The Little Steam Engine from Daisyland

April 9, 2011 by chec

layla.miltsov.org translated by Layla AbdelRahim To John Zerzan, whose ability for empathy took him beyond the symbolic of children’s books and propaganda, who even as a child knew the pain endured by Thomas the Tank Engine as he was being domesticated, his will broken – I dedicate this translation to John and to all who have not wasted their spring, summer, or life. June 2008

    I wonder if any1 could link to an unsubbed version, i know it exists here on youtube. I just dont know the name of the vid or this cartoons original name. The subs is obstructing alot of the animation, thats why ; )

    That was really wonderful. Thank you

  11. 3axim says:

    I think that would make Thomas industrialised, not domesticated

    @worldofsimulacra
    hm makes sense, thanks for filling me in.

  13. worldofsimulacra says:

    @pazomblez I think it refers to the fact that Thomas the Tank Engine is representative of a domesticated, civilized mindset – being “useful” and productive, always under obedience to authority, etc., all of which Zerzan is against.

    What language is this??????????????????????????

  15. disneyrangerblue02 says:

    What a delightful cartoon. Bluemango123 is right, the message in it is lovely. We really should take time to enjoy the little things in life.

    My family has slipped through my weak and flimsy fingertips forever
    I dont belong in this suffocated box of lost memories any longer
    The gentle consistency of fresh snow only empowers and captures my thought into every icicle
    I must escape
    I must escape and leave my past memories in the treads I make in the fresh snow behind me
    ( poetry on a photograph)

    this tripped me out. good cartoon though, i like the message. don’t get the Zerzan Thomas the tank engine reference though.

    Me encantan estas caricaturas, que hermosas eran. Dejaban algo bueno en la inocencia de los niños que las veian.

  22. ctmajka says:

    This really was great. Cartoons like this have truly gone away.

  23. digimaks says:

    Yes. Russian. well actually Soviet, since it was done back then :)

    I grew up with those cartoons and those songs!
    Too bad right now our Russian film and cartoon industry are so intoxicated with all that holywood ideas of making business out of art and all that ” RATUNG” competition nonsence… Very sad. Very.
