Thomas and the Missing Christmas Tree (RWS vs T&F) (Spot the Differences)

[@conductorcarson]

And now “spot the differences” has officially come to an end! The perfect finale!! But we will miss it all!

[@ethanrocket430]

Thomas and Trevor, that’s all I have to say

[@sarahhockey02]

Wait it’s the end?

[@conductorcarson]

@@sarahhockey02 I think so. No other books were adapted for television after this one.

Have you ever considered doing Spot the differences videos on Andrew Brenner’s Magazine stories compared to the Tv Show adaptations in Season 3 & 5?

[@gamecubeboy9708]

I suppose he could also do one for The Adventure Begins comparing it to the Railway Series Books and the Season 1 Adaptations. But I guess we'll have to see .

[@SodorTrain1225]

6:40 Ringo: I want no "whEEEeeeshing" please. That always cracks me up.

[@Mskart109]

With that... It's time to say goodbye to this series for good... It was fun but things can't last forever... But amazing work

[@hudsontrainguy1217]

A beautiful way to end the spot the differences show, thank you Jeffery for making this wonderful series to the entire Thomas Fandom

[@khorcalson6656]

I love your “Spot The Differences” series. I have a suggestion for the next one. How about a “Spot The Differences” video on The Adventure Begins, a retelling movie from 2015? Keep up the good work.

[@thomasfune3383]

Love this and previous video. What a way to end Spot the Differences after 3 years.

[@permvw]

It feels like a chapter or should that be story has come to an end , but what an ending. As ever thank you for doing these Jeffrey, they truly are the finest cocoa 🎉10/10

[@bennythevultureofficial]

I want to say thank you so much for doing a spot the differences video for the television series adaptation of "Thomas and the Missing Christmas Tree" after doing a spot the differences video for the television series adaptation of "Thomas' Christmas Party".

[@Ryder-a-Blaze]

“Henry poo poos” I’m so immature for laughing at that

[@markfowler1951]

Very Nice video, I like the Episode Thomas and The Missing Christmas Tree. And this is definitely a excellent spot the difference. Keep up the good work!

[@NintendoGamer2600]

Wait, Britt and Mitton wrote Thomas' Christmas Party first? And then Wilbert? Damn, never would've expected that in a million years.

[@MrStuFew]

Yep. The only time that ever happened.

[@josephmarrison4606]

A beautiful end to your Spot The Difference Series Jeffrey.

[@Ryder-a-Blaze]

Diesel was invited to the Christmas party despite getting sent away and Daisy was just discarded and forgotten about

[@callum110597]

I used to have a later edition of the book, so I could tell it does not show Thomas getting buried in the avalanche. And the story is one of my favourite Christmas specials, especially for Thomas! I also did not realise that directional error of Donald and Douglas... but I am not too bothered anyway. I think both the book and TV versions are awesome! (By the way, funny you put in the Postman Pat theme song with Henry pulling a passenger train, then "Merry Xmas Everybody" by Slade when the lights at Tidmouth Station come on.)

[@UsefulEngine11]

Another fantastic Spot the Difference Jeffrey I was thinking you were going to do this one but I wasn't totally sure looks like I was right. Unlike Thomas's Christmas party this version of Thomas and the missing Christmas tree this one I haven't looked up on, though I did know it existed. Either way another fantastic video and once again Merry christmas.

[@gregkiteos1936]

The Class 47 diesel bringing the tree to Sodor is the works diesel; so, Thomas must have collected it from the works.

[@jovialpictures1997]

I hope The Finest Cocoa makes a return someday.

[@brenlc1412]

3:30 Thank you VERY much for the Shed 17 jumpscare.

[@sashathetankengine]

Well… this is the end of spot the differences… Unless you decide to spot the differences between the magazine stories and the adaptations but only time will tell. Merry Christmas Jeffery!

[@eslm-studios2996]

Wee disclaimer, it's the other way round. Gordon mentions the possibility of Thomas being stuck in the tunnel, which was why Henry 'whistled loudly indignantly, then he suggests the branch line and Donald suggests the cow.

[@thomassimpson95]

The Ladybird Book is far different to the episode, and is actually closer to the original book instead, featuring scenes of Donald and Douglas passing Percy, Toby and Duck as well as mentioning how they wanted to rest at a station.

[@TheBritFromOz008]

It also contains images of these scenes which I believe were taken specifically for the book, rather than being filmed for the episode and cut for time.

[@Jude-72]

Actually I believe that the diesel is the works diesel which is owned by topham because he appears in James and the diesel engine as well because the wiki does state the works diesel is an actual character.

[@MikeNicholsonThomas]

A lot was cut in the adaptation as there is only so much you can put in a five-minute episode. Anyway, this episode is also noteworthy for being the final episode of the series narrated by the ex-Beatle himself, Sir Richard Starkey (or Ringo Starr to you and me).

[@joshuaW5621]

Christmas is always the funnest time of the year.

[@zacharyspinks6207]

This is a Good one, a Superb job!, Merry Christmas to You.👍

[@primrosevale1995]

Anyone notice that Bill and Ben were invited to Knapford for whatever reason in the book, despite the fact Thomas wouldn't meet them for another two years?

[@numberjacksoctonauts7138]

We've got one other story by Christopher Awdry adapted for the show: Thomas and Trevor.

[@Ryder-a-Blaze]

Thomas: mmm this is good crack

[@vincentmorris8431]

The diesel bringing the tree, I believe, is known as the Works Diesel from Deep Freeze.

[@danielfotheringhamproducti7368]

Well, a fitting conclusion to the series! What a way to end it!

[@toby.fan9198]

2:57 Correction: Gordon suggests that Thomas got stuck in a tunnel somewhere and then Henry suggested that he must have turned onto a branch line and Donald said that that branch line could have led too a cow. Also, When Donald and Douglas find Thomas, there roles had swapped in the adaptation from Douglas hearing Thomas and Donald assuming it’s the wind, too Donald hearing Thomas and Douglas assuming it’s just the wind.

[@connorflaherty175]

Love the shed 17 shout out.

[@percyfan06]

3:29 That's a really dark thought.

[@andyalex115]

You should do a spot a different from brenners magazine stories that got adapted in season 3 and 5

[@gregkiteos1936]

This book is a direct tie-in to the TV series, which is why Donald and Douglas are painted black instead of blue and there are no characters who were introduced after Series 2.

[@Mullet345]

How did Spong not remember that Donald/Douglas was suppose to be blue when he did the artwork for the book.

[@neat5374]

Merry Xmas to all!

[@ryanmcquade6157]

Was this done as a railway series story between brakevan and the deputation ? My point being this must have been set before Donald and Douglas were painted blue

[@tommynovinsky]

Every story after this is not made for the tv series

[@toby.fan9198]

2:07 Postman Henry

[@Zacman1123]

[@ericfasold805]

No mention of how Donald & Douglas are painted black in the original story?

[@jimmyhook4852]

I KNOW RIGHT?! And even during a Christmas video of all things. >:/ It's just I keep having my oath: Never to watch those two, aka Shed 17 and Project G-1, ever in my entire life.

[@SegaMario]

@@jimmyhook4852 I apologize to everyone out there, but I just want to get this out of my system: Those, plus Sodor Fallout (and the countless AUs inspired by it), are the most god-awful takes on my favourite childhood franchise, period. I hate them, especially Sodor Fallout, so much. Like... why? This is freakin' happy-go-lucky trains with faces we're talking about. Why you gotta do stuff to them that even a parody show wouldn't stoop so low to do? Body horror... *DOES NOT BELONG IN THOMAS!!*

[@jimmyhook4852]

@@SegaMario Though to be fair, I don't find Sodor Fallout and it's countless AUs that terrifying. I mean... not too much jump scares if you ask me unlike Shed 17 and Project G-1. :/

[@SegaMario]

@@jimmyhook4852 Of course there's jumpscares... I thankfully haven't watched either of those things, but upon knowing that, that's definitely not changing my stance on them. I hate SF more because it is everywhere - when it hit the scene, S17 was practically dead.
