The Complete Thunderbirds

About This Movie

So, The Complete Thunderbirds is really an interesting piece. It’s not just a compilation; this is where Hideaki Anno made his mark early on, and you can feel that unique touch in the editing. The film stitches together various episodes, creating a flow that’s different from the original series. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, but it’s like a nostalgic ride through those action-packed moments with the puppetry that everyone knows. There's this distinct atmosphere – a blend of adventure and a bit of that campy charm that the Thunderbirds are known for. You see the practical effects in all their glory, which is fascinating when you consider today’s CGI-heavy landscape. It’s a fascinating artifact for collectors who appreciate the evolution of animation and storytelling.
