rdfs:comment
  • Though this rendition is abhorred even more so than the other FOX Kids redub, even to the point that Gerry Anderson demanded his name be blurred from the credits, the voice acting of the characters from the original 1965 series is at least much more competent than the previous modernizing attempt.
  • The second attempt to modernise the classic Thunderbirds series for a 1990's American audience, Turbocharged Thunderbirds is a combination of mixing original Supermarionation footage with specially-filmed live-action inserts. As with the 1994 Fox Kids repackage, all existing audio was removed and redubbed with new voice actors and musical cues.

  • The second attempt to modernise the classic Thunderbirds series for a 1990's American audience, Turbocharged Thunderbirds is a combination of mixing original Supermarionation footage with specially-filmed live-action inserts. As with the 1994 Fox Kids repackage, all existing audio was removed and redubbed with new voice actors and musical cues. In contrast to the successful Mystery Science Theatre 3000 parody series, this union of classic and new footage was mixed to give the impression both puppet and human cast were communicating with one-another, as opposed to strictly watching the adventures play out on a screen and give humorous commentary as they went along.
  • Though this rendition is abhorred even more so than the other FOX Kids redub, even to the point that Gerry Anderson demanded his name be blurred from the credits, the voice acting of the characters from the original 1965 series is at least much more competent than the previous modernizing attempt.
