The film received mixed reviews. It was released first in the UK where critics were unfamiliar with the characters from Shining Time Station and accused Thomas of being "Americanised". It received better reviews in the U.S. ("An enchanting ride." AP. "Delight for young moviegoers." Garnett News Service.) and was well liked by the young audiences for whom it was created, albeit a 20% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Since the film's release, various specials based on Thomas and Friends have been released, although they are not directly related to this film.
In 2007, it was revealed that the released film had been drastically cut from the original script written and shot by Britt Allcroft against her will.
