according to an interview with sam barlow, hero of the rails was initially being developed as a model / cgi production for the last time, just like season 12; even written before the cgi transition; but was changed into a full cgi production after the script was underway .
with hero of the rails, gone are the model sets and limited facial expressions of the trains from previous thomas adventures. it’s now all cgi – which surprisingly stays very faithful to the original tv show, but now with the added bonus of fluid facial movements and moving mouths, walking and talking townfolk, and more action from crash sequences .
go, go thomas is a rock - n - roll song about thomas and the steam team helping hiro get back into working order in hero of the rails. it was later re - released in the us in april 2012 with the lyrics about hiro replaced during the first airing of season 16 episodes on pbs kids .

when frankie laughs and says
well isn' t he a clever little tank engine ,
her wheels are clipping through the rails .
dvd is the perfect place for a movie like rails & ties. somehow it' s easier to block out the often forced nature of the plot and just enjoy the rich performances and the humane themes .
dash didn’t care that thomas and crew were now all cgi. in fact, he enjoyed hero of the rails more than he ever liked the tv show, laughing several times (i even laughed at a scene). in the middle of the film, out of nowhere, he declared, “this is a pretty cool movie. ” he also offered his opinion on braggart spencer: “he’s really a snob. ”
the visuals and audio of the uk / australian release are out of sync .
this popular series follows the adventures of thomas the tank engine and all of his engine friends on the island of sodor .

at first, hiro is proud to be on the rails again under his own steam – but he’s less enthused to find spencer on the track next to them and going at speed .

but perhaps the strongest signal of change came at the end of 2016, when the chinese society of cultural relics and the architectural society of china published its 20th century chinese architectural heritage list, which named 98 buildings worthy of preservation .
anyway, hero of the rails was a similar situation to the great discovery for me. i found out about it via the internet, and i was hyped. i remember seeing the first moments of cgi in season 12 and was shocked about it, but i still wanted to see how the different voice actors and full on cgi would work out, plus it just looked interesting to me. and when it came out, i loved it, and watched it every day for like a week .
there are different approaches to the move itself. sometimes (the building) slides - - in which case a set of rails need to be built - - and sometimes the structure is pulled by truck - like vehicles ,
he says .
in this straight - to - dvd story, thomas the tank engine goes from hero to zero and back to hero again. thomas is hailed for his discovery of the long - lost village of waterton; in thanks for his discovery, he is assigned the important job of overseeing its restoration. thomas, whose goal in life is to feel useful, lets the power of his new role go to his head and becomes jealous of a new arrival, stanley, who is sent to help out. a few backfiring tricks later, stanley is in charge, and thomas is an outcast who must work to regain the trust and affection of friends like percy, gordon, and sir topham hatt .
before the earl jumps out of thomas' cab, his steam gauge is out of place .
ryan, skarloey, rheneas, sir handel, peter sam, rusty, skiff, mike, rex and bert' s promos show them off the rails. duck' s promo shows his right (viewer perspective left) wheels on the rails, but his left wheels are not. however, skiff, mike, rex and bert' s promos were later updated so they were positioned onto the tracks .

but he likes
hero of the rails
the best. he recites bits of the film over and over when he is playing with his trains and is already begging me to buy him a hiro train. my elderly father was with us on christmas day and he loved the film too! he thought it was a great storyline and we could hardly tear him away from the film to eat his brussel sprouts .

looking ahead, 2011 sees the return of diesel 10 along with new characters and destinations in the movie ‘day of the diesels’ .
along the fine lines of thomas & friends video lines,' hero of the rails, the movie' certainly met my expectations for being one of the best story lines with excellent video imaging and sound quality. the story captures new friendship, desire to help other (s), and to ask for help in a time of need. the story line goes beyond the island of sodor and the movie is simple enough for your young thomas fans to understand and adults will be entertained too! the bonus feature includes a simple racing game that is recommended for children 4 years old and above. the retail price could be a bit better but unless you purchase a used one, it' s hard to beat! my 4 y / o loves it! enjoy !
i think somehow the filmmakers lost the way, lost sight of the people inside the plot .

filmfather is one of our favorite people…his site pretty much rules. his reviews of non - kiddie fare are some of the best out there .
the plot to hero of the rails is also really good. it returns the
saved from scrap
kind of plot that was often seen in classic series episodes like escape and well, saved from scrap, and the plot itself had a lot to actually keep me interested in what was happening. the steamwork' s introduction was a rather good idea to me, as it feels more lively and interesting compared to the repair yard, plus it' s shown more how a real repair yard / workshop would work, showing the engineers and all the machines used to fix engines, which is especially shown when hiro is fixed in the end .
and the hankou yiyong fire association, a building erected by local firefighting volunteers some 100 years ago and which is classed as a historic site in wuhan, hubei province, made news in 2011 when it slid 295 feet (90 meters) on a set of rails .

not all the magic of cinema can be captured on the printed page, however, especially if it’s a musical. the dc adaptation of frank oz’s cult musical decided to take the unusual step of having all the song lyrics included in the comic as thought bubbles of the various characters. of course, there’s no music. strangely, the lyrics don’t have the same pizzazz when rendered in block text .
on the us website' s front page, the tale of the brave clip of percy rescuing james from the landslide was from the uk dub, as james had his uk voice .
the involvement of these high profile brands, along with it being the first time egmont has partnered with them, highlights the ongoing popularity of thomas the tank engine. we are proud to be involved in the 65th anniversary of this iconic property .
i have had a fair number of requests from fans and even parents of children as to where they can download the remixes .
: a frequent issue with the feature - length specials is that the toy previews typically give away many of the movie' s twists and cast of characters .
while they could have been enforced through china' s heritage conservation law - - the law of the people' s republic of china on protection of cultural relics which directly addresses the relocation of
immovable cultural relics
- - too often this simply didn' t happen .
albums of music' from and inspired by the motion picture' only tangentially connected to a film are not uncommon, but this came with the terribly lazy conceit of being a ‘mix tape’ of lame goth rock and spoooooky black metal found in the car of the guys who disappeared in the film. sigh .
the duke of boxford says to spencer that
the fat controller
has told the whole story in the uk version. but that is sir topham hatt' s nickname from which the duke of boxford should not say that in front of his face .

parents need to know that there are moments of real physical peril for the flawed hero that may worry his preschool - aged fans: thomas nearly plunges from a suspension bridge, is cast into a dark mining shaft, and then almost sinks. virtually every animated train, plane, truck, and barge in the thomas & friends pantheon has at least a small role in the movie, including the few female characters .
rearden metal threatens the steel industry, which fears being put out of business by a superior product. the government runs a smear campaign to make the public believe the metal is a safety hazard. to protect taggart transcontinental from negative publicity, dagny takes a leave of absence to finish repairs on the rio norte line with rearden metal rails. she renames the line the john galt line, mocking the phrase
who is john galt ?
she is sick of people' s pleas for galt, and she wants to fight him—whoever he is; she dares him to come and take her line. after the john galt line' s successful inaugural run, rearden is overwhelmed with orders for his metal, and the press hails james taggart as the hero of taggart transcontinental—even though it was dagny' s idea to use rearden metal and her brother opposed it. rearden and dagny, recognizing each other as kindred spirits, become lovers. they keep the affair a secret because rearden is married .
ironically, this was also one of the reasons the original team stopped adapting stories from the railway series, feeling they had already adapted most of the unique stories their budget could handle .
thomas was initially voiced by john bellis, a cab driver the crew met while shooting on the isle of man. he can be heard in one of the teasers .
a photo of the fat controller from the first season episode, trouble in the shed was shown on a web - exclusive video of last week tonight with john oliver .

engines of glory | the steam games ep. # 4 | thomas & friends
will be one of the next models from hornby to be released next year .
well to be honest, like calling all engines! , hero of the rails is more like an extended thomas episode as well. i remember brannon carty doing a video showcasing that. it' s a mediocre movie in my opinion and it' s easy for kids to understand. it has a good story and likeable characters, though i don' t know why spencer is given the bad guy role but if it were a diesel then it' ll be a whole overused' steam vs. diesel' plot. but there' s a plot hole that i think it' ll never be filled. i' ll watch it here and there whenever i' m in the mood .
in 2001, the jinlun guild assembly hall, in the southern megacity of guangzhou, was one of the first structures to be completely relocated in china. built in the early 1700s, during the qing dynasty, it was moved 264 feet (80. 4 meters) to enable the construction of kangwang road, to link the northern and southern areas of liwan district .
but in 2000 it was relocated 20 miles (32 kilometers) at a cost of more than $ 12 million, according to state broadcaster cctv. the temple shifted to the bottom of the feifeng mountain during the construction of the three gorges dam, which began in 1994 .

several classic characters were originally planned to be part of the core steam team for the show' s 2004 revamp, but a need for a prominent female character, coupled with problems on some of the models, resulted in the current cast of main characters .
and speaking of hiro, he is not bad of a character, he shown as kind engine and has a fear of getting scraped as well as missing his home, which is japan .
some of the voice clips on certain characters from the 2010 update are absent since the 2015 update. these include :
now, i am not giving away the information, although the title of the books are safe enough to display .
of course, the ’60s also saw the dawn of a very different, more recognizable and more culturally validated fandom: an obsession with rock ‘n roll music, identified forever in a hard day’s night with the beatles fans screaming with happiness and crying with joy, driven into near - orgy hysteria by the sound of one of the greatest bands in history playing the cutest (and in hindsight least interesting) music of their career .
thomas goes to the great railway show and competes with some of the world' s finest locomotives .
the scene of sir robert norramby waving from millie' s cab does not appear in the special .

at knapford station, some of the engines are discussing why the earl would want rails and big heavy stones. they think there must be a new railway line, with a station. suddenly, toby rushes in, telling all the engines that henry has burst his safety valve and the fat controller wants percy to take his heavy goods train to the earl’s estate. percy excitedly puffs off, leaving a rather confused group of engines. they all know percy is not strong enough to pull a heavy train .
and finally we have the songs. while the main songs in both specials (both this and calling all engines) were alright, it' s the last song that played during the end credits of this special is probably one of the highlights of the special. thomas you' re the leader is a great sendoff to the model era of the show (not counting season 12, that' s a hybrid season) .
he watched the tv show on pbs and had a handful of dvds as well .

okay, this one might just be me. but when i think of studio ghibli’s wonderful film, i just think about one of the most beautiful animated films ever made, and the touching low - key tale of the power of children’s imagination to overcome horrible tragedies. i don’t, however, think of something for teenagers to wear at music festivals. plus a skinny totoro just looks so wrong .

on the surface, writer / director neill blomkamp’s political allegory elysium has all the right ingredients: a well - crafted dystopia complete with cyberpunk favelas and a sleek off - world colony, a hero in a cool exo - suit, a strong message about class struggles, matt damon. and yet, for all of its exciting moments and visual splendor, it gets so caught up in trying to be edgy and hit all the necessary notes it forgets to come together and be a good movie .
the django toys were something different though. with the film’s unconventional depiction of slavery already being controversial, criticism of the toys from african american activists, including rev. al sharpton, led to the figures being pulled from stores .
the song played at the end of the feature - go go thomas - is the first post - 2003 thomas song to be written by the series composer, robert hartshorne .
of course there was no malicious intent behind their creation, they were only made to give movie nerds something cool to put on their shelves. yet it’s one thing to have figure of violent badass django – it’s a whole other kettle of fish to produce dolls of' house slave' stephen .
mean girls might seem like an odd film to adapt into a digital format, but if you’re trying to appeal to the severely underserved but rapidly growing teen girl market for video games, it’s not a bad shout. by the time the game came out in 2011 however, seven years after the film’s release, star lindsay lohan had gone somewhat off the rails, and was maybe not the sort of person a parent would really want their young daughter to look up to. therefore the producers decide to erase her from the cover of the box (but still leave rachel mcadams, lacey chabert and amanda seyfried on there), meaning that the game was released with no reference to the film’s star on the packaging .
in common with her famous actor / filmmaker father, ms. eastwood seems to have an instinctual grasp of the petty grievances and triumphs of working - class american life .
as aggressive urbanization swept the nation, tens of thousands of historic sites were lost. relocation became a preferable alternative to demolition - - and there was precedent for it .
last but not least, i really wasn' t a fan of the solution to the problem of this special. i understand it was for the moral, but the fact that thomas ended up telling sir topham hatt kind of felt a bit forced and predictable. there was a lot of that build - up in the special, and i feel like that would have happened either way, and it just felt like kind of a cop - out in a way. i feel it was one of the weaker endings to a thomas special in general to be honest .
when stephen is telling his story at the steamworks, part of thomas' splasher appears rusted .
, just as thomas is crossing it, the large fanfare of a trumpet is now quieter .
in several scenes, some of the characters are not rendered properly as they overlap the trucks. this occurs with :
in the second scene of the engines at napford station, the overview showed toby and edward was part of the
pow wow
, but when spencer came along and talked to them, toby and edward was no longer there .
in the close - up of spencer at the ulfstead castle ceremony, his front bogie wheels clip through his cylinders .
during one scene of thomas, percy and james pulling the traveller, the conflats' wheels appear to be missing .
the pbs site has featured instrumental versions of streamlining, the best friends express, and it' s christmas time .
bert was credited as
iron bert
since the arlesdale railway engine of the same name was added as bert .
, the diesels played a secondary role alongside half of the steam team waiting for victor to give them new valves .
the fat controller' s office set was part of an exhibit at the hangaram art museum in korea in 2010 .
during his period of office, he began improvements to the harbour at knapford, planned by his father and reopened the arlesburgh branch in 1965 / 6, being responsible for the construction of the arlesdale railway and for establishing the ballast consortium which uses it .
the footage and audio during the eight minute preview is slowed down slightly. because of this, the audio is distorted in some scenes .
the first draft of the season 13 episode
splish splash splosh
was written with billy in the role that ultimately went to charlie .
thomas and his friends are telling tales on the rails! percy' s sheep escape and den and dart fear working apart. james can' t handle the slip coaches, while salty' s imagination has him running scared. when percy loses control, he bravely faces his fears with a little help from his friends. track down exciting stories with thomas and his friends !
the film ends with the shock reveal of the identity of tracy’s mysterious antagonist the blank. not wanting the surprise to be spoilt before people saw the film, disney chose to release the book without its final chapter, thus leaving the story incomplete, but without the movie’s reveal spoilt. later printings restored the full ending, but it’s still an insane move .
but the joke went down so well, that it ended up producing the figure for real. which is kind of cool. it’s still just a slab of black plastic in funny packaging though .
it’s quite apparent filmfather is extensively knowledgeable in the history of modern films... which is what being a trustworthy critic demands. he offers honest and thoughtful breakdowns of the movies he chooses to review. no doubt his name could go down with the likes of ebert and kael .
the (emergency) notice was not a law, but a clarification of the enforcement of existing laws to prevent the illegal demolition and' theft' of cultural heritage properties - - as in, selling whole buildings or decorative parts to private collectors and overseas museums ,
lee tells cnn .

chase sequence to the public in their studio animation pipeline collection illustrating the three various stages of animation the film went through before the final cut .
