I don't understand why they'd need to re-do the narration really... the guy was a Beatle for crying out loud, and surely american kids can understand him.
But Ringo strikes me as a lot more wholesome than George Carlin, which is why Carlin is much more jarring for me.
I understand that Ringo no longer narrates the Thomas series... According to IMDb, Michael Angelis (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0029617/) narrated from 1991-1995, and there have been no English narrators since.
