Info

Mr. Conductor's supply of magic gold dust, which allows him to travel between Shining Time and Thomas's island, is critically low. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to get more. Meanwhile, Thomas is fending off attacks by the nasty diesel engines. Getting more gold dust will require help from Mr. C's slacker cousin, his new friend Lily and her morose grandfather, plus the secret engine.

TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Nonureva Really Surprised!
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Stellead Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
shaun-brake woooohooo awesome movie why is this movie low rated just because the adults don't like it the kids did and im 12 in year 7 so i love this movie i love the chase scene but heres something the movie was ruined by Americans!!!! it was meant to have George and diesel 10 and all the other characters splatter and dodge were meant to be destroyed the movie was due to be 146 minutes long with Pete Theodore boomer aka p.t boomer and the chase was the best and was meant to have Thomas derailing on the jump and diesel 10 grabbing him and finally killing him then of course we have James about to be scrapped scene and all sorts oh man it was awesome
nicholas39071 OK, so it's not THAT bad. I mean, young kids seriously DON'T CARE about bland acting, which there is A LOT of. Here are some reasons to ONLY WATCH THIS WITH YOUR CHILD if they FORCE YOU TO STAY AND WATCH IT WITH THEM. 1. So at the beginning it's showing everyone at Shining Time, then the conductor shows up IN A PLANT? Like what the heck? 2. Pinchy. Really. Pinchy. 3. Patch's acting is bad. His words, if you know what I mean, feel really broken up. 4. There are a lot of unnecessary scenes, such as when Stacy finds Burnett's old picture he drew, which has nothing to do with the actual story. 5. Peter Fonda was TERRIBLE in this, I am not kidding. At one point he says," Lily. I'm so glad to see you." He should say," Lily! I'm so glad to see you!" But he says it in a really deep voice, like he's thinking," Ugh, she's here. I'll just be nice anyway and hope she doesn't notice I don't want her here." Trust me, if this were real life, she would have noticed. 6. Oh. My. God. When the conductor is all like," Sparkle, sparkle, sparkle!" It is so annoying! 7. Lily has some kind of obsession with climbing things, and it's kinda creepy. 8. Lily's smile is some kind of fake mouth-hanging-open smile thing. Also, ironically, this was the last thing she ever acted in, so either she decided she didn't like acting, which I'd be surprised about after Matilda, or this movie TOTALLY messed up her WHOLE career. 9. Junior is to dumb to be a human, he's like," OK, I'll just use up my cousin's last possible supply of gold dust he might EVER have for the rest of his life. Whateves." 10. Why does Lily have a stuffed animal bluebird? 11. There are a lot of corny jokes throughout. 12. Who in their right mind would name their dog Mutt? All of that being said, I used to love this when I was 6, and I'm 11 now and was forced to watch this with my younger brother, and he didn't seem to mind ANY of this, so I guess it's OK for the younger kids, therefore I gave it a 4. Hope this helps!
Micah Seville This was and still is my favorite movie of all time, i never understood why people and fans hated it,it gives us brand new adventure outside of the videos,with new beloved characters! Lady, Diesel 10, and dodge and Splatter! don't get me wrong i love the original episodes form season 1-7 but i know every word from this movie i even recite it to my girlfriends nephews for them, they love it.Britt Allcroft didn't get the credit she deserved This was a great film!The film gave us chases and danger we haven't seen on sodor until TATMR. I have always hoped for a sequel! I hope the 2013 Thomas film will be even better! I love this film! (better than the film after this one!)
Writer_Commentary Well, a Thomas movie has been made with a great cast and the version that we have was good, but could it have been better? The answer is yes. But it is still good the way it is. There is a nice plot that has everything one would want in a Thomas movie or any kids movie for that matter. What I don't like is how a good portion of the film is unreleased and may never be seen. But until I see the final cut, I think that one that we have now is good. It has the hero's quest, a determined bad guy, and things you can relate to. I liked it because it was a good interpretation of the character from the Thomas franchise and has an understandable plot. While I do hope for the full version of the movie, what we have now is good.
