"Here comes Thomas!"note From left to right: Nia, Kana, Percy, Thomas and Diesel. Not pictured: Carly, Sandy, Gordon, Sir Topham Hatt and a lot of characters appearing in this show.Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go is a Continuity Reboot of the original Thomas & Friends series that premiered in 2021. As a result, the show is indirectly based on The Railway Series by the Rev. W. Awdry. Britt Allcroft is credited as the creator as she originally created the Thomas & Friends brand, despite having no involvement with this show. Originally announced as the 25th series of Thomas & Friends, it was later confirmed to be a new show with its own continuity and premise due to the original show being cancelled due to low, disappointing toy sales.In 2020, Mattel Television announced a new co-production partnership with Corus Entertainment's Nelvana Studio. 104 11-minute episodes and two 60-minute specials were greenlit for the Thomas & Friends television series over two seasons. The new format will feature "a new look and story structure", original songs and Thomas as the hero of every episode.Unlike the previous series, this one is 2-D animated and is the first in the franchise to not feature a narrator. It focuses on Thomas and his best friends Percy, Nia, Diesel and Kana as they work, play and learn on the Island of Sodor under the supervision of Team Dad Gordon. Thomas and his friends are depicted as much younger, and are now able to move themselves, no longer needing drivers or firemen. The episodes feature two segments each in a 11-minute format.The series debuted on Cartoonito in the US on September 13, 2021. The first episodes started airing in Mexico on Televisa's Canal 5 in August of 2021. | |

Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go / int_22cf536c | comment |
As stated above under Chekhov's Gun, what finally does allow the engines to remember what order they delivered the bones in was a musical number they performed. Though in this show, and many other children's shows, a song is usually just a one-and-done moment, in real life, putting words to the tune of music is bound to get it stuck on your head, and in many cases, has been used to help memorize things. | |

Unexpectedly Dark Episode: "Something Borrowed, Something Blue". Thomas' recklessness accidentally results in an avalanche that crushes his box car friend Boxy to pieces to a point that not even Carly and Sandy are able to fix him. It is currently one of the only episodes of the series to reference the phenomenon of scrapping. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Despite the numerous scientific liberties taken with the engines and how they function, several moments involving the engines, as well as general convention of other childrens' and preschool shows, have been deconstructed, especially starting with the Race for the Sodor Cup movie.. Race for the Sodor Cup: On two occasions, Percy tries to shout at Thomas and Kana to warn them of impending danger on the track, but they can't hear him. If you're several feet away from someone trying to shout at you, especially outside and trying to run a race, you won't be able to hear them clearly, if at all. This is deconstructed once more in "The Can-Do Submarine Crew" with Thomas and Percy trying to push a submarine from opposite ends. They shout at each other to try to communicate with each other, but of course, are unable to hear each other. Harold the Helicopter arrives to help them, but his rotors are too loud, complicating things further. Kana and later Farona and Frederico derail by speeding down Cannonball Curve. The only reason Kana doesn't do so the second time is because she was braking, plus she had her delivery and Thomas to slow her down. That one in particular is very surprisingly realistic, given how the engines in this show usually only jump off the rails on purpose, regardless of what logically could make them, but in real life, if a train or engine speeds too quickly around sharp curves, it will derail. Farona and Frederico raise the drawbridge to try to prevent Thomas and Kana from crossing the river. They aren't disqualified. So rather than try to fix the drawbridge or try to invoke the Honor Before Reason trope, they jump on a conveniently passing Bulstrode to pass. This would be considered cheating, but since their opponents did so and got away with it, it only makes sense for Thomas and Kana to do so as well. "Thomas and Percy's Eggscellent Adventure": After sliding the ingredients down a slide made of metal sheets and butter, Thomas and Percy try to slide down it carefully. The usual (and often criticized) movement of using their wheels as "hands and feet" is used when they try to slide down, but due to the butter on their wheels, they lose control and start sliding down themselves. There's almost no physical way for any vehicle with wheels or human with hands and feet to be able to get down a butter slide without sliding. "Tyrannosaurus Wrecks": After the engines forget what order they delivered the dinosaur bones in, Diesel and Kana get the idea to go back to where the bones were dug from, take a mental picture, and then tell Sandy. It doesn't help much. If you're not a paleontologist, much less someone who has trouble pronouncing that word, a mental picture isn't really going to help you assemble a dinosaur skeleton. That kind of work is meant for people who are professionally qualified; pure interest can only take you so far. As stated above under Chekhov's Gun, what finally does allow the engines to remember what order they delivered the bones in was a musical number they performed. Though in this show, and many other children's shows, a song is usually just a one-and-done moment, in real life, putting words to the tune of music is bound to get it stuck on your head, and in many cases, has been used to help memorize things. "Sir Topham Hatt's Hatt": The titular hat starts to blow away in a strong wind. The engines attempt to catch it... by blowing steam in the shape of a hand. However, they aren't physical hands. It's just steam, which naturally, blows the hat further away. | |

Adaptational Location Change | |
Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go / int_40b98588 | comment |
Adaptational Location Change: Played with. The show is still set in the Island of Sodor as was the case in the original books and TV series. However, whereas Sodor in the former two was a British setting in-between Great Britain and the Isle of Man (though it tends to vary in the original show), Sodor in this show is portrayed as a generic setting with no real ties to Britain. In the episode Overnight Stop, there is reference to the British town of Wayland, however, this is most likely a coincidence as the producer has said that it was named after his hometown and made to sound far away. | |

Adaptation Relationship Overhaul: Unlike in the books and the original show, Annie and Clarabel are no longer Thomas's coaches, as the two coaches are now primarily controlled by the adult engines (Gordon, James, Emily etc…). Thomas does get to use them every once in awhile and the three still have a close bond as shown a few times, but it's not anywhere close to the extent it was in the books and original TV show. As opposed to the antagonistic rivalry they had in the original show, Thomas and Diesel in this show are good friends, a bit of vitriol remains but leans more as Friendly Rivals. | |

Although Sir Topham Hatt (aka, the Fat Controller) is confirmed to appear in the show, he is also confirmed to be nowhere near as prominent as in the books and original show and his role as the main Reasonable Authority Figure and Team Dad has largely been taken up by Gordon and the other tender engines. | |

Anthropomorphic Shift: While in the books and the original show, the engines very much had the same limitations as real-life ones (though later seasons of the original show would play a bit more loosely with the limitations), here they can bounce around at whim, contort their chassis as if they were organic, and even use their wheels as arms and legs. | |

Eating Machine | |
Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go / int_c8c56598 | comment |
Eating Machine: Implied. No engine is actually seen eating, but Nia wants a cake at her celebration, never specifying whether she really just wants it for the human guests, and Percy says 'yum' when he smells gingerbread. | |

To the Tune of...: Some of the song numbers in this show are sung to the tune of older children's songs (EX: "Music is Everywhere" (from the episode of the same name) is sung to the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus") | |

Reasonable Authority Figure | |
Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go / int_dca70c44 | comment |
Although Sir Topham Hatt (aka, the Fat Controller) is confirmed to appear in the show, he is also confirmed to be nowhere near as prominent as in the books and original show and his role as the main Reasonable Authority Figure and Team Dad has largely been taken up by Gordon and the other tender engines. | |

Adaptation Species Change | |
Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go / int_e8497e34 | comment |
Adaptation Species Change: In the original, Carly was a dockside crane; here, she's a rail crane and is completely mobile like Thomas and the other engines. | |

Steam Never Dies | |
Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go / int_ec200a54 | comment |
Steam Never Dies: Played with; When it comes to characters original to All Engines Go, much of the cast based on railway vehicles are rarely steam-powered, including Kana, Sandy, Farona, Frederico, Riff, and Jiff. On the other hand, however, nearly every other locomotive character brought over from the original series (barring Diesel, Kenji, and Salty) is steam-powered. | |
