I'm definitely with you there, Jeffrey. As far as I'm concerned, best Thomas movie is either The Adventure Begins or Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure - one for all its throwbacks and the fact that it's a retelling of the first two books, and the other for being a true epic by Thomas standards.

[@MsCreepyChan]

The reason the characters faces didn't move back in the 80's was partially due to practicality, but mainly it was because Britt wanted the stories to take on the form of a story-book. Nothing moves in a book, which is also why they had a single narrator doing the voices, to simulate a parent reading their child a bed-time story. The problem with this was that Britt wanted to make an episode of Thomas The Tank Engine, but with a bigger budget, but the executives wanted her to make a big-budget remake of Shining Time Station

[@papershadow]

I feel like a "huge budget episode" idea for the production isn't a doomed concept, but it's mostly jarring when they put them next to human actors, as that's when they visibly clash even if you don't think something is "off" about the still mouths on their own.

[@royalproductions8704]

i think they should had adaptaded "Thomas and the Evil Diesel"

[@supermariof0521]

@Waylon Smithers Except magic was never an aspect of "The Railway Series/Thomas & Friends". Aside from the sentient trains, the Island of Sodor was fairly down to earth. Not to mention having Sodor be reestablished as another dimension rather the North Western Railway in Northern England is why this movie makes the bouncing from "Journey Beyond Sodor" look tame by comparison when regards to how unrealistic things have gotten throughout "Thomas & Friends". Like why couldn't Muffle Mountain instead be located somewhere on the mainland? What if instead Lady was already sentient and much like Henry, needed Welsh coal to be able to get up and running again? There are so many things that could've made this premise feel arguably more in line with "Thomas & Friends", then the elusive Director's Cut. Because when I think of "Thomas the Tank Engine", I don't think of what could pretty much be the same premise as the "Super Mario Bros." movie. (which was also terrible). That being that two worlds are connected by some magic artifact and some @$$hole wants to destroy it, not realizing the consequences. Not to mention, why did Britt Alcroft think that adding in "Shining Time Station" was a good idea? I know it was kinda popular in the US, but in reality, once the first batch of VHS tapes for "Thomas & Friends" hit retail in the early 90's, everyone just sorta forgot about "Shining Time Station", and US audiences knew Thomas the same way UK audiences recognized him, while "Shining Time Station" was about as relevant as the Wii U.

Personally I was fine with the lack of mouth movement, and still am because it's just like the original show. However I do understand why others like yourself did not. Also I finally understand what the hell Shining Town was! Never heard of the show so I always found it weird how there was a random town in the movie and why Mr Conductor could teleport with a whistle....like a Warp Whistle from Super Mario Bros 3....surprised I never made that connection as a child. Anyways, looking back on this movie, it really was terrible and it's not like the Star Wars Prequels where there are some good moments as well as lightsabers to be entertaining. This has nothing besides memories of watching it as a kid. :P

When he retired I worked at his train station as a station master before I went to London and then I worked in the underground. My younger sister takes over. My dad retired at 54 because of his illness and he recived early pension because of illness. He gave me the money from his earned railway keria. My nannie and grandad would put money in.

[@gameoholic1994]

For those who think it's creepy for these engines to have no facial movement in "Thomas and the Magic Railroad," I think you all are overlooking something...... Look up "The Wee Sing Train," AND THEN... THEN TALK TO ME ABOUT FACIAL MOVEMENT ON MODEL TRAINS!!! Especially in TATMR. That's why unlike Jeffrey Kitsch's speech at 7:55-9:05, I actually liked how they kept the faces frozen still between shots in the film. I even enjoyed that as a child. That was how I felt it really was something Thomas-related that I was watching. If they upgraded the faces to be animated, I think the film would he even WORSE than it is already; taking away what made the TV series good, like how the 2005 film of "The Dukes of Hazzard" ruined the goodness of the Dukes' TV series, and how "Dragonball Evolution" disregarded the original manga and anime altogether. P.S.: I didn't like the season 12 decision of animating the faces on the models. Moving faces in full CGI? Fine. Real models with no facial movement? Fine. Models with CGI faces? That makes the characters look UGLY!!! Even their close-ups of CGI-faces look so hideous on real models. And like I said, if their faces moved on the models, I'd probably think it would be "The Wee Sing Train" all over again, and I doubt that I would've liked that.

One question. What do you think of Edwards model not being finished in time for the film as well as Cranky's small cameo, only for both ended up getting cut out?. Also the WWII Thomas movie personally would've been a bad movie. The only thing that really would've made it worth it was to srr how the engines would've looked like in real life.

[@JeffreyKitsch]

I don't really have any thoughts about that. This film would likely have been better if the human characters (Mr Stone, Conductor and Lily) were people living on the Island of Sodor, instead of the island being a sort of alternate universe. In otherwords a movie version of The Railway Series/Thomas & Friends rather than a Shining Time movie.

“Mister Conductor is gonna kill me and then he’s gonna kill you and then he’s gonna fold us up in a pizza and eat us!” Oh wait, wrong Alec Baldwin project. And I cried when I heard the TUGS theme. Holy shit, great add in there! Wonderful!

Thomas and the tragic failroad

[@MidwestSirenProductions]

33:08 participation award to the 0.5% of viewers that get it...oh wait, that's me...

[@BrotherJosephus]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the juggler at Shining Time played by Red Letter Media's Mike Stoklassa?

[@billyaltavator5425]

I loved this movie as a kid. Then i grew up and re watching this in my late 20s i now see the flaws of this movie. It sucks balls

[@wolfclaw719]

This film confused me so mush as a kid because we didn't have the shining time part in Canada it was just all Thomas.

[@milkvanman104]

Thank you for mentioning the back story of Thomas, now people actually know that Thomas is childish...thank you lord! Also, beautiful video review!

[@jvgreendarmok]

11:07 "Can you please divulge the purpose of a can opener?" Oh, I know this one! It's for threatening Diesel 199 (aka "Spamcan") with!

[@Shadowkey392]

Just wanted to point out a mistake you made: you say that Thomas’ theme is the only piece of music by Mike O’Donnell and Junior Campbell used in the film, but the tune “Really Useful Engine” was also written by them for the show.
