	Thunderbirds TV Show - Thunderbirds Television Show - TV.com
		Thunderbirds was produced by Gerry Anderson and was the culmination of his Supermarionation process, which used marionette puppets instead of live actors.
		Originally intended for children, the show still has a devoted fanbase of adult viewers, both in the United Kingdom where it originated and in the United States, where it was syndicated in the 1960s and 70s.
		Thunderbirds was a major part of my childhood.

	Thunderbirds (TV series) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thunderbirds is a mid-1960s Sylvia and Gerry Anderson television show which used a form of puppetry called "Supermarionation".
		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 (film) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thunderbirds is a Universal Pictures release based upon the Thunderbirds television series of the 1960s, directed by Jonathan Frakes.
		The movie is essentially a science fiction adventure aimed at the very young, but with a great number of "in jokes" and references for the older generation which grew up with the original series.
		The Thunderbirds craft, as well as Tracy Island, were also seen to be very close to the style of the original designs.

		Thunderbirds was the fourth and by far the most successful of the children's series made by AP Films (APF) for the British television company ATV.
		Thunderbirds had been in production for several months when ATV boss Lew Grade was shown the completed pilot episode, "Trapped In The Sky" and he was so excited with the result that he immediately instructed Anderson and his team to expand all the episodes from 25 minutes to 50 minutes.
		Some of the main Thunderbird vehicles were built by a professional model-making firm, but many others were complex radio-controlled kits built by Meddings and his team, who pioneered the technique of adapting commercially available models and miniature vehicles, 'customising' them by applying pieces from commercial model kits to add convincing surface detail.

	London theatre show Thunderbirds FAB on stage in London's West End Aldwych theatre - ticket buying and theater guide (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Thunderbirds FAB was seen originally in the West End at the Ambassadors Theatre where it played for seven months (September 1991 to April 1992) before returning for a further two months in 1993 at the Apollo Theatre.
		To get us in the space-race mood of the Sixties in which Thunderbirds was born, and to bulk out the two-hour show, we are initially given a 25-minute tabletop re-enactment of the first manned moon landing, narrated by Robertson and performed by Dawson with only his hands and upper torso.
		Thunderbirds FAB is an affectionate, good-natured show with really funny moments, but it seems like the sort of thing you'd have caught in an arts centre 20 years ago.

	Filmtracks: Thunderbirds (Hans Zimmer)
		Thunderbirds: (Hans Zimmer) When the original "Thunderbirds" television series aired from 1964-1966 in Britain, it used a technique called "supermarionation" that combined marionettes, models, and special effects to create the illusion of live-action actors and big budget sequences.
		People who found the television series intolerably silly might find the new film version to be too cheesy for their liking.
		Thunderbirds is very much the same way, constantly reaching for the next major key note, the next statement of positive theme, the next tingling sound effect.

		THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO ($30) is one of those really cool DVD releases that could get lost amongst a sea of blockbusters and other classic and not so classic titles coming to disc.
		The THUNDERBIRDS television series was coolness personified, as it combined action, adventure, science fiction and just a bit of comedy to tell the story of International Rescue, a super-secret, but benevolent organization operated by former astronaut Jeff Tracy and his sons Alan, Gordon, John, Scott and Virgil.

		She knew of a new children's television show being put together by novelist Roberta Leigh and urged the partners to bid for the sub-contract to produce the show.
		Again it was success and the team decided to try science fiction with their next project, Supercar – but this time, Granada were wary and refused to fund the project, again leaving AP Films financially vulnerable.
		Thunderbirds [1964 - 1966] refined many of the techniques that Anderson and his team had already developed became a fully-fledged cult, essential viewing for kids everywhere in the 1960s and way beyond, the show constantly being revived, re-run and remade well into the new millennium.

	THUNDERBIRDS \| A TELEVISION HEAVEN REVIEW
		In 1965 co-creator/producer Gerry Anderson crossed the invisible creative line between children's and adult's television entertainment with the premiere of the 32, hour long episode’s of an action adventure series named Thunderbirds.
		Dedicated to the preservation of life in situations beyond the resources of conventional rescue techniques, IR, with its fabulous, technologically advanced fleet of Thunderbird craft, engendered a cross-generational legion of avid followers, which belied the fiberglass reality of its cast of ‘actors’.
		For Gerry Anderson, Thunderbirds (for good or ill), became the creative yardstick by which all his subsequent productions would be measured.

	Home Theater Forum - HTF Review: Thunderbirds - International Rescue Edition (Recommended) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Thunderbirds television series (which spanned 32 episodes from 1965-1966), brainchild of the innovative Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, utilized highly detailed marionettes and miniatures to bring a futuristic world of intrigue and action to life.
		To be sure, this probably is not one of the more memorable of the Thunderbirds’ rescue missions/adventures, as the International Rescue team disappears for a long period of screen time after the Zero-X safely begins its journey to Mars.
		For my money, Thunderbird 6 is the better film though, and the final sequence exhibits the tension and excitement that were trademarks of the series (the episodes I have seen, anyway).

		Calling themselves "International Rescue", the Tracy family was more popularly known by the various high-tech vehicles that they used: the Thunderbirds, which was also the name of the TV program.
		Knowing that their show had been cancelled, the show creators, Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, produced a feature length film entitled "Thunderbirds Are Go" that was released in British theaters 10 days before the final television episode aired on December 25, 1966.
		Though no new Thunderbirds episodes or feature-length films were ever made using Gerry and Sylvia Anderson's "supermarionation" technique, a steady cult following of the show that has lasted nearly 40 years brought about the production of a live-action version that was released in theaters in 2004.
