not the bad film i have ever see ( the fourth kind be the current champion in that particular category ) and but consider the charm of the series i must ask what in sodor be these film maker think . the idea of a human be able to interact with the train and people of sodor have some appeal while sadly that and watch alec baldwin have a ball and peter fonda attempt to keep it real and man be the only high point in this film . i have to wonder what sort of medication be be abuse by the scriptwriter and or perhaps they never mentally leave the psychedelic sixty . fan of the thomas series will want to fast forward through the live action sequence ( which truly never match the sodor world ) to get to the train sequence . it be almost like watch two different movie at the same time and but splice onto one reel . seriously and the only real way to enjoy this film fully be to turn the sound off and make up your own dialogue a you go along . good yet and forget this film and just go with the other thomas offering .
