Plot Summary

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 and his engine friends are fending off attacks by the nasty Diesel 10 and his goons. Getting more gold dust will require help from Mr. C's slacker cousin, his new friend Lilly, and her morose grandfather, plus the secret engine he's hidden all these years and couldn't get running. Written by Jon Reeves

Trivia Despite the negative reception, Mara Wilson states that she does not regret making the film. In an interview with "The Nostalgia Critic" Wilson stated that making the film was "one of the funniest times" in her life. She also stated in another interview with PBS News Hour in 2016 that, next to Matilda (1996), this was her favourite film to make out of her whole career. See more »
