Thunderbirds: The Anniversary Episodes
Released as part of ITV’s Thunderbirds 50th anniversary celebration. Now streaming on ITVX in the UK and available on the Thunderbirds 60th Anniversary Collectors Edition Blu-ray set from Anderson Entertainment.
In partnership with Century 21 Films, we produced new “long lost” episodes of the classic sci-fi series, pairing 1960s vinyl record audio adventures (that only existed as audio) with brand new visuals. Created with the blessings of original Thunderbirds co-creator Sylvia Anderson and the Gerry Anderson Estate, and launched with a successful Kickstarter campaign, we meticulously recreated puppet characters, sets and model miniature effects to match the originals using a wide range of techniques — from hand sculpting to digital modelling. We even had some of the original 1960s series crew working with us!
Our episodes premiered at the British Film Institute and led to new licensed merchandise and a Japanese nationwide cinema, streaming, television broadcast and home media release.
