With the rather underwhelming reception of Thomas & Friends: Misty Island Rescue (2010), it seemed as though the evidence was being taken in a management actually none of the original fans wanted. There was too much juvenile type fabric being thrown in and for no good reason. That didn't hateful that special didn't accept its fans, but it was far from the most pop entry. Notwithstanding what did leave people intrigued to see what was coming next came at the very cease of the special. The reason for that was the surprise appearance of Diesel 10, fore shadowing a plan that was going to be executed before long. The question was, did it pay off? To some degree yeah. This special is better than the concluding only information technology all the same has its hang ups unfortunately. That will be explained soon though.
The plot is actually a tad different from what would typically exist expected. The story focuses on Percy, believe it or not. After having a burn on the island, Sir Topham Hatt introduces burn down engines Belle and Flynn to the railway engines. With Thomas assigned to show Belle and Flynn effectually, Percy feels left out and forgotten. Thinking nobody wants him around anymore, Diesel convinces him to visit the Vicarstown Dieselworks. In charge of that area was none other than Diesel fuel ten. As Percy gets reintroduced to him and the other familiar diesels similar Mavis, Salty, Arry and Bert, he as well meets some new ones. Paxton, Sidney, Norman, Den and Dart are the fresh faces to be seen. There Percy befriends them and figures it would be better to aid them since none of the steam engines seem to notice him.
The screenplay to this feature was written again by Sharon Miller, who at this point did non accept a practiced reputation with the older fans of the testify. Here though, it seems like she heard some of the complaints. The fact that the story looks more than at Percy than Thomas is a good thought. Thomas doesn't have to be at the center of every story so that's fine. Percy is also the 2d oldest tank engine to exist on the isle and then it'south interesting to run across him get his ain narrative. Beingness that Greg Tiernan is directing again, at least he'southward open to become this route. What's nigh impressive however is the inclusion of Diesel ten into the story. The last time he was seen was in Thomas & Friends: Calling All Engines! (2005) and that in itself was a surprise. However the negative thing nearly this is the exclusion of other older characters. In that location'due south no mention of Lady, Splatter or Dodge, when in fact, these three could have definitely taken the spots of the new engines (diesel or steam) mentioned before.
Information technology's just strange to insert these sometime characters without any kind of background to past experiences. Nonetheless this doesn't hateful some of the new characters brought in aren't peculiar. Belle and Flynn are the best additions mainly because they do bring up the question of fires on the island. Certainly before them in that location have been other fires, but just exactly how was it handled? No need to worry at present with them on board. The voice cast continues to work well except for i. Teresa Gallagher voices Belle, Rupert Degas voices Dart, Keith Wickham voices Den and Matt Wilkinson voices Diesel 10. Sadly, information technology's Wilkinson who's the incorrect selection for Diesel 10. Someone in the same vein every bit Neil Crone or Keith Scott would take worked just fine. Here though Diesel 10 sounds less intimidating, his phonation is only also high pitched.
The dialog was too stock-still. Thankfully in that location is no rhyming involved in whatever scenes. That was 1 of the more than annoying elements of the past feature. As for appearances go, the visuals to this feature are as acceptable every bit they take been. The new characters all accept interesting railroad train designs and Diesel fuel 10'south rendering is accurate from past showings. For the locations largely featured in the show, fans will go to see places like the Sodor Search and Rescue Center, the Sodor Steam Works, Brendam Docks, Tidmouth Sheds, Knapford Station and even Henry's Tunnel. The newest place however is the Vicarstown Dieselworks that houses all of Sir Topham Hatt's diesel engines. Quite the contrast to that of the Steam Works. Lastly, the music was largely uneventful unfortunately. Composed surprisingly by Ed Welch, Peter Hartshorne and Robert Hartshorne, the music only isn't that compelling for the scenes shown, and no graphic symbol themes are heard. The merely tricky melody is the Solar day of the Diesel fuel's rock vocal at the very end. As well piddling besides late though.
With people falling over from the silliness that was Thomas & Friends: Misty Isle Rescue (2010), the quality has made a balmy return to grade for this feature. While it may still have issues with character backgrounds, and banal music, at that place are things to like about information technology. The story decides to focus on Percy instead of Thomas, the are some new and sometime returning characters to see and the animation is still well done.
