Production[edit]
Confirmation of the film was first revealed in October of 2020, during the release of Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go, where it was announced that Marc Forster, director of movies such as Finding Neverland and World War Z, would be partnering with Mattel Films to direct and produce the film.[2][3][4] The film was also said to be a mix of CGI animation and live action with a four-quadrant format.[5] Robbie Brenner, the film's executive producer, has said that Thomas' story in the film will be told in "a modern and unexpected way."[4]
Thomas has been a personal favorite of mine since childhood, I couldn't be more excited to be working with Robbie and the entire team at Mattel, and embarking on this beautiful journey with such a timeless property.
— Marc Forster[3]
