This account is for all the information there is to know about the Finnish dub of Thomas. I decided to make this out of boredom.

TATMR was never dubbed into Finnish. Which is why I'm working on a big project. a passion project I've been working on for two years. and it should be completed next year. Here's a sneak peek.

it's being done at the studio. and James is voiced by an official VA Tommi Haapaniemi

[FinnishThomasFacts @FINTTTEFacts]

@nwrxj9 for Finland's case. the seasons were usually done for TV channels (except for S8-10 & S22). S15 was the last season to be dubbed for MTV3 due to lower viewership. so MTV3 saw no point of getting new episodes.

the movies were done by SF studios (the company for the DVDs)

[FinnishThomasFacts @FINTTTEFacts]

Due to the fact that S16-18 were never dubbed into Finnish. these are Stafford's only appearances in the dub

I watched Boomerang bumpers like this as a child and you expect me to be normal 😂

[FinnishThomasFacts @FINTTTEFacts]

Here's some random scenes from the Findub 😅

[FinnishThomasFacts @FINTTTEFacts]

Fun fact. I'm friends with the Finnish VA of Toby from AEG. I first met his father for the interview I made.

after the interview I asked his dad if he could voice in my Findub of Tugs. He accepted it. and through him I met his son. where he voiced Boomer from Tugs in my dub ^^

this S15 DVD was also supposed to be released in December but that got canceled as well.

But unlike SLOTLT. season 15 was fully dubbed into Finnish. it only aired through television. you can find the episodes in the streaming service site MTV Katsomo. but you have to pay for it

[FinnishThomasFacts @FINTTTEFacts]

By the way if anyone's asking about where did I get this info about SLOTLT.

in 2015. I reached out to SF studios (the distribution company for Thomas DVDs here). I asked them when the special was coming out to Finland. according to them. it was supposed to come in 2015 or 2016

[FinnishThomasFacts @FINTTTEFacts]

S16-18 were never shown in Finland. although we did get the specials from those seasons.

TOTB ended up being the last Thomas product to be shown over here (until TOTB). SLOTLT was supposed to be dubbed and get a DVD release too but unfortunately. that got canceled

[FinnishThomasFacts @FINTTTEFacts]

Fun fact. Kana is called "Saana" in the Finnish dub of AEG.

But that's not even the fun part. the fun part is actually that the word "Kana" means chicken in Finnish 🤭

[FinnishThomasFacts @FINTTTEFacts]

or better known as Kuffy the Clown. you could also say it's Mr. Bubbles but idk 🤪

[FinnishThomasFacts @FINTTTEFacts]

Mr. Giggles shares the same name with Charlie Chalk in the Finnish dub.

that being Kalle-klovni (Kalle the clown)

Here's all the names that were translated. most of them were changed. the newer names ended up being used for the television show

[FinnishThomasFacts @FINTTTEFacts]

Before the show came out in Finland in 2003.

The first Thomas product to be translated was "Tell the Time with Thomas".

Thomas is not called "Tuomas Veturi" as we know it today, Thomas was named Viljami-veturi. Finnish for "Wilbert". This was later changed in 1998

[FinnishThomasFacts @FINTTTEFacts]

@HunTTTEFacts Same goes for Finnish and all the other dubs (except German and Dutch)

[FinnishThomasFacts @FINTTTEFacts]

S1-4 were the only seasons in the whole show to have a director in the studio. until KOTR.

from S5 to BMM. Aku Laitinen was given the creative freedom to narrate the show in his own style without being directed. the audio editors were ofc still in the room

[FinnishThomasFacts @FINTTTEFacts]

Trevor is called Teppo. However there have been few slip-ups with his name being called Tero (in S9 and few other books). Tero is actually the Finnish name for Terence.

In S22. Trevor was randomly given a new name that was more closer to his original name. that being Teuvo

[FinnishThomasFacts @FINTTTEFacts]

Thank you for all your support! this project won't have been possible without my friends (as VAs). and especially my partner who translated everything. and made it into the script.

all of this is being done without any payment. if you have any questions. ask away!

@cartycinema @dirtyobjects5 Oh it would be an honor! I would love that very much! ^^

[FinnishThomasFacts @FINTTTEFacts]

in the episode Thomas and the Birthday Picnic. Aku Laitinen copies the way Angelis says "Thomas".

Here's the comparison between them

[FinnishThomasFacts @FINTTTEFacts]

I forgot to add this here.

Tuomas - Henri V. Elo (CadeDubs/Cabettaja)
Diesel 10 - Dubberi
