be moms and dads, grandparents themselves. It is a long time. I've been lucky enough to entertain almost a million of people each year all around the states of America. But this is meant I've had to spent a lot of time away from your own family and friends. All of you kids out here miss Patty and I have decided it's time for me to spend some more time at being an on-air teacher. So I'm planning my final time on the new year so you and your family and friends can all come and say goodbye and then there will be 3 new on-air teachers joining in that Sprout will be Universal Kids next year. But don’t tell that pesky moose and that blue birdie friend from next door. I am still here to stay. I'm gonna be keeping my on-air teacher sheets and we'll be singing, playing games, joining along, reading, creating, sharing, caring, exploring, discovering, counting, doing science, have an adventure and dancing just like before. I'm excited about meeting 3 new on-air teacher PPGs for you to get to know and I will still be here at the NBCUniversal headquarters helping create new songs, new dances, new experiences and new friends for you to enjoy. I can't wait for my final time on May 1 and I'm really excited to be introducing you to Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup, the Powerpuff Girls who'll be on-air teachers on Universal Kids for next year. Most importantly, I really want to say a huge thank you to all of you, our fans. I've had so much fun over the past 21 years. It's been a great playdate on Sprout. I'm very lucky I'm a very lucky tank engine. But we still have a few days left before I leave on Universal Kids with the Powerpuff Girls. You can find details about me doing live shows at my website "www.sprout.com". I hope to see you there. (Thomas' whistle blows.)
