Once I showed Hero of the Rails to a friend for the first time, and then Blue Mountain Mystery a few weeks later, and he noticed that they both have a plot point where Thomas & co have to keep the spotlighted new character hidden from authority figures.

I like this way of tackling the movies instead of just reviewing what you like and dislike about them. The hero's journey is a very well-tested formula and Thomas can do it very well if it's got the right minds behind it. I also think TGD was Thomas' best film as a character alone, We see all sides of his personality and his arc is absolutely brilliant. Good stuff!

Something I always noticed in CGI Thomas movies from as a kids' perspective is that the climax to the very end is always in the let's go sequence there is always a rescue sequence or a battle between the main villain. They kinda feel repetitive unlike Miller era season logic, its the choices of main characters. Villain: "Day of the diesels", "Hero of the rails", "Blue Mountain Mystery", "Sodor's legend of the lost treasure" and "Journey beyond Sodor". Rescue: "Misty Island rescue", "King of the railway", "Tale of the brave", "The Adventure Begins", "The Great race" and "Big world big adventures".

This is kind of weird because despite every single Thomas movie being about something different in reality that are all really not too different from each other. The same thing goes for other movies that use this type of trope as well. This was a great video Adam and it really enlighten me on this type of writing that the people on the show use to actually create these movies. Keep up the good work man.

Really nice take on covering the movies. For me, the ones that do the trope best by their qualities overall, must be nailed down to 'The Great Discovery' (though I felt even as a kid that the whole Thomas-Stanley conflict took after 'Toy Story'), 'Blue Mountain Mystery', 'Tale of the Brave', Thomas's arc in 'The Great Race' and 'Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure'. A nice leeway I think to a reminder that, two months ago, I submitted to Mattel's CEO an ambitious production pitch proposal for a retro-Thomas & Friends revamp. Subject to further development, which acknowledges seeking approval from the Awdry family themselves, since I developed it with the original vision of the franchise in mind. The hint from this video that relates to it is how I explore the 'hero's journey'. Think of what they tried, but did not completely do in exploring multiple arcs in 'The Great Race'; I actually worked out the character concepts before I was firmly settled with the nature of the storytelling required to bridge them together to make a seamless whole. Both World Wars are brought up as backdrops. The other thing I'll mention, related to 'The Adventure Begins', is that the opening episode outline for my pitch is a fresh take on how Thomas and Edward befriended each other, using the Rev. Awdry's published lore material as a base, plus a real-life accident I discovered online, which I referenced in my pitch. Here's the link: redrosecollections.lancashire.gov.uk/view-item?i=240839&WINID=1700513727754 Also, check out the Railway Series Fandom Wiki, where I updated many pages with related information.
