Captain Star (TUGS)

Captain Star (TUGS)

Captain Star is a fictional character from the 1989 children's series TUGS, from the producers of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends: Robert D. Cardona and David Mitton.

Captain Star is the most prominent character in the whole series, due to the fact that he narrates it, doing so in the past tense, and in a way makes it clear that he is no longer at the helm of the fleet, and since the 1920s he has retired. It is unknown whether he is looking back from the actual time the program was released (late eighties) or before, neither is it known who he is recounting his memories to. He narrates all thirteen episodes.

He is obviously a veteran sailor and owns the Star Fleet. He always appears as a loudhailer in the window of the Star dock building. He takes great pride in his fleet, but he knows that it is important to be hard on them in order to succeed. He is usually very defiant and is always very strict if something doesn't go as shipshape as it's supposed too. He has seven tugs and one submarine (from 4th July onwards), they are: Ten Cents (1), Big Mac (2), O.J. (3), Top Hat (4), Warrior (5), Hercules (6), Sunshine (7) and Grampus (submarine).

Captain Star is performed by veteran voice actor Patrick Allen, known throughout the world by his distinctive voice.

In "Salty's Lighthouse" the captain was actually a female character along with Sunshine and Little Ditcher, being voiced by Lenore Zann.

In the Japanese version he was voiced by Rokurō Naya.
