Thomas and the Magic Railroad The Movie Page #3

Synopsis: Mr. Kahnen's supply of magic gold dust, which allows him to travel between Shining Time and Thomas's island, is critically low. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to get more. Meanwhile, Thomas is fending off attacks by the nasty diesel engines. Getting more gold dust will require help from Mr. C's slacker cousin, his new friend Lilly, and her morose grandfather, plus the secret engine he's hidden all these years and couldn't get running.

I have to see Sir Topham Hat

to get my orders right away.

The journey from Shining Time

keeps getting bumpier and bumpier.

Does it?

A big bully Diesel is back.

You had better be careful.

Sir Topham Hat warned me about Diesel.

Don't worry, Thomas.

I'll just pop in and out

with my sparkle wherever he goes...

and keep him in order, I hope.

Old McDiesel had a plan

Hee, hee, hee, hee, hee

Apinch-pinch here, a pinch-pinch there

Here a pinch, there a pinch

I crack myself up.

Tasha, the Conductor family has

a little steam engine...

with her own railroad,

and has wonderful energy because of it.

But a diesel wants to destroy her.

And without her, the Conductor's

universe will vanish.

The man with the sparkle told me that

one day one of his family will return...

but until then,

"Guard her well, young Burnett."

But I didn't guard you well.

I just don't...

seem to understand about...

magic anymore.

This is where Burnett's granddaughter,

Lily, comes into our story.

She lives with her mom and dad

in the big city...

a few hours train ride

from Shining Time.

She sees magic no one else has time to.

Like lovely reflections

of light on a rainy day.

Soon, she was off to stay

with her grandpa on Muffle Mountain.

Grandpa's been so sad

since Grandma Tasha died...

and he never comes here to see us.

Well, maybe your visit

will cheer him up.

Did you get his present?

Here. I'm making him

a friendship bracelet.

Honey, that's beautiful.

But I'd rather just stay here with you.

I know. Come here.

I'm gonna go up this way.

- Be careful.

- You always say that.

See you in a minute.

You're coming with me

to Grandpa's, Bluebird.

I know how much you like to travel.

Far away on Sodor, the steam engines

were confident, cheerful...

and determined

not to be bullied by Diesel.

OnlyJames, who now felt

really useful too, was complaining.

- Wobbly wheels.

- Puffy pistons.

Thomas, I should have collected

Mr. Conductor!

James is right, little Thomas.

Collecting Mr. Conductor

is an important job.

Important is big.

James is a big engine.

You, Thomas, are small, small, small.

Teeny, weenie, weenie.

And I am a big blue engine

who knows everything.

Bossy sprockets! All that steam

has gone to your funnel!

- There they are.

- We'll fix their wagons.

What's important is to stand up

on our own wheels to Diesel.

Diesel knows that the lost engine

in the legend really exists.

- What engine?

- What legend?

An engine whose magic makes her

more powerful than Diesel will ever be.

That's why he wants to find her.

- Then we'd better find her first.

- Leave it to the big engines.

Little engines can do big things...
