  • Thomas and the Magic Railroad is one of the most bizarre and cursed movies we've ever seen. From motionless faces to entire characters being cut out of the film, releasing this movie into the world was a terrible mistake.

    Thomas and the Magic Railroad - 2000
    Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends are being threatened by diesel engines like the surly Diesel 10 and his sidekicks Splatter and Dodge. Even the magical Mr. Conductor, who has always traveled between the train world and the human world of Shining Time Station, is losing his powers and sparkle. In the middle of this crisis, Lily meets up with Mr. Conductor on the way to visit her lonely grandfather Burnett Stone. Brave Thomas reminds them all that "even little engines can do big things."

    Fun fact the original script for this movie was to have an additional human villain named P.T. Boomer, and was going to focus more on the people, but they had to change it after a test audience deemed it "too dark" for a Thomas Movie. Like what? It's a Thomas movie, I'm pretty sure that they wouldn't have put anything that bad in it. What in the original script did Mr. Conductor corner Thomas and was like, "tell me where the gold dust is or your friend here gets it."

      My mom told me an anecdote (that I have no clue if it's true or not) that the trope of giving motorized vehicles girls names started with Henry Ford - the anecdote as it was told to me goes that Henry was so focused and obsessed with designing and building the first automobile that he never found time to find a woman to marry which caused no shortage of ridicule for being "forever alone", so he gave the car a woman's name and referred to it with female pronouns in order to trick the people ridiculing him into thinking he was courting a woman.
      Again, I have no idea the veracity of the anecdote and it could be a complete fabrication but that's what I grew up believing.

    As a fan of Thomas and friends and a Train kid, I can say that this was what screwed over the public’s view of Thomas and friends as a franchise. Before this movie, the show presented the Island of Sodor as if it a real place, and the North Western Railway (the name of the Sodor’s railway) was like a real railway with the exception that the trains have faces. Also the used live action for the trains too, the reason the eyes don’t blink and mouths don’t move is because they are literally just gauge 1 model trains so they couldn’t do a lot in the face department. They actually had to create an eye mechanism to move the eyes. *Also Toby is an London and North Eastern Railway J70 steam tram for those who don’t know*
    *also y’all should watch Sodor’s legend of the lost treasure some time*

    Allow me to expand on some of the lore of why Mr Conductor is even in this movie: The original Thomas the Tank Engine series was paired with a show called Shining Time Station where Mr. Conductor would talk about Thomas with some live action and puppet skits similar to Sesame Street. Mr. conductor was originally played by comedian George Carlin in that series where as here he’s played by Alec Baldwin.

    While I still have a huge soft spot for this movie (and the franchise as a whole), there's no doubt that this film killed Thomas for a lot people outside of the fanbase. Which is kinda sad because the show itself was actually pretty solid with it's storytelling and realism (or as real as you can get with a show about talking trains). It's quite baffling that the film even came out like this at all when all it needed to be was just a simple Thomas movie.

      Well, at first, he was performed by a voice actor who spoke with a gruff English accent (test audiences said it was too scary), then they replaced the first actor with a second actor who used a Russian accent (test audiences said it was too offensive?), and then the second actor switched to the New Jersey accent used in the final product.
      Also, the main villain was a dude named P.T. Boomer (played by an actor named Doug Lennox), who was going to the be arch nemesis of Peter Fonda's character. He was actually behind a lot of the plot points in this movie, and gave the film a lot more substance. Unfortunately, test audiences said he was too scary for little kids (when the other bad guy was literally a diesel locomotive with a huge claw, no less), and they didn't have enough time to rework the script, and that shows in the final product

    Not a good movie. We came to see Thomas, not the humans or magic crap, but it's very nostalgic.
    Edit: "There's, like, a race war going on in Thomas." Wait until he sees Calling All Engines.
    Fun fact: This movie was originally going to have more content, alongside a human antagonist, more set pieces, more characters, a different narrator, and a longer run time (original run time was 115 minutes, final cut is 85 minutes). Movie could've been so much better.

    I would want to point out that Britt Allcroft (the person who brought the show to life, and is also the director/writer/producer of this movie) did the voice of Lady in this movie

    This was the first movie I saw with Alex Baldwin in it. It doesn’t matter what movie he stars in, I will always think of him as Mr. Conductor!

    Fun fact: the reason why the film was bad because they had to change the story due to a test screening. They changed the engines and diesels voices and cut a lot of scenes out but one character that was cut was a evil motorcyclist pt boomer. He was the main villain of the story but was cut due to being too scary

    15:53 Yes they did!
    They rewrote it after the soccermoms complained that it was too scary for kids even though the kids loved it!
    (It’s a Sony owned Movie. They have to put their hands on it somehow.)

      It leaked online a year or two ago but, that’s the original recordings for the film based on the rewrites that were forced. It’s only slightly better than what we got because it adds context.
      Four versions of the original script (different drafts) were leaked online _YEARS_ ago. Those were much better but still a bit cheesy. (I personally enjoyed them!)
