Thomas & Friends: The Great Discovery - The Movie

I like this movie, I wanna review it on my YouTube Channel soon, but this movie is much better than Calling All Engines, the songs are improved, and it doesn't have the boring learning segments, HiT/Mattel honestly wanted bad eras to end on a decent note, I like the Great Waterton set, and the pacing is pretty good 7.5/10.

The Great Discovery is a nice film and a last hurrah to classic Thomas. However it can get scary and violent. The best thing about the movie though is the ending song. THOMAS, YOURE THE LEADER: THOMAS, HES MY NUMBER ONE, SHINING IN THE MORNING SUN, WORKING HARD BUT HAVING FUN, THOMAS YOURE THE LEADER, THOMAS YOURE THE LEADER. I also love Stanley, his color is nice: White and Gray and Silver and Red and even Chrome. Overall the songs are jammers. And the plot is good but sometimes violent and scary. Overall The Great Discovery is the third best Thomas film behind Blue Mountain Mystery and Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure. It's a huge improvement over the dull and boring Calling all Engines which is quite mediocre. The Great Discovery is so awesome it beats other great movies like Journey Beyond Sodor, Hero of the Rails, and even The Adventure Begins. Overall The Great Discovery is great but sometimes violent and scary.

Oh ho ho ho, before you ask why do you sound like Santa I'm doing that because this special, the second one released, was so damn fun to watch. And this is a special based on a kid's show... So in this one Thomas finds the long lost town of Great Waterton and everyone tries to restore it to it's former glory. Then Stanley walks into his life and oh dear, Thomas starts thinking everyone likes Stanley more than him. So he runs off at nights but silly Thomas, he ends up falling inside a deep mine and goes missing. If there's one word to call this special then right from the get go, that would be... FUN! There's some really darn good moments here from the bridge collapsing to Thomas ending up in the mine. (You see that, Magic Railroad, ya see that? That is what you should have done instead of giving us a mopey looking Peter Fonda.) The story here is much better than Calling All Engines and BAH DA DA DAAAAAA, for the first and probably only time (unless HIT ever plans something like this again) we got a star narrator, in this case 007 himself Pierce Brosnan who does well with the material. Oh yes and putting the absolutely overblown WELCOME STANLEY! meme aside, Stanley was a fairly interesting character. Crying shame he's hardly seen if you ask me. What a fun special this was and a perfect sendoff for the models. Sadly though even with the latest CG technology the specials kinda went downhill for a bit as we'll see next with Hero Of The Rails...
