TUGS - Flooded

Zip and Zug are sent to recover Ten Cents and Sunshine from a flooded area upriver. Zug is going through a phase of missing his former captain and fleet in Healand, which is a long way from Bigg City. In his state of homesickness, he opts to travel the floodwaters and return to his old home...
TUGS was created by David Mitton & Robert D Cardona & © by TVS & Clearwater Features

Imagine if this was a TUGS episode, would be great and I believe, like everyone else here, that David Mitton would be proud and also Robert D. Cardona too.

[@Silverlink28]

I’m not sure what’s going on with Cardona he’s not dead yet. I just think he wants to live his last years in peace

[@Sodor18]

Bravo, gentlemen. David Mitton would be proud. Keep these stories coming.

[@MagicLampStudios]

I think Mitton thought showing humans would compromise their brilliant model work on the tugs, docks, ships and stuff.

[@eaglewolffox6275]

I love to hear more TUGS stories

[@TheRoyalScotsman6100]

The only thing I disliked about this was that Captain Flake was not in the balloon. I know this may not sound like a big deal, but it would have proved that humans did exist in the TUGS Universe if he was. However, the story was good and shows a softer side of Zug.

[@gregkiteos1936]

I think it's a nice touch and a good homage to the television series.

[@MagicLampStudios]

Practice, man. Practice. I spent three years writing TUGS stories. I learned to make the stories engaging, keep everyone in character and to not make them Thomas-like.

[@AlexKravchenko-uo3ds]

A wonderful story about my favourite Z-Stack. Zug, that is.

[@SuperJacob2006]

Great video. If TUGS were to get a 2nd season, I bet this would've been the 4th episode of season 2 after Fire Hose (which is what Warrior has).

[@HankAmericanEngine]

Very surprising to hear TrainMaster24's music in a TUGS episode, and a remarkable one at that. To hear all varieties of music from Mike O'Donnel & Junior Campbell, it's wonderful in such an incredible episode. Well done.

[@jackjackbt]

After watching it around 2 years later, I can say this is a really good story that expands Zugs backstory. It has nice moments too. When I watched this before and said it was to much like Thomas, I don’t think I even watched the full thing. This now feels like tugs to me.

[@TheSudrianStoryteller]

this was brilliant. nice to see a fan made TUGS story. wish David Mittion was alive, that way maybe he would be proude of people that do these kinda created story they've work so well on, and the series would go on. : )

[@DarthWill3]

That was quite the story! And quite the adaptation!

[@FilmmakeroftheFuture]

Well magic lamp, you’ve granted my wish for more TUGS!

[@joshuaW5621]

Mitton and Cardona would be proud.

[@scifiguy9000]

This is a really great story.

[@stuartbarclay7940]

Jolly good work!

[@MagicLampStudios]

We posted our TUGS stuff on SiF.

[@TWA1945]

This is good! Is the narrator the same person as the person who voiced Derek in EE93's series? Still, great video, good job!

[@BorisFangirl]

Hi, Proteus. Did I forget to tell you that this is truly fantastic?

[@GeebMachine]

Brilliant episode! Will you be doing another one?

[@EdwardsDayOut]

THIS IS AMAZING

[@hampshirenutjob6746]

I read this and the other fanfics you wrote on SiF, they're great! Have you ever thought about making more adaptation of them like this one?

[@vincentberkan605]

Where can I find the other fanfics?

[@annagolaszewska9622]

GREAT VIDEO!

[@0o.sero.o0]

Good❗️

[@Lover-of-Creative-Priorities]

Those stories at the start of 0:07 , Do you have any of those stories into a full episode?

[@MagicLampStudios]

Those are introductary pictures for TUGS stuff written by myself and Christopher (RailRaider1). I needed something to open with, so I used those. I won't be making videos of any of these.

[@vincentberkan605]

You should make another one of these.

[@ThomastheCameraHog]

Well in TUGS, it seems like the people are just megaphones sticking out of windows like Captain Star and Captain Zero

[@kittycatlpsproductions2147]

Wow! Great voice acting and i really like this fanmade episode!♡♥

[@MagicLampStudios]

I will be making another TUGS vid, but it won't be one of the ones shown in the intro. It'll be brand new.

[@TheRoyalScotsman6100]

Yeah, but the humans weren't shown. That's my real disappointment.

[@LighthouseProductions2]

Geesh this and theodore tugboat were the shit in my era

[@trainkid707]

Where do you get the Music from?

[@I_aint_active_no_more]

100th comment right before 100,000 views, get inn

[@ThomasTenCents34526]

TheKipperRunsAgain A.K.A Chris is a great narrator in this vid.

[@TheRoyalScotsman6100]

Well, TUGS did have a lack of girls...

[@bobamilkkitty7360]

Blue Scotsman and that's a good thing

[@AndrewThompson383]

Um what about Lillie Lightship, Sally Seaplane, The Duchess, S.S Vienna

[@bobamilkkitty7360]

Foduck The Vigilante SS Vienna is fine. She doesn't steal my boyfriends

[@TheRoyalScotsman6100]

KawaiiTUGSKitty Girl Suddenly I don’t remember why I posed this. It must have been a response to something.

[@AndrewThompson383]

KawaiiTUGSKitty Girl who is your boyfriends UwU

[@ThomastheCameraHog]

Well if its sopposed to be like TUGS, I guess there are no humans. Plus, wouldn't it make it harder to draw? If it would be hard to draw a tugboat it would be hard to draw a detailed person.

[@iron1349]

Yeah, humans are heard and not seen

[@stokesjack]

This was really good, are there any more stories like this?

[@onekneeta]

were did you get top hat's whistle

[@yoitzemma2325]

15:41 sunshine’s face: 😏

[@iron1349]

Did Billy Shoepack save the day by STOPPING an explosion?

[@OliverDuck267]

where can i find more of theys?

[@CherylBeatrice-j4x]

Cheryl b24 ❤

[@markpatton370]

Can you post the link for the stories

[@thebeefshallnotspill]

@MagicLampStudios its amazing is this going to be a series?

[@harrishyatt6283]

Will there be an episode with captain flake, and see zug's old fleet

[@ThomasandRiofan]

Are all those other titles in the intro(e.g. Sold and Glacier) other stories that you'll be uploading. They all look absolutely brilliant.

[@MagicLampStudios]

@roloboy97 I have in previous works. In the story I'm considering using for a second vid, there are no new tugboat characters.

[@MagicLampStudios]

@roloboy97 Well, I've got a series of stories in text on SiF. This was the fourth one. If I decide to make another one, it'll be a brand new story.

[@MagicLampStudios]

...Sorry. You seem to advicate things that were absent in the TUGS series.

[@hansemist]

Wonder how a US dub would have worked out?

[@nicksclueler2551]

John Arild Hansen

[@JurassicSteamRacer_13]

What kind of trestle bridge was it in the story, was a road or railway trestle bridge?

[@MagicLampStudios]

Railway, I guess.

[@harrishyatt6283]

That is how zug become a z-stack but his name start with a z

[@TheRoyalScotsman6100]

Oh, I see. Do you have any advice for me?

[@TheRoyalScotsman6100]

How do you write such good stories? I'm asking because I too want to make TUGS stories, but don't know how to make them good.

[@owendinostudios1200]

If someone made this in cgi, this could be Tugs CGI

[@thebeefshallnotspill]

wow did u do the art work your self??

[@TheRoyalScotsman6100]

That's my point: it would have proven otherwise if humans had been seen in the basket on-screen.

[@thebeefshallnotspill]

@MagicLampStudios r u planning on bring any new tugs?

[@TheRoyalScotsman6100]

@magiclampstudios I just hope it includes a female tugboat character.

[@PrideOfTheFleet688]

How do I find those other stories at the beginning of the video?

[@MagicLampStudios]

@GeebMachine I'm thinking about it.

[@Station_Master_13]

So where are the other stories that the titles mentioned

[@MagicLampStudios]

Well Captain Flake might not have been in the balloon, but someone was. Otherwise it wouldn't have been stolen.

[@MagicLampStudios]

@roloboy97 Pretty much, yeah.

[@ThomastheCameraHog]

Same way the tie tow ropes i guess.

[@harrishyatt6283]

True. But why tugs was cancelled and why there was no series 2

[@FlyinBlaney]

Lack of money. Tugs was an expensive series, so it cost a lot of money.

[@lukechristmas3951]

0:18 What was the title of that episode with Zorran? It looked like it said "Diamond" or something. Also what are the other episodes (numbers 2, 3, 5, 6, 13, and maybe 10)

[@WindowsXPMapping1]

It did say Diamond

[@WindowsXPMapping1]

And it was 10

[@HornbyFans78]

Do more tugs

[@Lover-of-Creative-Priorities]

why the hell the show got cancelled?

[@harrishyatt6283]

Andrew Santram why clear water productions got bankrupt and why was tugs cgi cancelled

[@Lover-of-Creative-Priorities]

@Robby Dey I can understand that i mean why when it had such a ball rolling

[@ToadyHere]

Hey how come you discontinue the series

[@storiesfromdifferenteras]

16:38 Zug's Forrest

[@keldeostudies2279]

Will you make another episode I like to call fire caption zero house and dock got on fire by a spark form zip funnel and a pile of wood got on fire and zero dock got catch on fire and at the end the caption zero made a knew dock infront of the star dock

[@rosettaadderley3794]

Its weird zug old captains fleet balloon logo is a snowflakes

[@slyguy4thewin]

2 rules of tugs: 1. People are megaphones 2. All tugs are male

[@harrishyatt6283]

No some tugs are females

[@sirwelcome]

harris hyatt Which ones?

[@sirwelcome]

@That train Guy Why are you replying to a 2 year old comment?

[@sirwelcome]

@That train Guy That doesn't answer my question

[@sirwelcome]

@That train Guy But why only now after 2 years?

[@jackjackbt]

It’s an amazing story but it just feels to much like Thomas the train. Edit: no it doesn’t

[@ThomasandRiofan]

Why, because judging by the numbers on the pictures you and Chrisother have written atleast 12 of these, have you just wrote them for no reason or are you planning to do something else with them besides make a video.
