Thomas The Tank Engine: The Big Adventure
Tagline: You think you're too old for Thomas? Well, You're wrong! Whoever says you're too old for Thomas or anything are just judging a book by it's cover and needs to look at the quality like we do! Also, your childhood was for a good reason, not for nothing. Remember that little engines can do big things and we made tracks to great destinations.... believe..even when you grow up.. you can still believe.

Production

The idea came from BrendenReis10's Thomas The Movie, Eli loved BrendenReis10's models since they looked so movie-worth and Eli wanted to be more like him for inspiration, and when he had the idea of this film. Filming production has officially begun in December 19th, 2019. (Production was gonna begin in January 2020, but Eli decided to do the production a bit earlier) (https://www.instagram.com/p/B6PTkLNnS5q/) As of June 13th, 2020, the movie was cancelled and production was left unfinishded (https://www.instagram.com/p/CBW0VIPH18r/).

Trivia

1. Soundtrack will be worked on in October 2019, The Polar Express, Chicken Little and Postman Pat: The Movie soundtracks will be used as the soundtrack of the movie. Alan Silvestri, John Debney and Rupert Gregson Williams.
2. Timothy is best friends with Tillie and Casey Jr and they work together on the mainland. Thomas missed his brother, Timothy so much for many years.
3. The movie will be created for older, mature fans and adults that grew up with Thomas the Tank Engine and The Railway Series books.
4. A cancelled artist human character who lives in Australia and draws Thomas around the train stations in Queensland. The character is known as "The Artist", because drawing is his hobby AKA enthusiasm. (Artist means creator and the artist creates drawings)
5. Macie is named after RosieFan37 MH, one of Eli's friends. (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo7K2fy1IVEagZ6lB19WR8A)
6. This film will have some parodies and references. 
7. In the movie, the reason why Timothy is called "Timothy The Ghost Engine" is because his white/grey colors make him look a bit like one and Timothy thought it was a pretty fun name too.
8. Timothy was rebuilt into a Jinty (Which technically makes Macie the sister of Timothy since she is also a Jinty) and Thomas is the only E2 that isn't extinct. Timothy is also a good guy in this movie. 
9. The opening of the film references the opening of "Chicken Little" (2005).
10. The film's title words "The Tank Engine" shown in shiny glitter letters is a reference to the logo of "My Little Pony: The Movie" (2017). 
11. This film is a passion project to show Eli's enthusiasm on his inner child, model railways and other things too. (Some bonus features will have some family media for the little ones too, but the actual movie is for mature audiences and as long as the people who are watching it are mature enough too.)

13. This will be a collab film.
14. Marie's design is to parody Underground Ernie, Omar's design is to parody Chuggington 
    and Joe's is to parody Roary The Racing Car
15. Tillie and Casey Jr were built in 1881, Lee, Marie, Omar and Joe were built in the 1975, Macie was built in 1925, Smokey Joe was built in 1895, Ted was built in 2015 and Liam was built in 1966 (Though the basis for the diecast car that Liam is made out of is a Chevrolet built in 1955, but the real basis for Liam that Eli chose is a 1966 Ford vehicle, although the diecast basis is actually a 1955 Chevrolet, Eli felt like choosing to pretending that Liam was made of a 1966 Ford car since it was more interesting to him.) They all live at London. 
16. Macie's number is 1915, which is a reference to the year when Thomas was built and came to Sodor.
17. There was an original version for the opening of the film with scenes with The Artist and cuss words, but they won't be in the final version which will be more like a collab film. A book video of the story is shown now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSK66-CXL80

Soundtrack

The Soundtrack is Composed By Alan Silvestri (Polar Express music), Rupert Gregson Williams (Postman Pat: The Movie music) (Though Eli doesn't really like the Postman Pat film, he does love the soundtrack) and John Debney (Chicken Little music). Some bits of these soundtracks sound a bit like Thomas & Friends music to Eli (Which is an unpopular feeling) and he names some of the music some of the Thomas music themes for the film, but he won't mean actually the real themes, he means custom fan-made ones made from film music. Some little bits of music for the film will be scored by other composers too.
