It really could, just look on the internet and see what I mean...... I mean the movie made no sense due to Doug Lennox's character P.T. Boomer being cut from the movie. Bloody test audiences ruined the movie..... Boomer's removal just made Burnett Stone's existance in the movie meaningless like Russell Means put it. WTF is so scary about an elderly motorcyclist, compared to a big Diesel with a giant lumbering claw?
Plus the voices are mostly unfitting which is also the fault of the test audiences. Michael Angelis was a much more fitting James & Percy. Keith Scott fit Diesel 10's voice much more than Neil Crone. And poor John Bellis was screwed over by those morons, he sounded better as Thomas than Eddie Glenn. Patrick Breen was better as Dodge and Splatter as well.
I enjoyed the movie but had it turned out like it should have, it wouldnt have cost Britt Allcroft her job and Thomas wouldnt be owned by an arrogant conglomorate that cares more about money than the quality of the show.moreless
AIRED:
In Thomas' first big screen adventure, we switch between Sodor and the real world at Shining Time Station. Mr Conductor is able to go from one world to another via his golden magic dust, but Diesel 10 and his sidekicks Dodge & Splatter are out to destroy him and the engines of Sodor. The answer to everyone's problems lies in the Magic Railroad and a lost engine named Lady...moreless

ADD TRIVIA-
Goof: In one head-on shot of Diesel 10, a pencil can be seen on the right side of the screen next to the tracks.
-
When Thomas, Henry, Gordon, James and Toby talk about Diesel 10, look closely behind Gordon's tender when there are close-ups of him, and you'll see that there are no buffers behind it, and the tracks just lead into the shrubbery behind.
-
You notice when Lily meets Junior for the second time there is a pile of Gold Dust on the counter where Mr. Conductor's house is and Lily asks Junior to save some for her grandpa. But Lily doesn't take all of the Gold Dust but when she and Junior leave there is no more Gold Dust on the counter.

At the end Mr Conductor gives Junior his hat and says "This is the way". Junior sparkles away with the hat still on. About a minute later Mr Conductor has the exact same hat on when he returns to Shining Time Station, we know this because it has the same number on it. He wouldn't have got the hat back off Junior that fast!

When Lady is brought back to life again, we see her and the gang go out of a tunnel in Burnett's workshop. Then we see her going along the Magic Railroad, but how did she get onto it ? Just exactly how many entrances are there
onto "The Magic Railroad"? -
When Lily gets in Burnett's Chevrolet Truck we see Burnett shut his door, but not properly. In the next shot it is shut properly.

When the flower phone jangles at the end of the movie and Mr. Conductor answers it, look carefully and you can see a big wire to the left of the screen tugging at it to make it move.
