Trivia

 * The storyline of the movie is very similar to Big World! Big Adventures! and Pixar's Finding Nemo.
 * This is one of the longest movies in Thomas & Friends history, running at 164 minutes long.
 * In the movie, the Cars characters Introduced in the series actually know Thomas. So it's unknown how Thomas met them.
 * This special marks the first appearance of Chicago in the television series.
 * The first appearance of the original Teletubbies set in CGI.
 * Kayly Cuoco joins the voice cast.
 * The first time since Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure that Percy is not voiced by Nigel Pilkington. Instead, his voice is Keith Wickham.
 * When Thomas and Hayley zoom past the Teletubbies windmill at the end of the song, Nothing Can Stop Us, it spins fast. It's a very similar case in Streamlining when Streamlined Thomas zooms past the Sodor windmill.
 * At the end of the movie, after Ashima says that she loves Thomas and says goodbye to him before going to the Great Railway show on the ferry, the end music from Finding Nemo plays. The ending is very similar to the Finding Nemo ending.
 * Hayley is based off the model basis of Hong-Mei.

Goofs

 * When Thomas and Hayley are going through Teletubbyland and zoom past, the Teletubbies are heard falling over in the house, but do not physically appear. They are only seen as shadows. At the end of the song, they are also heard saying "Uh-Oh" when the windmill spins. But they are uncredited in the credits.
 * When Thomas starts to leaves Ashima behind with the portal time of 5 seconds, he is coupled to Ashima. But in the next scene, he is uncoupled from her.
 * As Ashima is going through the secret passageway to the Steelworks, her coupling clips through the passage.
 * In the scene where Thomas thinks that Ashima is dead, there is a truck that appears and disappears every second that Thomas is focused in.
 * When Ashima backs up beside Thomas in her berth, her lamp is off. But in the next scene, her lamp is on.
