Goodies: The Concept Of Thomas Discovering A Little Engine With A Troubled Past Seems Interesting

The Return Of The Skarloey Engines

The Blue Mountain Quarry Is The Better Location From The Nitrogen Era

Diesel Is In Character Here

It Expands On Already Existed Character Like Victor And Paxtonnnn

The Songs "Working Together" And "Blue Mountain Mystery" Are Bop To Listen

The Animation Is The Best That Nitrogen Has Ever Done

The Realism, Height And Momentum Is Fantastic

There Is Not A Single Sign Of B Plots Anywhere

Its Pacing Not Slow, Or Fast, It's Perfectly In The Middle

The Return Of Thomas' Branchline

Annie And Clarabel's Finally Got Themselves Voices Here

Baddies: The Jetty Was Not Seen In Victor's Flashback

My Rate: Fantastic.

Goodies: This Felt Like The Most Cinematic Thomas Has Ever Been

Just Like "Tale Of The Brave" Most Of The New Characters Are Fantastic Bill And Ben Getting Roles Here

It Brought Back So Many Old Characters

Sailor John Is An Amazing Yet An Insane Villain

Thomas Is 100% In Character Here

Robert Hartshorne's Score Was At His Absolute Peak Here

The Songs "Never Overlook A Little Engine" And "We Make A Team Together"

The Subplot Of Marion Mistaking Oliver The Great Western With Oliver The Excavator Is Funny

Baddies: Ryan's Character Could've Been Better

Bert, Mike And Rex Don't Serve That Much In The Movie

My Rate: Fantastic.

Goodies: It's Great To See 3 Main Characters In This Movies

Most Of The New Characters Are Fantastic (With Marion Being The Best Of Them All)

Bill And Ben Getting Roles Here

The Suspension Is Amazing

The Opening Credits Are Beautiful

The Expression Are Even More Expressive Than Ever

Ben Small And Keith Wickham's Thomas And Percy's Voices Are At Their Absolute Peak Here

Moral: Being Brave Isn't The Same As Not Feeling Scared, Being Brave Is About WHAT You Do, Even When You Do Feel Scared.

Baddies: Reg Is There Just For Merchandise

"Let's Be Brave" Is An Awful Song (And Not To Mention That It Ruined The Ending Of The Movie)

My Rate: Fantastic.

Goodies: The Story Is Pretty Ample

They Brought Back A Lot Of Characters From The Previous Seasons

Thomas Is Pretty Likable Here, Where He Either Felt Somewhat In Character, Or Half Way Through The Movie, He Realizes His Mistakes After Taking It Too Far

The Songs Are Great (With "Thomas You're The Leader" Being The Best Of Them All)

Great Waterton Is An Amazing Location

Pierce Brosnan Is A Perfect 1 Time Narrator, Where Sounds So Soft And Calm (At Most)

It Felt Like A Heartwarming End To The Model Era In General (Much Like "Best Friends")

Baddies: Stanley Is A Pretty Bland Character

My Rate: Fantastic.

Goodies: It Was A Fantastic Way To Celebrate The 70th Anniversary Of The RWS

They Used The Actual Dialog From The Books Too

James Is In His Black Livery And Thomas Is In His Original Livery In Brighton

They Remixed The Mikel Donnal And Junior Campbell Music, And It's Sounds Fabulous!

Thomas' New Voice(s) (John Hassler In The UK And Joseph May In The US Dubs) Sounds Great

The First 90 Seconds Of The Special Felt Like It Was Animated By Pixar

The Scene Where Thomas Helps Henry Overcome His Fears Is Really Sweet

The Main Reason Why Thomas Got His #1, It's Because One Of The Coffeepot Engines Called Glynn Was Left On A Siding

The Ending Shows The Pages Of The First Two RWS Books

Baddies: Henry And Thomas Were (Intentionally) Flanderized Here

Henry Having An Ombrophobia For No Reason

Tidmouth Sheds Still Has 7 Sheds And Not 6

Henry Is Not In His Old Shape

My Rate: Excellent.

Goodies: The Story Is Decent (Despite The Fact That It's Like 4 Episodes Combined Into A Film)

The Animation Is A Slight Improvement From The Previous Film (Although Not As Great In My Opinion)

Some Alright/Good Songs

Stephan Is An Excellent New Character

The Main Characters Are Written Truer To Their Original Personalities

The Lighting Compared To Nitrogen Era's, Looks Much More Brighter

Ulfstead Castle Is A Great Location

Baddies: The Animation (While It's Still Good) Isn't That Perfect, Because Some Of The Sets Still Look Pretty Bland

The Story (While Decent) Is Like 4 Episodes Combined Into A Film

The Trailer Made Others Think That This Was Gonna Be Worse Than "Blue Mountain Mystery"

My Rate: Good.

Goodies: A Nice Concept Of Taking Place To The Steelworks

The Animation Is Still Great (In Most Areas)

Some Catchy Songs

The Details Of The North Western Railway Look Nice

James And Thomas' Rivalry

Merlin Is A Decent New Character

The Massive Aerial Shots Of Every Set Look Great

Henry's Crash Is Suspense-fully Amazing

Baddies: The Animation Was Ruined Due To Distracting Bouncing On The Trains

The Mainland Sets Look Rushed And Empty In Some Areas

It Has A Confusing Decision On Where It Takes Place In

The Other Songs Like "Who's Thomas" And "The Experimental Engines" Are Like Stretched Conversations

My Rate: Okay.

Goodies: It Has Some Of The Best Songs Of The Whole Show

Thomas Going The Great Railway Show Is A Really Decent Concept

The Flying Scotsman's Return

The Sets Are Huge And Well Detailed

Baddies: Thomas Is Sort Of Unlikable, Because He Was Angry With Ashima Only Because She Nearly Pushed Him In The Sea

The Movie Is A Rehash To "Dream On"

The Movie Was Made For Pointless Merchandise, Like... The Thomas Through The Jawbridge Scene For An Example.

The Great Race Competition Only Lasted About 3 Minutes

Ashima (Despite Her Decent Design) Doesn't Have A Lot Of Personality In Her

My Rate: Okay.

Goodies: It Does Kinda Feel Like The 60th Anniversary To The Railway Series

Some Characters Do Feel In Character, Especially Thomas

At Least It Has A Middle Ground Where Both The "Steamies" And Diesels Can Be Really Useful

Some Catchy Songs Like "Busy" And "Working Together"

The Ending Of The Movie Is Really Heartwarming

Baddies: The Learning Segments

It's Filler At (Most) Times.

Arry And Bert Were Flanderized Into Typical School Bullies.

It's Really Mean-Spirited With The "Steamies" And Diesels Fighting And Arguing Eachother

Percy's Dream Was Weird And Unrealistic

My Rate: Mediocre.

Goodies: The Stylised Opening

Percy Being The Main Character Was A Nice Change

The Old Poster Makes More Sense Than The Later One Because Percy In It

The Fire Fighting Scene Was Intense

Diesels Felt Somewhat In Character In The Beginning

Diesel 10's Return

The End Song Is Pretty Good

Baddies: Belle, Despite Her Decent Design Has A Design Flaw.

Percy (Despite The Fact That Him Getting The Main Role Is A Nice Change) Has Been Flanderized Here

Thomas Is Worse Than His MIR Self, Where He Gives Belle A Horrible Impression on diesels in general.

The Terrible Moral At The End.

My Rate: Poor.

Goodies: The Idea Of Thomas Getting Lost On An Island Is Interesting

The Opening Credits Are Awesome

The Camera And Harold Both Flying Towards Thomas And Topham Are Cool

The Seriousness At The Scene Where Thomas And The Logging Locos Are Stuck In The Tunnel Is Amazing

The Score By Robert Hartshorne Is Still 👍

The After Credits Scene With Diesel 10

Baddies: Everything Else In This Film, Especially Thomas, Who Is Infamously Known For Saying Something Racist To Diesel "No Diesel, I'm sure The Fat Controller/Sir Topham Hatt means a really useful steamie! You'll never be that!"

My Rate: Bad.

Goodies: The Idea Of Thomas Going All Around The World Seems To Be Tolerable

Nia Is A Decent Character Here.

Pretty Catchy Songs

Ace Getting His Comeuppance By Getting Sent Away By Thomas

Baddies: The Animation Looks Either Rushed Or Uncanny

Thomas Is Worse Than His "Misty Island Rescue" And "Day Of The Diesels" Self In Here

Ace Is An Unlikable New Character

Some Of The Sets (Exclude Sodor) Look Really Bland And Empty

The Scene Where The Crane That I Don't Know The Name Of Lifts Topham Is Very Unfunny

Thomas Never Gets Any Punishment For The Selfish Decision He's Done

My Rate: Awful.

This Show Wins My Heart These Reasons

1. The Main Characters (Mostly Raggs) Have Such Cute Designs And They Are Likeable.

2. The Theme Song Is Amazing!

3. It Teaches Me Interesting Morals Just Like Thomas And Friends!

4. The Songs Are Cool! With "Thinking Anticipation" And "R-A-G-G-S" Being My Favourite Songs!

5. The CGI On The Raggs Characters Are As Cute As The Mascot Costumes 6. It Does Have Several Cute Moments In Here 7. There Is A Fair Share A Good Episodes Here And There.

8. They Feel Like RL Imagination Friends To Me, And It Touches My Heart In The Best Way!

Thoughts On It: Excellent.
