* AdaptationDeviation: The "Thomas and the Breakdown Train" segment is vastly different from the book and original episode. Originally, Thomas sees James being pushed by the trucks and crashes offscreen, and he had to fetch the breakdown train to help him. In the remake, Thomas tries and fails to save James from crashing before he derails.

* AnachronismStew: The movie was squeezed into the production schedule between season 18 and ''Sodor’s Legend of the Lost Treasure'', which meant a lot of things that had changed on Sodor since the first season went unaccounted for.

** Zig-zagged a bit involving Sir Topham Hatt and James' wooden brakes: for a train to still have wooden brakes at the time the series is set (late 1950s to the start of the 1960s), was a sign that its Controller was cheaping out on maintenance. In the books and the original series, James crashes on his first day on Sodor, and his brakes are immediately replaced. Here, however, James has been on Sodor for some time, yet Sir Topham Hatt never had his bad brakes fixed...
