	Thunderbirds (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thunderbirds Are Go.net Titled "Calling International Rescue," this fansite features the "autobiographies" of the Tracys as seen on "The Best Of Thunderbirds" DVD and many of the captions used in the TechTV version of the series.
		Thunderbirds was the fourth children's action-adventure series made by AP Films (APF) (at the time of production renamed Century 21 Productions) for the British production company ITC Entertainment and Clearwater Features, and first broadcast on ATV, and it remains by far their most successful and enduringly popular production.
		Thunderbirds had been in production for several months when ITC Entertainment boss Lew Grade was shown the completed pilot episode, "Trapped In The Sky" and he was reportedly so excited with the result that he immediately instructed Anderson and his team to expand all the episodes from 25 minutes to 50 minutes.

	Thunderbirds - Character Figurines based on the legendary TV series
		The orange Thunderbird 3 is a vehicle capable of flying into space and the yellow Thunderbird 4 is an underwater scout craft carried as part of the rescue equipment in Thunderbird 2.
		Thunderbirds were created by Gerry Anderson and the original television series was first aired in 1965.
		The silver-grey Thunderbird 1 is always first on the scene when a rescue is in progress carrying its mobile control console from which operations can be directed.

	Thunderbirds (2004)
		And indeed while the tv series is set around the Thunderbirds conducting various hi-tech rescue operations, this is something marginalized in the film - there's a couple of rescue operations at either end of the show, but the majority of the film is really about the kids running around the island.
		The main characters of the tv series, the Tracy Brothers (excepting Alan) and the father, are isolated on Thunderbird 5 and almost entirely written out for the duration of the show - in fact they get so little screen time that we are never even introduced to half of them by name.
		The series was also spun off into two theatrical movies, Thunderbirds Are Go (1966) and Thunderbird 6 (1968).

		The concept of the THUNDERBIRDS TV series was that a wealthy philanthropist by the name of Jeff Tracy lived with his five sons on a secret island that formed the base of their global rescue organization.
		As time went on the look of the puppets evolved from caricature to realism, finally giving way to real actors in the shows UFO and SPACE:1999, who, predictably enough, played second fiddle to the spacecraft and other gadgetry around them.
		If you’re a THUNDERBIRDS enthusiast interested in the movie for its CGI depiction of the five rescue craft doing their thing and you can accept the necessity of replacing the marionettes with live actors then you might figure that the film could be enjoyable simply as a revisitation of a childhood memory.

	Thunderbirds (2004) Movie Review - RopeofSilicon.com
		The TV show Thunderbirds, may be best known for its use of "supermarionation" (a special puppetry technique), which you may recognize from its recent use in TV commercials for Travelocity.
		However, when the Thunderbirds are deployed on a fake mission by their arch nemesis The Hood (Sir Ben Kingsley) it is up to Allan and his friends to save the world.
		As for the rest of us, Thunderbirds is a largely un-interesting picture that features a loosely arranged plot, determined to feature every one of the Thunderbird's special rescue vehicles, rather than focus on entertaining its audience.

	thunderbirds_set.html
		This movie goes beyond the usual Thunderbird TV fare - for example it’s their own members that International Rescue must save this time, though they also manage to kill a number of baddies.
		The concept behind the Thunderbirds was a family, the Tracys, who ran their own high tech first response service called International Rescue, featuring six really neat sci-fi vehicles ranging from a space platform to a submarine and most points between.
		The stories, looking back on them (and having watched these movies based on the TV show), were pretty silly, but to adolescents looking for just such far out adventures as the Andersons gave us, they were wonderful toys.

		Thunderbird 6 was the second feature spin-off from the hit Gerry Anderson puppet-animation TV series Thunderbirds, and revolved around a new addition to the line-up of International Rescue's five emergency craft.
		Thunderbirds Are Go followed the remarkable success of the Thunderbirds television series, bringing the three-dimensional puppet animation adventures of International Rescue to the big screen.
		The deep love that young boys feel for planes, cars, and gadgets is the driving energy of Thunderbirds, a live-action movie based on the British puppet TV show of the 1960s.

		These issues are permeating the reality cop shows and the ones that mix footage from a variety of rescue/emergency response teams as will be discussed.
		By the end of the 1980s, the reality based cop shows were beginning to appear, starting with those that drew their cases from police and FBI files to those that reenacted real crimes using actors and sometimes actual victims and their families.
		Looking back over the history of crime shows on television, the roots of the current "reality-based" cop shows are evident.

		The TV series was created by Gerry Anderson, who deployed his super-marionation techniques (a marionette with electronic eyes and lips) to great effect.
		A live-action film version of the 1960s children's TV show is to go into production after several years in development.
		The string-operated wooden dolls will make way for real actors but much will stay the same - the Tracys will run International Rescue from a South Sea island and move around in Thunderbirds 1,2,3 and 4.

		TV fan site MediaVillage.com is launching a nationwide online effort to generate support for TV Watch, a new non-partisan group urging Americans to use parental controls that are easily available in most TV sets and cable/satellite set-top boxes.
		When these programs originally premiered, several TV stations across the country refused to air them in response to threats from local leaders, finally bowing to public pressure after they became huge popular hits and opponents were faced down.

	Sequential Tart: Atsukamashii Onna - Why Do Manga and Anime Characters Look the Way They Do? (vol VI/iss 12/December 2003)
		Although the earliest anime series to be shown on American TV, Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy, Speed Racer, and (in some markets) Eighth Man and Gigantor, featured mostly dark-haired human characters, they were drawn in a relatively cartoony, Disney-influenced style which made it easy to assume that all the cast members were Caucasian.
		Although Rei, the Japanese Self-Defense Force rescue expert protagonist of Tamura's recent series, Chicago (Viz), is an adult, her perpetually glistening eyes are easily two or three times the size of those of any of the male characters in the strip.
		This tends to be the case in such series whether the individual female character in question is actually as sensitive and sympathetic as the oversized "windows to her soul" suggest or not.

		Sequels: Thunderbird 6 (1968), and TV-movies “Thunderbirds To The Rescue”, “Countdown To Disaster”, and “Revenge Of The Mysterons From Mars.” All but the first two were not seen in theaters as far as I know with the possible exception of special fan showings.
