Movie synopsis
Eleven-year old Lily (Mara Wilson) sets off to see her grandpa (Peter Fonda), but she ends up on the wrong train. Lily meets Mr. Conductor (Alec Baldwin), who lives in the town of Shining Time. Mr. Conductor uses magic gold dust to visit the Island of Sodor and Thomas the Tank Engine and the Magic Railroad. When Lily arrives, Thomas is having problems with Diesel 10, a renegade diesel engine, and Mr. Conductor is running out of the magic dust. But all will be well if Lady, a missing golden engine, can be found. In the meantime, Grandpa has an engine hidden away in the mountain. Could it be Lady? Will Mr. Conductor find more magic gold dust? And will Thomas again be the number one hero of the Magic Railroad?In the early 1980s, Britt Allcroft found Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends in the Reverend W. Awdry's THE RAILWAY SERIES and brought them to television. Now--aiming at an audience of children between 3 and 7 years old--Allcroft transfers Thomas and his friends to the big screen, and she uses all manner of special effects in capturing the storybook feel of the original stories.

Editorial reviews

"...Baldwin's brio makes him as big as the smiling trains in the fantasy railroad yard..."
New York Times - Elvis Mitchell (07/26/2000)

"...Baldwin looks like he's having a lot of fun....Britt Allcroft deserves all the honors she's received over the years for cultivating Thomas' archives..."
Los Angeles Times - Gene Seymour (07/26/2000)

"...The movie's true star is Diesel 10, an evil engine who terrorizes his fellow trains with his giant claw, Pinchy. He's a gas..."
Entertainment Weekly - Bruce Fretts (05/02/2003)

My son likes it

This was a very strange movie. The actors lack emotion and the storyline is strange to follow. I think a better full length film could have been made about the Thomas the train characters. But.... my 3 year old son absolutly loves this movie. We have the the diesel 10 character at home and because he is the "villain" of the movie my son often puts him into "time out". It's kindof cute. I personally would give this movie a 2/5 but because my son likes it so much I am bumping it up to a 3/5 rating. I am purchasing the DVD because our VCR just broke down and we aren't planning to buy another one and all we have is the VHS version of this movie.

Wonderful storyline; kept my son interested through out

This movie is a pretty good feature length film based on Thomas and his friends. The acting was good with Peter Fonda stealing the show in my opinion. Alec Baldwin did really well as well as Mara.

It kept my son interested the first time he watched and still holds his interest every time after. Not bad considering he's 2.

Thomas and the Magic Railroad

My Grandson is "over the top" for the Thomas and his friends series. I bought this DVD for him, thinking of it as a new addition to the set. Well....it just doesn't belong. This story mixes the familiar animated trains with live action. I was curious to see how they blended the two, and the answer is--not very well. It just jumps awkwardly back and forth through the entire movie. I could read my Grandson's mind---"What are all these PEOPLE doing in my movie?"
Bottom line, it's confusing for the very young, and too silly for older children.

Thomas the Magic Railroad (DVD, 2000)

I have watched the movie several times with my 5 grandsons. 2 of my grandson's ages 2 and 4.5 live 4 hours away from me. They also like the movie, (and Thomas the Train) much as to watching it over and over again; I couldn't give them my movie. I tried buying the movie at several stores and could not find it. I did find it on Ebay my daughter says the movie runs like new the boys love it. Any child that likes Thomas will enjoy this movie. Alec Baldwin does an outstanding performance in this children's film.
Thank you,
Sandy Malone

Looks Wonderful. My Twin Grandsons love Thomas

It's about Thomas The Train. My Twin Grandsons Love anything about Trains Thanks. They go to anything that is about Trains and have been watching everything abou Thomas for two years . They are only four years old and have videos at their house and there other Grandmother's house so I bid on two so they can take one over to her house as well. Sorry but I work 2 jobs and I don't have time to write an Essay . This is much to long for most people that are very busy. Cut it down a little to at least fifty words and you will do better Its only a wonderful film for Kids and I thank you but it is way to long. I am on my way to work so I hope this will do. All the last of this was to try to fill it. Thanks
