The only good thing coming out of the Thomas and Friends series going to shit is that the fandom has really stepped up; and, in my mind, supercedes anything that Mattel could create. If (big if) Mattel allowed the fandom to produce just one season or special of Thomas and Friends, I truly believe that anything they create would instantly be 10x better than Mattel. If the fandom was ever given this honor, this music should deserve to represent the fandom's Thomas and Friends soundtrack. It is insanely good. I would give yourself a pat on the back. You have earned it.

@Zaves Productions totally agree with you here, I wouldn’t want this theme anywhere near S25. But, apparently there’s a new film coming. I’m hoping it ends up being similar to the cancelled film idea from a few years ago

[@strider1246]

@Zaves Productions There are talks of some producers that are working with the T&F franchise for a new live-action movie. The director is confirmed to be the one who made Christopher Robin, he claimed that he took this project on because he has been a life long fan of T&F. Hopefully, by next year there’ll be more news about it. But hearing it is the director from Christopher Robin, I think it will be a film about the Rev. Wilbert Awdry, Christopher Awdry and the world they created. In short, I think it will make us cry. variety.com/2020/film/news/thomas-friends-movie-mattel-marc-forster-1234793292/

"Poor James... I'd like to teach those trucks a lesson," Thomas muttered. Unbeknownst to Thomas, James was still unable to stop. "I have to stop! I WANT to stop! Please, I'm begging you! Let me stop!" he shouted at the trucks. But it was too late. James flew off the rails, his black paint grinding against the rocks. Some of the trucks were smashed into smithereens.
