I don’t know. I would boycott the show if the new stories and dialogue in the stories are terrible or if they drastically change Thomas and the other characters’ outward apperances. CGI, is just another animation platform isn’t all bad….done right it can be very realistic and also cost-effective for the animation studio to do and make lots of episodes. The traditional Thomas “live action” with the model trains and clay faces are also good, and it is a cherish art-form that you don’t see much on TV anymore and is a classic. But these days, TV stations and production executives are all about saving money $$$. I would boycott Thomas only if the new stories are unfaithful to Thomas the Tank Engine and the wonderful island of Sodor that Rev. W. V. Awdry (the author & creator) made.
