YMMV / Calling All Engines

• Anvilicious: The special has hammered down the message "steamies and diesels must work together".
• Crosses the Line Twice: The Steam Team having nightmares about their fates if the railway shut down? Not funny and tearjerking. The scenarios that they go through as a result of being scrapped? (E.G. Edward being turned into a scarecrow and James being turned into a coconut shy) So absurd that it becomes darkly humorous.
• Fanfic Fuel: What did the engines besides James, Gordon, Edward, Percy, and Thomas dream about?
• Nightmare Fuel: In the middle of the film, James, Gordon, Edward, and Percy have nightmares about what might happen to them if they are no longer deemed "useful", and some of their dreams are very surreal and disturbing... particularly Percy's. He dreams he's used as a roller coaster. He's also wearing goggles in his dream, making it look like he has massive bloodshot eyes.
• Signature Scene: The fight scene between the Steamies and Diesels.
• Tear Jerker: The song that was originally going to go with the aforementioned scene. Unlike other songs in the series, it's not cheerful in the slightest.
• Unexpected Character:
  • Absolutely no one expected Diesel 10, the Big Bad of Thomas and the Magic Railroad, to make an appearance here despite being sent away for his actions. This was due to popular toy sales centered around him. And it's safe to say no one expected him to return as a nicer character either.
  • And even fewer people expected Lady of all engines to make a cameo in Thomas's dream.
