i use to love the tv series a a kid and i almost never miss it and so i decide to see this film both to see if there be any resemblance and and why the critic hate it and from director britt allcroft ( who create the show ) . basically the supply of gold dust and for travel between shin time and the island of sodor and be run out for mr. conductor ( alec baldwin ) . it doesn not help when thomas the tank engine ( edward glen ) and friend be be attack by the nasty diesel 10 ( neil crone ) and who also want to find the miss train lady ( allcroft ) and the magic railroad it run on . try to help the situation be mr. c slacker cousin ( michael e. rodgers ) and new friend lily ( slightly deep voice mara wilson ) and and her grandpa burnett stone ( peter fonda ) and who have lose his belief in the magic of lady . that about it . also star cody mcmains a patch and grease didi conn a stacy jones and crone a gordon and colm feore a toby and linda ballantyne a percy and kevin frank a bertie the bus and harold the helicopter and henry and susan roman a james and shelley skinner a annie and clarabel . no fat controller . maybe if ringo starr or michael angelis have return to do all the character voice and it could have improve it the tiny bit . then again and nothing can improve the ridiculous story and the stupid acting and the dreadful song and and the feel that it be nothing like the tv series and even if it look the same and it just one of the bad tv adaptation ever . very poor .
