Thomas and the Magic Railroad is a 2000 American film based on the well-known TV series and its successful American spinoff. This film was produced and distributed by Destination Films, and originally released to movie theatres by 2000. It received extremely negative reviews, resulting in a 20% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and failed to meet expectations at the box office, making just under $20 million worldwide.
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 is fending off attacks by the nasty diesel engines. 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.
