Thomas and the Easter Eggs (Little Golden Books: Thomas & Friends)

Product Information

Beresford's only appearance until the twenty-fourth series special episode, Thomas and the Royal Engine. The only special where Vinnie, Carlos, Rajiv, Yong Bao and the Fat Clergyman do not appear since their introductions in The Great Race. The first special animated by Jam Filled Toronto, albeit partially. The first half of the film was animated by Arc Productions before their bankruptcy. On Sodor, James approaches the Fat Controller and asks if he could go to the Mainland to search for Thomas. The Fat Controller praises his proposal, but notes that he cannot spare another engine and that he will continue his work on Thomas' branchline. Percy cheers him up and says that he tried. Gavin Ebedes is not credited for being supervising editor on DVD and theatrical end credits. However, he is credited on the PBS Kids end credits.

The first appearance of the salt vans in full CGI and their first appearances since the twelfth series episode, Best Friends. During a few scenes after Thomas runs into Beresford and also during the "Who's Thomas" song, Thomas can be seen turning his face sideways to look up at him. This is the only time an engine is seen doing this. On Thomas' branchline, James grows impatient with some sheep who have stopped on the rails. Annie and Clarabel advise him to wait for the farmer to shoo them away, which James does not want to do and proposes to blow his whistle. Just as he is about to do so, Farmer McColl arrives and shoos the sheep away from the rails. When Henry and Hector see the eggs, they gasp. The eggs are giant and covered in shiny gold paper with a pink bow. Hector is not very happy; he will feel embarrassed carrying the eggs, but Henry tells him it is an enormous honour.The only special where the official Korean transcript file was shown on the internet in South Korea. The first special in which vehicular characters are able to move their bodies, in that they perform when they speak or look in different directions, which while debuting in the preceding CGI series, was made more prominent as of this special, as well as the new comedic devices.

There are a few references to the 1939 film, The Wizard of Oz. This is the second Thomas production to reference it, the first being the fifth series episode, Stepney Gets Lost. When the official Korean transcript was released on the internet, this special's initial Korean title was "메인랜드 모험기" (meinlaendeu moheomgi), which means "Mainland Adventure".In Australia, Hoyts and Event Cinemas previewed the special 1-3 times everyday between 31st August - 6th September 2017 and on 9th, 10th and 12th September 2017. This special takes place between the twenty-first series and Big World! Big Adventures!, even though after this film, the twenty-first series was next and then Big World! Big Adventures! However, there are some hints with production crew, voice actors and changes that this was produced before the twenty-first series in 2016, these being: In the Korean dub, the North Western Railway is translated as "북서 철도" (bugseo cheoldo), however, 북서부 철도 (bugseobu cheoldo) is the correct translation for North Western Railway. Kerry Shale voicing Kevin in the UK dub, which also happens in Hasty Hannah and not Kevin's later twenty-first series speaking roles. Ian McCue being a producer for Mattel Creations. He was promoted to creative executive in the twenty-first series.

One of the two Mainland Diesels last appearances until the twenty-fourth series episode, Thomas and the Royal Engine. References to the first series episode, Down the Mine, the second series episode, Thomas Comes to Breakfast and the special, The Adventure Begins are made. At Tidmouth Sheds, Percy voices his concern for Thomas' absence, but James doesn't care about Thomas and think Thomas got lost on the Mainland, fell down a mine, or crashed into a stationmaster's house. But the engines were very furious at James, and he blames it on Thomas himself.

According to a show reel by Chris Renshaw, when Thomas meets Lexi and Theo for the first time, the musical score would continue to play for much longer than in the final cut of the film. This was omitted for unknown reasons. James' American accent is heard when Frankie and Hurricane chase him into the steelworks in the UK dub.

Music Videos: Who's Thomas?, The Hottest Place in Town, We Can't Do Anything and The Most Important Thing is Being Friends Thomas clatters along at full speed, trying to deliver the eggs before they melt. Thomas is so excited about the Easter party, that he goes the wrong way. Thomas ends up heaving slowly up Gordon's Hill. Just then, Henry comes rumbling up behind Thomas, now with a boiler full of water. He is cross to see Thomas who should have been at Tidmouth by now. Thomas asks Henry to give him a push and the large engine agrees. Henry pushes Thomas, Hector and the huge Easter eggs with all his might and eventually they make it to Tidmouth just in time.When Frankie laughs and says "Well isn't he a clever little tank engine", her wheels are clipping through the rails. An image of Thomas from this special is re-used on the spine of the DVD release of the next special, Big World! Big Adventures!. The first time Hugh Bonneville, Colin McFarlane, Lucy Montgomery and Nicola Stapleton are part of the voice cast. Theo, Lexi, Hurricane and Frankie's only appearances, although Theo and Lexi are indirectly mentioned in the twenty-second series episode, Seeing is Believing.
