Trivia
This was the final Thomas and Friends production to use an all model set. The twelfth season aired with several parts of the set in CGI, and starting with Thomas & Friends: Hero of the Rails (2009), all footage was done in CGI.

Goofs
After Stanley pulls Thomas onto the tracks, the points that lead to where Thomas landed can be seen; this proves a hidden track was used to help Thomas onto the line.

The Great Discovery needs a parents guide. It's great but violent and scary

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.
