Thomas pulls the trucks forward, jerking Timothy backwards suddenly. They trick Thomas into being coupled to a line of trucks, which are already coupled to a new oil-burning engine named Timothy from the other direction. However, Bill and Ben are in the mood for pranks.

When he first arrives, he can see no one, but after catching sight of one of the twins, he chases them to the other side of the quarry. Too)Ī bridge on Thomas' Branch Line is closed for maintenance, so Thomas has to go and work at the Clay Pits. 9th September 2014 ( US Digital Download).The CGI is great as usual from Arc Productions and I look forward to more specials soon. They were in good characterisation and there voice acting was splendid. The new characters are great too, we have Marion a bubbly steam shovel, who BTW is a female character doing a male oriented job, take that critics! Timothy, Reg, who is more of a plot device in the special and Gator, the voice of reason/big brother for Percy.

Some parents might say that this is 'scary' but they need to know life can be full of fears and that you can be braver then you think. The climax was much needed in the special to showcase Percy's bravery. Percy's story can be understandable to a child in the target range as the morals can reflect to children that go through with these in real life as well as other people too. The story has many great morals about bravery such as 'running away from your problems is not very brave', the highlight moral, 'being brave is not the same as not being scared, it's about what you do even when you do feel scared.' and one moral 'you have to be brave to say goodbye to someone.' which is at the end. I think the special is far more better then the previous Thomas specials. The movie focuses on Percy who believes there's a monster, after Thomas saw some footprints at the china clay pits, and so was scared and was teased, until he met Gator who was brave, but he can still be scared of somethings. After the success of King of The Railway in 2013 and like every other year, another new Thomas special is released under the pen of Andrew Brenner entitled 'Tale of The Brave'.
