Review of Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000) by Ynneb2002 — 09 May 2021

I grew up as a kid watching Thomas from the UK so I really didn’t know what this Shining Time Station was. I really want to like this movie. I really do. It really has a decent amount of elements and a good amount of energy that remind me of old days of Thomas Seasons 1-7.

But when Shining Time Station is on screen and takes up the majority of the film. Thomas and his Friends get very little screen-time. And that’s the biggest problem I have with this movie. In fact, the movie could sort of work without Thomas at all.

In his first movie, you’d think they’d have of majority of characters from Thomas present, because they have the opportunity to. But no. We don’t even get Edward. Come on no Edward?! He was the first engine in The Railway Series you morons! I don’t give a damn if his model not complete in time.

Just somehow prop him in using photo editing! Thomas is absent so much that they shouldn’t have even called it Thomas and the Magic Railroad. 6/10 cause it least they knew how to capture the show very well.

Even if it got so little focus. I just wished they rewritten the movie to refocus more on Thomas and his friends than the Shining Time Station. Then I would’ve my absolute favourite Thomas movie by far.

I think I’ve said enough.
