This is awesome!!! Thomas the tank Engine is the best children's character! And Thomas and The Fantastic All-Hailroad is perfectly great for the family and all ages! It has to be the best kids movie, the best fantasy movie, the best movie in 2000 and the 4th-best movie ever! IT HAS TO BE!!!!
The way this movie is made is very well done for its time! It blends and combines a real-life live action universe with a very realistic model-made universe, and the chroma key looks SO REAL too! The way that Diesel#10's giant robot claw moves is good and the magic railway and the gold dust CGI is pretty well done!
The acting and portrayals are good. The acting of Russell Means, Didi Conn and Cody McMains are good as kind local working people who hang 'round Shining Time. The acting of Mara Elizabeth Wilson and Peter Fonda is beautifully sweet! Fonda is a sad and heartbronkenly depressed old man who has longed for happiness for years, and Mara is his young teenage granddaughter who needs to restore the magic to make him happy again. And the acting from Alexander Rae Baldwin III and Michael E. Rodgers is HILARIOUS!!! Mike Rodgers has the best lines and is lazily obsessed with seaside surfing safari holidays, I especially like his line: "ooo cake! Eww! That's not cake!" This cracks me up!!! And Alexander Baldwin is a wise man though he talks to himself a lot about how he should behave. The film combines live action actors with American accents and voices with British accents, the only voices which are American are the villains (which is what makes them evil 'cause they're Americanised, so the movie isn't too American for British fans) My favourite characters are the villains, Diesel#10 and Petey Tiberius Boomer along with their annoyingly troublesome minions. I was obsessed with these characters for a while!!!
There's good morals for kids, that we all see magic differently, to help those in need, that carrots are healthy for your brain , several lessons of cooperation and most of all, little people can do big things too!
The soundtrack is good, magical music for the magic, scary music for the villains, good chase music, the Thomas themes in this movie aren't too annoying, and sweet relaxing music that really makes you think! The music really calms me down when I listen to it, the music also reminds you of the characters: Really Useful engine/Thomas theme (Thomas), the moon must feel (Lily), some things never leave you (Burnett) and summer Sunday (Junior). And I'm not a fan of pop disco, but the locomotion has to be the best pop song ever!
Overall in conclusion, this movie is 4th-best just under Looney Toons: Back In Action, Space Jam and Wallace and Gromit. If you don't like this movie then you won't like Thomas or any kids movie for that matter at all!!!
