This has been so long in the making. I am so proud to have been asked to play Henrietta in what has become the biggest role of my career. Thank you Tines and congratulations to all the cast and crew. Rest now, you all deserve it.
My god. The way that the truth behind Toby's existience is gradually revealed as all the pieces of the mystery are put together is just perfect as it easily keeps someone engaged in solving it while being entertained. The way that Thomas dying was handled was flawless as it is actually impactful due to what he means to Toby & everyone else. The ways that the other engines handle Toby's rising instability, Oliver's arrival, motives & overall suspiciousness, & adjusting to living alongside the diesels are exactly how you would expect them to act if you knew them for long enough. The cinematography of this film is of such quality it made me feel like I was experiencing the story first-hand. The music score certainly helps in setting the tone. Overall, this movie was incredible experience & worth the decade-long wait. :)
Holy. Hell. This is easily the highest quality and most well written fan-made Thomas production I’ve ever seen. I’m not even sure how to express how top notch this is. Tines, 100/10 my guy, you excelled yourself and blew every single expectation out of the water. The 10 years were beyond worth while.
I have so much to say, but I love how differently I processed what Oliver and Atherton were going through in this installment. Oliver doesn’t feel complete, and feels like he needs someone (and something) to get there. The frightening thing is you can get the thing you think you need and find out you still feel the exact same way as before. So much of your self-worth comes from within. What happens if your hybrid engine is taken away? If that was all you are, you are indeed no longer whole. What compliments this so well is Atherton’s depiction here. Subtle; but I felt like i locked onto it more than I ever have before. The respect and loyalty Atherton has for an engine as cunning as Oliver was very palpable. Atherton sees him as complete and wants Oliver to see it, but Oliver can’t accept it. I love the way you depicted two sides to not feeling whole. The grief within one’s self, and the disappointment and confusion others feel when they can’t help you see what they see.
Well… Thomas’ death scene actually disturbed me. The pieces scattering everywhere, Tobais’ evil face, the reaction of the other engines and especially Toby’s reaction, seeing it happen through his own eyes, and having no control over his body. It was so sad especially since Toby couldn’t anything about it whilst another person controlling his body is brutally murdering one of his closest friend in front of him.
To clear things up for some of you: Montague = put into a GWR Pannier body Toby = copy of Montague’s mind (with his engine) in Tobias’ body Tobias = consciousness still lurking in Toby’s mind
Thomas’s death actually had me shaking. By a lot. The way it was handled: His facial expressions, the parts flying into the sheds, the way we never fully see his body until the end of the scene, Toby’s screams and Tobias’s sinister smirk, all of it… it hit hard.
“This…is MY life!” “YOUR LIFE IS OVER!” God that line was so satisfying to hear. Oliver breaking away from Tobias’ influence was such a pleasure to watch.
Montague was right in the end. He knew Toby would be destroyed and turned into something worse. A monster who would destroy everyone. And everyone would turn on him. He saw it when Toby showed his strength.
This is magnificent. I feel so sorry for Oliver to be honest. He had such a toxic relationship with his brother, constantly made to feel small and useless, blamed for things that weren’t his fault. Doesn’t justify his actions though. The voice acting was unbelievable. The screams of agony. The meekness. The anger. All of it. I can’t help but think that the song, “The Mind Electric,” would fit perfectly with this film.
@@georgiamapping7803 I know it was very brutal, yes, but we have to keep in mind that it wasn't Toby that was in control. But in regards to your question, let's just say my mindset has to keep focused on stuff and not overthink it so much.
We just gunna ignore thomas ? Dawg was smashed in between tidmouth shed wall and Tobias’ cowcatcher front … Practically crushing his pipes inside his boiler what for a human is like being strangled round the neck with a rope . A slow and painful death . So I think thomas had it way worse … just my opinion tho !
The credits are playing as I'm writing this comment so I'm still experiencing the freshness of the whole movie. A decade in the making and a complete pay off without a doubt. Absolutely loved every second of this piece. The writing, the cinematography, the editing, the scoring is just marvelous, this is the definition of cinema. Comparing this to the first movie just shows how much has been improved in betweens these 10 years, no doubt this movie will inspire a great many just as the previous one did. A fantastic job Adam and an incredible work to everyone involved!
If anyone was playing the most important part of this movie, besides Toby, Henrietta, James and Oliver, that would be none other than Thomas the Tank Engine himself. His death won't be forgotten, because he passed as a brave, reasonable and responsible friend and hero.
I LOVE how Thomas' death was handled. It's the only death in the movie, which contrasts the 3 in Half-Pariah, but it's long, brutal, and REALLY shows how devastating the Tobias situation is. That is a quality over quantity situation I don't think I've EVER seen. Stellar show on your part! Can't wait to see what Tobias 3 is all about!
@@pepsijuan666Man his death was like that of a horror movie victim. Poor guy. At least his was quick. Thomas had to suffer for a bit before his face popped off like a bottle cap.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time! Tobias being evil, Toby being a good Montague, Oliver being Toby’s brother and him being the Arcane Merchant, THIS WHOLE MOVIE PERFECTION! I cannot wait for Part 3 of this series and thank you so much for creating this story! Let’s go Hybrid Engines!
Tines, words cannot describe how incredibly intense the awaited sequel was! My heart was pounding throughout most of the film, hearing your raw emotional moments. That’s some heavy fine work you did! Your music is amazing as always and the cinematography has certainly upped a level or two. Thanks for having me on board as one of the coaches! Was a pleasure to voice a small part in such a fantastic film! Can’t wait to see part three! Merry Christmas Tines!
@@LizProductions5784 You've done an absolutely amazing job Liz! Especially as one of the coaches. I knew when Daisy bumped the coaches out of the shed for calling Henrietta that 'tidbit' the coaches braked to a halt. It certainly was worth the watch!
@@LizProductions5784Let's hope both Percy and Edward will defend their Island and help Toby, Daisy, Henrietta, and Atherton from James and Henry's grasps.
2:05:08 Can't say I didn't expect this to happened, was almost very hard to watch. Watched Half-Pariah back when it first came out in 2024 and man I'm glad it got the sequel it deserved. Keep it up Tines. Here's to another 10 years of Tobias!
Where the hell are the employees and who is allowing this to happen? Did fathat disappear or something and who is turning the turntable along with setting the points allowing toby to go where he needs to
@@JoeTheTaxEvaderin this it was more Toby and Thomas were the best friends in this … But I get what you mean … I personally feel bad for Thomas … he got killed mercifully by his feet frirnd it seemed … I mean GOD DAUMMMN TOBIAS IS RUTHLESS oh dear … he broke … That sent CHILLS down my spine .
I've finally managed to assemble my thoughts together. Masterpiece, magnum opus, the GOAT of Thomas fan projects, it's not enough to describe this film. I've been an admirer of yours for years, and any of my friends in the fandom will tell you how much I've looked forward to this project for the last few months. I've listened to all the soundtrack previews (both here and on Spotify), watched the clips, the trailers, everything. What a thought was gonna be a fun but haunting story took my expectations and cranked them up to 11. I have so much to say about this movie, but I'll try and keep this as brief as possible. The visuals and the score absolutely took my breath away. Just the soundtrack alone, reading the description and seeing the various programs and add-ons used is stunning. You wanted nothing less than perfection, and perfection is what you got. And visually too, my god this movie was GORGEOUS. I can't count the number of times the sky backdrop alone distracted me from what was going on. The camera work was insane too. You took TRAINZ to its full potential with this, capitalizing on what so many model users and merchandise users dream of doing. Full 360 shots, huge wideouts, going underneath the engines' chassis, massive sets, the list goes on. The characters were incredible in this too. Atherton's little redemption was well done, Thomas was so lovable, Henrietta and Daisy were amazing, and Toby was his usual MVP-self. I liked James and Henry in this, but they definitely became less likable towards the end. I actually started to garner a lot of sympathy towards Montague in this as well, he's a lot more likable here. Tobias was an incredible villain. He's just such an ass to everyone around him, especially Oliver. Speaking of him, Oliver is the best character of the film in my opinion. His backstory is so well done. He appears threatening and scary at first. Then we see him as weak and cowardly, and I was very curious to see where we'd go with him. And at the end, he gets this incredible full circle monologue that brings Tobias to his knees. It's incredible. He's so well written, he has incredible dialogue, and John Robledo did a fantastic job voicing him. Kudos to the voice cast as well. I've already touched on Robledo, but good lord Caitlin and Mr. Berkshire deserve some praise as well. Mr. Berkshire pulled off Tobias so well, it actually took me a good 20 minutes to realize it was a different actor entirely, and I think that's worthy of praise. Adam, you of course did a fantastic job as Toby as well. But good lord, man, please tell me you drank plenty of water when you recorded your lines! Your poor lungs! Overall though, good god was the project a beast. After I finished, I genuinely had to sit in my bedroom for a good hour just to soak it all in. I remember watching Half Pariah as a younger kid, and I remember eagerly waiting for the sequel. But I never thought it'd surpass Half Pariah the way it did. Arcane Merchant didn't just soar past Half Pariah, it brought its ranking up with it. Half Pariah walked so Arcane Merchant could jog, but Half Pariah starting jogging too! Knowing you, the last movie will make the entire trilogy sprint! What a kickass movie, dude. Standing ovations, oscars, countless comments of praise, it's not enough. You've earned every ounce of support you've earned and will earn. Well done, Adam.
I've seen so much in this fandom as a kid that made me scared, but the scene of Thomas being brutally killed is perhaps one of most bone chilling things i have ever saw, and almost made me shaking in horror by that... The screams of Toby and Tobias as the parts flies all over the sheds... I-I've never felt that for a freaking Thomas' Fan Film... Just Bravo Tines! Keep up with whatever you wanna go fowards with your new job and your career!
Good lord… Ten years… Ten years in the making. It might take more ten years for the final part in this trilogy to release the final chapter in this series. Heck, for all we know, you were working on the third movie while making this one… But, it’ll be worth it. Because this was worth the wait! This is true cinema! This is what Hollywood wishes it could be: engaging from beginning to end, yet it still tells a story! Oliver is one of my favorite characters. And my word, you’ve built up upon him in ways I can’t even begin to describe! It makes sense now that Oliver gravitated to Montague when he converted, because he was also a different engine in another life. He also wanted to be something bigger than a simple tram… But he was clouded by delusions of bulit up hatred and promise… And now, he’s going to be a bigger threat then Montague could think of being. And Toby… Poor Toby. It’s strange thinking that Toby was a shorten name of Tobias, because Tobias is a horrid engine. It makes now why he pulled out that train too heavy for him. He was a cocky, stubborn, and hatful engine. We saw that with what he did with Thomas… Poor Thomas… And now, we shall wait… Wait for what James and Henry will do. Wait for the nobody to become a somebody. And wait for the half-pariah to truly split, once and for all…
Hi Tines Sensahthe, I only watched your first movie ‘Tobias and The Half Pariah’ about a week ago, never watching it before and it was such a thrill to watch. This movie however was a whole different level. The writing first of all was outstanding. It was a genius move to create Oliver as an engine that just wants his brother back but never gets what he wanted. Daisy was a comic relief with all the action as well. You guys write everyone well. The visual effects are not able to be described as words, with you guys having assiduity with the lighting. You really surprised everyone and brought 1.6K people. Poor Thomas as well. Can’t wait to see the next film! Great job again and fantastic work to everyone apart of this.
The movie was a banger. Wasn’t expecting Thomas to die. And watching Toby just get so traumatized seeing his first friend who accepted him on his first day on Sodor die by his buffers was so emotional. But R.I.P the little blue engine we’ll all miss you.
@@tonybusch8771 I hope that was the case. But I don’t think that will happen. Maybe we will see an alternate universe version of both. Maybe this could be just one universe where Toby is the hybrid engine, and in other universes Thomas, Gordon or many others could be hybrid engines, and have been through what this Toby has. Heck, the magic railroad could be seen as the bridge between these universes. And the other hybrids could come help Toby save sodor and stop James, once and for all.
I can’t even begin to fathom how good this is. I mean, the cliff hangers with Oliver and Toby. I cant wait for the third movie! I have been following this series for a long time! I was in all the way across the country when I heard the announcement for this and I could hardly wait for what this was gonna have in store!!! Great job, and keep up the good work!!!!!
Ngl my favorite part of this was when James became a dictator, which is what he believed Toby was doing, James became the very thing he was fighting against. The next one boutta be insane lmao.
To be fair he had reason to be skeptical of the very diesels that originally came to island to bring terror under Montague. Plus I think he is doing it out of retaliation for Thomas' death.
@@kazanu23 The best part is that there is no Optimus in this story, theres only a Megatron, and a Sentinel, and James and Toby both think their the Optimus, when their really just the Megatron and the Sentinel.
Ten years. Ten. Whole. Years. And now, the wait is over...and it was worth it. For all your hard work, I congratulate you and your team for it. Rest now, Adam. You deserve it.
Saying this is a masterpiece is an understatement. There is so much to take away. The themes about identity, finding your purpose, continual growth of evil, feminism, etc. are all on display with genuine cinematic prowess. The first movie really built up Toby's journey to becoming a hero, and in this one he has all that completely ripped away piece by piece. You forget the 3 hour run time because you know to create continual unease and build tension with unrelenting drama. And when things get serious, they get really scary. This movie really digs into the psychological horror aspect of the hybrid concept, and it's genuinely terrifying seeing the journey the characters go through as chaos slowly but surely overwhelms everyone. From the horrific mind games to the eerie face work to the brutal death scenes, on top of an all-around stellar voice cast, a pulse-pounding score, and pitch-perfect sound editing, this knows when to come out swinging with everything it has got. Henrietta and Daisy absolutely steal the movie for me, which speaks so much on how much you made the lead female characters so strong, layered, and sympathetic. A lot of that is thanks to their incredible vocal performances, especially Cait as Henrietta. They absolutely deserve the best performance award in a Thomas production of the year. Of course, you bring everything you got for the scenes where Toby is pushed to his limit. Berkshire really sells how much of a threat Tobias is, and John makes for an incredibly tragic and sympathetic antagonist in Oliver. All in all, this is an incredibly emotionally eviscerating follow up to a fantastic first installment that more than lives up to the predecessor's impact, and I eagerly await to see how all of this wraps up in the final part of this trilogy, and I am so grateful to have played a small part in its creation. Even after all these years, this still feels 100% you and your feelings at work, and it shouldn't be any other way.
10 years ago, I was a young lad amazed by Half-Pariah. Ten years later, the long-awaited sequel to that EXCELLENT fanfilm can finally be released! I may be 17 minutes into the film atm, but I've enjoyed every second of it! Stellar work, Tines!
After watching the premiere of TATAM, my mind is just blown away from the film alone and I wanna give out my honest opinions. The VFX, Voice Acting, Sound Design, hell even Cinematography was spectacular! Kudos to you and everyone else involved in this film!
I already talked about this on Twitter, but this was a "holy shit experience" after it was over. Definitly an intense story, but you ability to take your ideas and go all the way is remarkable. Everything has probably been said already, but as a musician, I want to give extra praise to the voice acting and the music: Your music is so filled with drama and intensity, and you have an excellent ear for placing emotions in the music to what's going on in the picture. From someone who loves music to film - this is admirable. Your score does more than what I thought was possible with DAW - it's so expressive and fluid! I can tell there is a lot of effort and thought behind it. I don't know how much you "direct" your VA's, but everybody has understood the assignment. Nothing feels phoney, nobody feels like they are just reading the script - everybody has a convincing performance. Everyone sells it. This is a feat for both you and fan production in general. You should be proud of what you've created - it's something to behold.
This movie is peak cinema. From the opning scene with Montague to the ending this movie never fails to disappoint. The darker tone is a welcome change, The visuals and VFX are out of this world, the reprising of character themes are amazing and don’t even get me started on the voice acting! Tobias is nothing short of an amazing villain. He is such an awful and nasty engine that you just love to hate. You don’t like him when he abuses Oliver. You HATE him when he kills the guard and when he murders Thomas oh man YOU JUST WANT THIS STUPID TRAM DEAD. He is an amazing villain who to be fair kinda got better than he deserved in the end. Oliver is probably the stand out character for me. He starts out with one goal only and by the end the achieves it. You absolutely smashed it Tines!!! I am beyond excited for the sequel!! The fact that by the time i am writing this comment it has been 4 days since the movie came out because i was just processing what happened. That really goes to show how good the movie is.
I was 7 when Tobias and the Half Pariah came out, now I’m 17 and this film blew my expectations out of the water! This truly was an experience and was enjoyable for every second. Amazing work Tines.
I never thought that I would cry. 3 Times from a fan-made thomas film. Cinematics, VFX, music / score was impecible, voice acting - top notch. Rhys Griffin. You did Thomas justice. Like holy crap. Amazing work from everyone.
In all my long years in the Thomas fandom, never have I been more amazed and absolutely astounded by one of the absolute BEST fan films in YEARS. This was worth the 10 year wait! I absolutely loved everything about this film! The story and the VFX were absolutely jaw dropping for something to be filmed in Trainz Simulator! This was a magnificent sequel and a brilliant MASTERPIECE! Loved this film a lot, Adam! So glad to see it on the premiere man! 🎉
This is the Dark Knight of the the Thomas the Tank Engine Universe. I love how you handle Oliver's Arc in this movie. I remember I was little when Half Pariah came out and watch it with my family. This had me in tears. I hope for a continuation eventually You are truly amazing
Adam, this was PHENOMENAL. Exceeded my wildest dreams. Seems like a lifetime ago I was peeking at early drafts and even longer since I was blown away by the original. You didn’t just translate that story from page to screen, you magnified it in the full glory it deserves. I’m so proud and thrilled to see all your hard work pay off in a brilliant tapestry of time, love, and mastery. Merry Christmas, and bravo, my friend!
Thank you so, so much Milky! It meant the world that you helped me out with those early drafts, really helped me hone in on the plot and character points that really mattered, and helped me shape the movie into what it is today. I literally could not have done this without your help. Thank you so much for your support the past 10 years. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you, as well, my friend!
As I sit in my grandmas house during this Christmas season, I realize that it was exactly 10 years ago when I found this video. And as I sit here watching it just turned 20, I’m glad to say the Thomas magic is still here and strong. This is just such an amazing Thomas fan production, props to all involved!
Just. Oh my god. Holy shit. Dude. dUUUUUDEEE. I don't know what else to say that I haven't already said and resaid a thousand times by now - this movie is just incredible. It oozes passion from every sewn piece. The music, the acting, the writing, the editng. eVERYTHINGGGGGG. its so so good. again i cant get over the music - the use of motifs throughout the film from the bombastic Daisy to the longing Henrietta to Oliver's grand crescendo at the very end. I wish I had more new words to say for how much I adore this film and how proud I am of ye for it. Its simply incredible.
This is my favourite movie of all time. I watched it with a friend who isn't a Thomas fan and he loved it just as much as me. You haven't just made an outstanding Thomas movie, you've created a cinematic masterpiece that anyone can enjoy. The entire cast is outstanding, the storytelling is above and beyond and that soundtrack is unbelievable. Adam, I truly hope you're proud. I hope you know just how good this movie is and I hope you know just how much the Tobias -franchise means to me and many others. Thank you. You are one of the good things.
It seems everyone is going on about the Thomas death sene … don’t blame them It’s hard to see your childhood character get killed by another on screen … Not to mention the before of him being in agony and the middle bit of his body coming apart into little pieces … then the part of Oh dear … he broke … GOD DAMMN TOBIAS IS RUTHLESS good acting from everyone !
10 years later, 17-year-old me just watched a fan film that was beyond what anyone could imagine. A decade in the making. I had high, high hopes for this movie. Now, I am left speechless, in awe in what I've just witnessed. This has transcended every dingle expectation I had for this movie, the cinematography, framing, editing, characters, sets, colours... it's all so much more than what I ever thought would come from this film - a fan film I might add. Tines, you've created something incredible. It'll surely be polarising, but I love that it is. It's something new and beautiful for this fandom. You've really impressed me and so many other people. This stands as a testament for what's possible and what's to come. 10/10.
This is one HELLUVA SEQUEL. Apart from building upon the story and raising the stakes even higher, I LOVE how Daisy was characterized in this. She went from uptight, highly sprung diesel to MVP in the story and I live for that. When I first saw the teaser for Daisy, I thought she was going to be one hell of a diesel enemy for Henrietta, but thank god I was wrong. I'm absolutely amazed by their dynamic and I know Henrietta would go bananas should Daisy perish in the third movie. Speaking of the third movie, I am willing to wait TEN MORE YEARS for that! Tines, you are one of the greats in the Thomas fandom, taking the franchise and reinventing the wheel when it comes to incorporating fantasy and sci fi aspects to the series.
I think it’s basic super saiyan or ikari when you think about it and its the case of two conscious beings in one form or in other words a fail fusion of sorts 🤔
10 years ago, 7-year-old me watched a fan film that defined his childhood. Ten years later, that fan film will get a sequel, and I will be here the second it releases. Thank you, Tines. For bringing us a sequel that will surely live up to the original.
Tines, holy crap. You did it. This sequel trounces on the original. I already know I’ll be watching it again and again. You’ve destroyed any expectations I had and brought forth something truly special. Bravo.
Holy. . .F**KING. . .CRAP!! This was. . .PEAK!! If I had any indication of being on the edge of my seat this Christmas, you’ve definitely earned that award, Adam! From your story alone; not to mention the visuals and the score itself, you slayed it out of the park in terms of film and quality!! This whole anticipation was 10 Years worth. . .every. . .waiting moment! You, the cast and everyone else’s involvement in this twisted yet beautiful piece of cinema blew my expectations away! All I pray for is that Part 3 can live up to its predecessor. Because let me tell you, if the third act was able to make me shed a tear, I don’t even want to begin knowing how you’ll be able to conclude this ‘soon-to-be’ trilogy! The sky has and is bound to be limitless in your favor, mate, so don’t waste it; and keep our hopes high until the end! Cheers to you, Adam! And, once again. . .Thank You!
I see a lot of people talking about how brutal the death of Thomas was, and yeah I agree when I watched that scene I think I burned about 300 calories, but the scene made me think about how great of a character Thomas was. He was the most loyal character in this saga, he stood by Toby when he first met him at the quarry, he stood by Toby when Gordon kidnapped him, he stood by Toby & had his back when the diesels invaded the island & got into a physical fight to protect him. Thomas was the most loyal son of a bitch anyone could ask for. He was always loyal, he was Toby’s right hand man & always looked out for him. What I also love is that his loyalty & faith in Toby is what got him killed. He had so much faith that he could get the old Toby back that he fearlessly scolded an insane, narcissistic & violent creep. His loyalty to Toby is what led him to his death. Simply incredible character, Tines. Other than Gordon, by far my favourite character in the saga. Excellent work on this movie, 9/10.
Indeed, Tines' characterization of Thomas was so well done it almost made me cry! One of the best friends Toby could've asked for a long with Percy and Edward. 😭😭
@littlewestern0969 Thomas in these movies was like a dog He had faith in toby but Poor Thomas did not know it was not toby and like you said he stood with toby and his faith and loyalty got him killed sadly but imagine all the possibilities for the next movie
I've just came across this masterpiece this morning and my god THIS WAS AMAZING!! This is hands down one of the most amazing fan projects I've ever seen! congratulations cause I can say 100% the 10 years needed to create this was all worth it. I cannot wait to see what future projects you create! And to all the cast and crew that was apart of this you've all deserve praise for your roles, well done to you all!
Merry Christmas Tines! Well done on this film! It was an honor to voice Thomas and Atherton in your films and I can't wait to see what part 3 will bring. But definitely take time to relax first. You deserve it after 10 years of commitment to this project! The first film was really good, and this one is great! I'm sure part 3 will be fantastic! I'm going to miss voicing Thomas, he was determined to the end!
This is one of the most demented, disturbing, and distressing. Thomas and friends fan made movies every made. And it's a masterpiece astounding work Tine.
Wow, just wow I I’m blown away by how good this movie was. Thomas,s death really had me on the edge of my seat and the fire rescue part was also my favorite. R.I. P Thomas , Gordon
It's as if not a day has passed. If there was one, singular project I could point out to introduce someone to the potential of storytelling through non-human characters, this would be it.
This was definitely worth the 10 year wait for how much improvement and powerful cinematography went into this. I may be a minor in the film, but I'm in eternally grateful to be apart in something so big that I never would have thought I be accepted in! This is better than how I imagined it to be when I first read the two different scripts! Thank you for letting me be part of this, Tines! I also want to emphasis to everyone reading my comment without spoiling, I was fully aware as to what would happen to Thomas in this. While it was good to know what was going to happen ahead of time, I was not expecting how this film would go to the extreme lengths as opposed to that _other_ video from 2015 we shall never talk about, and how I originally pictured it in my head when I read the script(s). If this had been released early as far back as 2017, it would have immediately turned me off. Though I am older now, and seeing it for the first time how crazy it was put together, I'm not bothered by the dark sequence one bit. But _THIS IS_ Tines Sensahthe's movie, and it's _his_ own story. So it's obvious he can do whatever and make a full-on impression of himself for how much of a incredible content creator he is becoming. And it _is_ an alternate universe, friendly reminder. Far better than Sodor Fallout, I must say! That all I will say, but in short - don't let that one scene dismay you from everything else about this film. Nor let it stop you from enjoying this. Subject aside - this movie is top peak for how out of this world it is. No other words and expressions can describe how the visual effects, animation, action, etc. is amazing. 10 years was worth the wait! I'm glad it's finally finished and now released. And, again, I'm more than glad to have taken part in something so big. Even if it's a small minor role, it's the littlest things that means a lot the most that can have a big impact, and go a long way. Even after watching the premiere's post credits, and I don't know if any of you agree or have stuck to the end, I can't help but feel there may be one more movie in the planning stages, that might be coming out in 2034 to complete this sage. Or maybe not, who knows? We don't know anything at this point! Better to just let the man of the hour himself finally rest, focus on his personal life, and he'll get back to us on what he says. No guarantees that a final film to make it a complete trilogy saga will ever happen! Don't take my word for it. All in all - the movie was very intense and amazing. Tines had done another fantastic work! Thank you again for letting me be part of this, mate, it's such an honour! Rest easy now, and have a Merry Christmas, you deserve a long break now!
I can't even describe how I feel about this, except how amazing this is. I'm still shaking from the fantastic, dramatic roller coaster that's been in the works for a decade. Taking your time really paid off. If/when you make the next movie, take your time again, even if it'll be another decade. Half Pariah was already good back then when I found it all those years ago. This tops it by a long shot. Keep up the good work
While his backstory is very tragic, it doesn't justify he can bring the past 'Tobias' back! He made poor Toby suffer and pretty much ruined his reputation. He has some remorse for his actions, but all he wanted was for someone too appreciate his existence!
@@neikowilburn4078I don’t think he brought Tobias back to have a pleasant reunion. Oliver was fully aware of how cynical and diabolical his brother was. He did it to bring his own desire of being a hybrid engine to fruition. Yes he was remorseful, but it was all in the name of being something more. It’s hard to describe him as a full villain. Oliver never intended for others to get hurt in this, but he cared about being something more. He was broken for sure. But his ambition and his actions put others at risk. His return caused a massive ripple effect that resulted in Toby’s reputation being tarnished beyond recognition. James becoming a dictator and banishing all diesels from Sodor, and the gruesome death of Thomas. When the 3rd movie is released, I think it’ll be best to asses then if he can be classified as a villain. Yes he wants to be somebody(and become a hybrid engine) but for what purpose exactly? A hero to others? A villain of the railways? Yes he wants to be appreciated, but in what capacity? Yes he wanted to be strong, brave, confident, but there’s more to it. He’s clearly ambitious, and the true extent of his ambitions have yet to be seen. We will just have to wait and see
@kevinsanchez4808 It could be both in his mind, he may sacrifice himself for real in the 3rd film. That is if 'Our Toby' can get through to him in some retrospects.
God this deserves so much more attention istg, the amount of detail and effort was put in this, and it’s so visible that it radiates off of the screen, the voice acting, sound detailing just everything has the epitome of heart and soul put into it. 1000/10, you all deserve a round of applause!
For the third one , I think Thomas and Gordon are ghosts who mentor Toby through his harships, and James will probably be the second antagonist, along with Oliver being the main threat to Toby. This movie was the most intense and well written Thomas fan movie I have ever seen with beautiful visuals and voice acting. This was like seeing a movie in cinemas.
That's exactly I was thinking too! Let's hope Henrietta, Daisy, Dana Laurence, and the rest of Toby's friends, help him through from the 'mental' experience.
You could say, Oliver is the brains and 'Tobias' is the brawls in these situations. I did find it a bit heartwarming with their heartfelt reunion and the sea shanty they learned from the dock workers. I felt bad for him too. Even if he was broken, it costed Toby's reputation.
40:12 idk if anybody’s noticed this but the way Oliver was looking at Toby in this moment… it was like a little brother looking at his bigger brother for protection. And in that moment, Toby ended up protecting Oliver as though he were his own, not like a Sudrian, but like his own kin. And now that we got the context that Toby is really Tobias on the outside while carrying a part of Montague’s conscious… his good side… it all adds up. It was this scene alone where Toby became Oliver’s real big brother! Not Tobias, TOBY!! Let’s also give Montague some credit as he was the one to tell Oliver that his brother is a bad influence and that he can do better than him, a true friend, as though a sort of surrogate brother! Sure, Tobias might have cared for his little brother, but it seemed to him like he was more of an accessory than an ally, especially noticing his faults. He only cared about power and dominance over others, and more importantly HIMSELF! But the unfortunate thing about this is that Oliver had been broken mentally and physically for so long by someone who was supposed to be his older brother and made him feel like he was nothing. Furthermore, he was too blinded by his own insecurities and more importantly his delusions that he was destined for something greater than he was that he warped Montague’s and Atherton’s words into something more twisted and diabolical. Furthermore, he was too blind to see that it was in THIS moment that Toby/Montague was his true big brother. Oliver truly is a broken character of pure evil and his downfall of indulging into his delusions are what make him worse than his own brother. Spot-on character writing Tines! Definitely worth the wait!!
I’ve watched the film twice now and I can’t put how good this project is into words, everything about it is perfect, but Oliver, oh my goodness what a character, He might be the best villain i’ve ever seen in a thomas project, I almost found myself rooting for him at times due to his backstory and his relationship with Tobias
This is hands down one of the best fan made animated motion pictures to grace this website. You have cooked not just for the Thomas fandom, but for all of the aspiring filmmakers out there on the internet. The sheer, raw emotion that can be drawn from pngs on trains in this film is nothing short of a cinematic genius and I literally felt like I was freaking out at every point past the 5 minute mark. Bravo to you and your team Adam, bravo to all of your team! And Merry Christmas, thank you for blessing us with this gift.
as a former thomas fan i got a chill down my muthafreakin spine so heartbreaking that our number 1 hero had to die under the hands or buffers in this case of tobias but congrats on the film reagardless
Happy to be a part of history! Edit: Finally watched the movie and whilst it does take a while to get going, BOY does it get going! The psychological horror here was a particular standout and gave an added layer of gravitas to an already impactful and imaginative cinematic canon. Whilst the first film may have alienated some audiences with its absurdity, it feels Tines has a much clearer idea of what this film is as a piece of art and rolls with the bonkers sometimes confusing nature of it all. I’m just gonna say this now, but this was the project the fandom needed as a spark of creativity, opening up the imagination of what we can achieve not just on a technical level but what kind of stories we can tell. Don’t be afraid to make something unrealistic and absurd! There’s more to these characters than just the realism!
I am genuinely so amazed. this is one of the most impressive and passion filled projects I have ever seen. Your direction and composition is so dynamic; every sequence had me hooked by the actors with the sound mixing complimented so wonderfully done by the score. the ups and downs were driving me crazy, it is just so so good. be very proud of yourself for your hard work, you have such an amazing gift and it shows. as a huge fan of your work, thank you for being such an inspiration and a creator
The casting was well spot on. So much years we’ve been waiting. Seeing what happened to Oliver, if he gets a new shape, I wonder how monstrous he would turn out to be. The layout for the abandoned factory was brilliant. If Victor Tanzig had that set, boy what ideas he could’ve used with it.
I remember when Tobias and the Half Pariah was new. All the way back in 2014. Take of the Brave was new then too but half pariah grabbed my attention in a way few Thomas fan projects have. It’s been a wild 10 years since the first movie and I’m no longer a boy but our collective love for Thomas has not changed one bit no matter the state of the franchise. Projects like half pariah and now arcane merchant are proof that we as a fandom can evolve and improve when we love something as much as Thomas. I can’t wait to see this movie in three days time and I have no doubt the 10 year wait will be worth it. Edit: IT WAS WORTH IT
I have waited ten years for this sequel. And after what I just saw, I'm going to wait ten more years for the next. That was easily one of the best fan projects I have seen in the Thomas community. Everything from the VFX to the voice acting was incredible.Everyone who worked on this project was giving their 110%. Amazing job to everyone!
Tines, this is nothing short of amazing, this releases nearly 4 years since the first trailer was seen. The attention and effort towards this has been nothing short of incredible and I think I speak for everyone when I say thank you so much for bringing us this absolutely fantastic movie! Also that thumbnail is absolutely the definition of cinematic.
I can’t believe it. 10 years later. I watched the first movie when it first came out, now i’m an adult and woah. I can’t gather my thoughts yet, but this was HUGE. HUGEEEEEE. What a story, completely changes everything we thought we knew. I know its SOOOOOOO EARLY but damn, I smell a trilogy? well done brother, this was just out of this world
Times… are you okay? That was brutal, holy fu-. I’ve only been speechless after watching a movie before one other time and that was when I saw Oppenheimer for the first time. That was bloody incredible!
So let me get this straight : Montague was a weak diesel that was taken to the junk yard. Then Oliver appears, who was entrusted by the workers to find a weak locomotive so that they can turn it into a super locomotive. This happens and Montegue becomes a strong diesel who is respected by all the other diesels, meanwhile Oliver (who is constantly sick and thus feels smaller than his brother Tobias) The workers promise to turn Oliver into a powerful locomotive, but then the British government comes and bans the whole project. Meanwhile, the "accident" occurs (here comes the part I don't understand) so, Tobias gets the "power" and the copy of Montague's personality (which pushes the real Tobias' consciousness into darkness for 18 years) meanwhile, Montague is put into a weak locomotive and loses his "power" Oliver will also be transferred, but before they can give him "strength" the workers must hide so that the British government does not imprison them
We now have to see a part 3, like damn this was fire. Also never thought Oliver was Tobias’ brother. If there is a third movie I hope it’s just as good as before!
Man, Thomas' death made me more horrified than I had seen the whole shed 17 story. I really am speechless for this highly VERY creative work of art, you are the best!
Prediction for the sequel: They meet the designers and they begin trying to fix Toby and separate Tobias from him. They also learned one of the designers has a device that could bring back the dead, but it can only be used once. Oliver attempts to find it so he could bring back his only friend Montague. But Toby and Henrietta think they could use it to bring back Thomas. However the Flying Scotsman catches wind of this and tries to use it to bring back his brother Gordon. He blames both Monty and Toby for his demise.
not sure if you remember but im the ex worldofsodor that worked with you on the tcc with the guys, being absent for 8 years im so amazed and proud of this for you! makes me miss the world so much. looking forward to the next my man!
I saw this movie before everyone else thanks to a buddy, this movie is one of the greatest things ever made. The graphics, the cinematography, the VOICE ACTING! it all culminated into this fantastic film, which is inspiring me in many ways for my own projects right now. Well done man
I remember seeing Half-Pariah back when I was a kid, and being completely blown away by it! The story, editing and music were all so good for the time, and even hold up really well today. And now, it's time to be blown away all over again lol. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE PREMIERE!
This is the greatest Christmas present of 2024. Thank you for all the hard work and effort you've done for us Tines. I KNOW this movie is going to be a masterpiece.
One of my friends who helped out with this gave us a preview by saying that Half-Pariah was "Batman Begins" while this would be "The Dark Knight"... I think that was an understatement Well done man, I don't think my heart has ever pounded that hard for any other Thomas fan project! Now I'm looking at my Bachmann Toby funny...
It’s officially 3AM, I am honestly so glad this took so long to come out because it gave me time to really understand and go through Tobias and the Half Pariah aswell as gave us the blessing to have THIS. I really wanna go to sleep and not that I have much to say in this state regardless but it was SO MUCH MORE THAN I COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED. I thought the story was going to conclude but it feels as if it’s only just begun and I remember feeling the exact same way 10 years ago. I really appreciate how despite being a decade later we are able to have so many parts stay the same, it really helps this feel like a sequel but my GOD THE VISUALS ARE SOMETHING ELSE. Are you okay, do I need to get a box of emotional support cookies for myself or for you? I also don’t know why I thought this was the end of Tobias’ story it feels like the BEGINNING. This has to be the most innovative project I’ve seen in my life, you have done something I didn’t think was possible. Also isn’t it funny how the after credit scene was Oliver again, I see what you did there. I don’t think I’ll be able to put into words how good this is for a few years because I’m still very young and there’s a lot I know I’m going to understand better when I’m older. I think the best I can say for now is congratulations, YOU DID IT. YOU SHOULD BE SO PROUD OF YOURSELF SO PROUD. You have made something that will leave your mark on this world forever, even when we are gone this is going to be something that’s leaves an everlasting impression on this world. Take a good long rest you more than deserve it. good night, it’s 3AM good morning more like
That was an amazing film!!!!! So intense, frightening and terrifying, I was on the edge of my seat knowing what was happening. The cliffhanger at the end of the film was just crazy knowing that we won’t know what will happen next. Hats off to you and all the cast for making this film happen.
This right here is one hell of a perfect sequel. Thomas's part in all of this left me completely stunned, and I'll keep my mouth shut so you all can see for yourselves. I'm hyped for a conclusion to this. Fantastic work Adam. Looking forward to the next one.
This has to be the best thing I have ever seen. The visuals, filming, everything amazed me. I was able to watch half pariah yesterday before watching this and this blew me away. Well done Tines! Thanks for this amazing film!
I’m in an odd situation when watching this, I saw the first movie about a week ago, and don’t have the nostalgia the other people have since it came out ten years ago!!! Either way I loved it!!!!!!!
This has been so long in the making. I am so proud to have been asked to play Henrietta in what has become the biggest role of my career. Thank you Tines and congratulations to all the cast and crew. Rest now, you all deserve it.
I loved your acting on Henrietta. Marvelous ❤
Butterfly coffee!? :0
I love your content!! :D
Dear God you did a marvelous job on Henrietta! I wish you and the rest the best moving forward!
Amazing job with Henrietta's voice! Chef's kiss.
You were phenomenal as Henrietta!
My god. The way that the truth behind Toby's existience is gradually revealed as all the pieces of the mystery are put together is just perfect as it easily keeps someone engaged in solving it while being entertained. The way that Thomas dying was handled was flawless as it is actually impactful due to what he means to Toby & everyone else.
The ways that the other engines handle Toby's rising instability, Oliver's arrival, motives & overall suspiciousness, & adjusting to living alongside the diesels are exactly how you would expect them to act if you knew them for long enough.
The cinematography of this film is of such quality it made me feel like I was experiencing the story first-hand. The music score certainly helps in setting the tone.
Overall, this movie was incredible experience & worth the decade-long wait. :)
Massive props to the voice actors they all did phenomenal jobs
Holy. Hell. This is easily the highest quality and most well written fan-made Thomas production I’ve ever seen. I’m not even sure how to express how top notch this is. Tines, 100/10 my guy, you excelled yourself and blew every single expectation out of the water. The 10 years were beyond worth while.
I have so much to say, but I love how differently I processed what Oliver and Atherton were going through in this installment.
Oliver doesn’t feel complete, and feels like he needs someone (and something) to get there. The frightening thing is you can get the thing you think you need and find out you still feel the exact same way as before. So much of your self-worth comes from within. What happens if your hybrid engine is taken away? If that was all you are, you are indeed no longer whole.
What compliments this so well is Atherton’s depiction here. Subtle; but I felt like i locked onto it more than I ever have before. The respect and loyalty Atherton has for an engine as cunning as Oliver was very palpable. Atherton sees him as complete and wants Oliver to see it, but Oliver can’t accept it.
I love the way you depicted two sides to not feeling whole. The grief within one’s self, and the disappointment and confusion others feel when they can’t help you see what they see.

Can you go back and voice the blue snow plow videos
Real
Well… Thomas’ death scene actually disturbed me. The pieces scattering everywhere, Tobais’ evil face, the reaction of the other engines and especially Toby’s reaction, seeing it happen through his own eyes, and having no control over his body. It was so sad especially since Toby couldn’t anything about it whilst another person controlling his body is brutally murdering one of his closest friend in front of him.
To clear things up for some of you:
Montague = put into a GWR Pannier body
Toby = copy of Montague’s mind (with his engine) in Tobias’ body
Tobias = consciousness still lurking in Toby’s mind
It's kind of like Spiderverse, when 'Our Miles' was bitten by another spider from a different earth dimension!
Thomas’s death actually had me shaking. By a lot. The way it was handled: His facial expressions, the parts flying into the sheds, the way we never fully see his body until the end of the scene, Toby’s screams and Tobias’s sinister smirk, all of it… it hit hard.
I feel bad for Toby so much. All he could do was watch in horror as one of his best friends was brutally killed.
That scene literally traumatized me, especially at work, I had to turn it off for a few to get a break of what I just saw.
@@jordenfilmz That stuff was straight of out shed 17 lol. I’m glad fans aren’t afraid to push the boundaries of storytelling
Same…
RIP Thomas the number 1
“This…is MY life!” “YOUR LIFE IS OVER!” God that line was so satisfying to hear. Oliver breaking away from Tobias’ influence was such a pleasure to watch.
@@Collie-King Yeah, especially since Tobias was an abusive brother.

But hey … Thomas and Gordon can be together again ! .
Big blue and cheeky little .
Montague was right in the end. He knew Toby would be destroyed and turned into something worse. A monster who would destroy everyone. And everyone would turn on him. He saw it when Toby showed his strength.
The scene of Thomas' death had me genuinely disturbed and that's an incredible feat for a Thomas the Tank Engine fan film.
Same, I was genuinely scared
@@jordenfilmz Same here
Same bro
I was literally crying through the whole thing😢
I was litterly crying my eyes out
This is magnificent. I feel so sorry for Oliver to be honest. He had such a toxic relationship with his brother, constantly made to feel small and useless, blamed for things that weren’t his fault. Doesn’t justify his actions though.
The voice acting was unbelievable. The screams of agony. The meekness. The anger. All of it.
I can’t help but think that the song, “The Mind Electric,” would fit perfectly with this film.
What a way to traumatize us all in Christmas Eve
Eh, I'm not that traumatized.
ur not?😭
thomas was bashed to death😭
@@georgiamapping7803 I know it was very brutal, yes, but we have to keep in mind that it wasn't Toby that was in control.
But in regards to your question, let's just say my mindset has to keep focused on stuff and not overthink it so much.
Yeah why do we have to watch Thomas die around Christmas all the sudden?
I’m shaking because of Gordon and Thomas
F in the chat for Thomas and the guard who saw nothing.
Rest In Peace 🙏
We just gunna ignore thomas ?
Dawg was smashed in between tidmouth shed wall and Tobias’ cowcatcher front …
Practically crushing his pipes inside his boiler what for a human is like being strangled round the neck with a rope . A slow and painful death .
So I think thomas had it way worse … just my opinion tho !

The credits are playing as I'm writing this comment so I'm still experiencing the freshness of the whole movie. A decade in the making and a complete pay off without a doubt. Absolutely loved every second of this piece. The writing, the cinematography, the editing, the scoring is just marvelous, this is the definition of cinema. Comparing this to the first movie just shows how much has been improved in betweens these 10 years, no doubt this movie will inspire a great many just as the previous one did. A fantastic job Adam and an incredible work to everyone involved!
And here was me thinking it would be a nice jolly Christmas film not some shed 17 x a certain Japanese franchise
So uh, Thomas died
We waiting another 10 yrs for this one😼😼😼💯💯🔥🔥🔥
Now it’s your turn Jonas !!!
Trains days when’s the next episode of sodor dark times
If anyone was playing the most important part of this movie, besides Toby, Henrietta, James and Oliver, that would be none other than
Thomas the Tank Engine himself. His death won't be forgotten, because he passed as a brave, reasonable and responsible friend and hero.
I LOVE how Thomas' death was handled. It's the only death in the movie, which contrasts the 3 in Half-Pariah, but it's long, brutal, and REALLY shows how devastating the Tobias situation is. That is a quality over quantity situation I don't think I've EVER seen. Stellar show on your part! Can't wait to see what Tobias 3 is all about!
what about that poor guard
*only major death
@@pepsijuan666Man his death was like that of a horror movie victim. Poor guy. At least his was quick. Thomas had to suffer for a bit before his face popped off like a bottle cap.
there were four in half pariah, Mavis, Ludwig, Gordon, and Montague.
I was traumatized and was about to cry
This is one of my favorite movies of all time! Tobias being evil, Toby being a good Montague, Oliver being Toby’s brother and him being the Arcane Merchant, THIS WHOLE MOVIE PERFECTION!
I cannot wait for Part 3 of this series and thank you so much for creating this story!

Can't say I didn't expect this to happened, was almost very hard to watch.
Watched Half-Pariah back when it first came out in 2024 and man I'm glad it got the sequel it deserved.
Keep it up Tines. Here's to another 10 years of Tobias!
I was horrified..
He killed Thomas death.
Where the hell are the employees and who is allowing this to happen? Did fathat disappear or something and who is turning the turntable along with setting the points allowing toby to go where he needs to
Imagine how percy must have felt seeing his best friend being bashed to death
@@JoeTheTaxEvaderin this it was more Toby and Thomas were the best friends in this …
But I get what you mean … I personally feel bad for Thomas … he got killed mercifully by his feet frirnd it seemed …
I mean GOD DAUMMMN TOBIAS IS RUTHLESS
oh dear … he broke …
That sent CHILLS down my spine .
I've finally managed to assemble my thoughts together. Masterpiece, magnum opus, the GOAT of Thomas fan projects, it's not enough to describe this film.
I've been an admirer of yours for years, and any of my friends in the fandom will tell you how much I've looked forward to this project for the last few months. I've listened to all the soundtrack previews (both here and on Spotify), watched the clips, the trailers, everything. What a thought was gonna be a fun but haunting story took my expectations and cranked them up to 11. I have so much to say about this movie, but I'll try and keep this as brief as possible.
The visuals and the score absolutely took my breath away. Just the soundtrack alone, reading the description and seeing the various programs and add-ons used is stunning. You wanted nothing less than perfection, and perfection is what you got. And visually too, my god this movie was GORGEOUS. I can't count the number of times the sky backdrop alone distracted me from what was going on. The camera work was insane too. You took TRAINZ to its full potential with this, capitalizing on what so many model users and merchandise users dream of doing. Full 360 shots, huge wideouts, going underneath the engines' chassis, massive sets, the list goes on.
The characters were incredible in this too. Atherton's little redemption was well done, Thomas was so lovable, Henrietta and Daisy were amazing, and Toby was his usual MVP-self. I liked James and Henry in this, but they definitely became less likable towards the end. I actually started to garner a lot of sympathy towards Montague in this as well, he's a lot more likable here. Tobias was an incredible villain. He's just such an ass to everyone around him, especially Oliver. Speaking of him, Oliver is the best character of the film in my opinion. His backstory is so well done. He appears threatening and scary at first. Then we see him as weak and cowardly, and I was very curious to see where we'd go with him. And at the end, he gets this incredible full circle monologue that brings Tobias to his knees. It's incredible. He's so well written, he has incredible dialogue, and John Robledo did a fantastic job voicing him.
Kudos to the voice cast as well. I've already touched on Robledo, but good lord Caitlin and Mr. Berkshire deserve some praise as well. Mr. Berkshire pulled off Tobias so well, it actually took me a good 20 minutes to realize it was a different actor entirely, and I think that's worthy of praise. Adam, you of course did a fantastic job as Toby as well. But good lord, man, please tell me you drank plenty of water when you recorded your lines! Your poor lungs!
Overall though, good god was the project a beast. After I finished, I genuinely had to sit in my bedroom for a good hour just to soak it all in. I remember watching Half Pariah as a younger kid, and I remember eagerly waiting for the sequel. But I never thought it'd surpass Half Pariah the way it did. Arcane Merchant didn't just soar past Half Pariah, it brought its ranking up with it. Half Pariah walked so Arcane Merchant could jog, but Half Pariah starting jogging too! Knowing you, the last movie will make the entire trilogy sprint!
What a kickass movie, dude. Standing ovations, oscars, countless comments of praise, it's not enough. You've earned every ounce of support you've earned and will earn. Well done, Adam.
imma be honest I can't even read all of that.
I've seen so much in this fandom as a kid that made me scared, but the scene of Thomas being brutally killed is perhaps one of most bone chilling things i have ever saw, and almost made me shaking in horror by that... The screams of Toby and Tobias as the parts flies all over the sheds... I-I've never felt that for a freaking Thomas' Fan Film... Just Bravo Tines!
Keep up with whatever you wanna go fowards with your new job and your career!
Good lord…
Ten years… Ten years in the making.
It might take more ten years for the final part in this trilogy to release the final chapter in this series. Heck, for all we know, you were working on the third movie while making this one… But, it’ll be worth it. Because this was worth the wait! This is true cinema! This is what Hollywood wishes it could be: engaging from beginning to end, yet it still tells a story!
Oliver is one of my favorite characters. And my word, you’ve built up upon him in ways I can’t even begin to describe! It makes sense now that Oliver gravitated to Montague when he converted, because he was also a different engine in another life. He also wanted to be something bigger than a simple tram… But he was clouded by delusions of bulit up hatred and promise… And now, he’s going to be a bigger threat then Montague could think of being.
And Toby… Poor Toby. It’s strange thinking that Toby was a shorten name of Tobias, because Tobias is a horrid engine. It makes now why he pulled out that train too heavy for him. He was a cocky, stubborn, and hatful engine. We saw that with what he did with Thomas… Poor Thomas…
And now, we shall wait… Wait for what James and Henry will do. Wait for the nobody to become a somebody. And wait for the half-pariah to truly split, once and for all…
I wonder what the red eyes mean for oliver. We know what blues eyes meant.
@@supergenesisstation1991nothing good, that’s for sure…
Hi Tines Sensahthe, I only watched your first movie ‘Tobias and The Half Pariah’ about a week ago, never watching it before and it was such a thrill to watch. This movie however was a whole different level. The writing first of all was outstanding. It was a genius move to create Oliver as an engine that just wants his brother back but never gets what he wanted. Daisy was a comic relief with all the action as well. You guys write everyone well. The visual effects are not able to be described as words, with you guys having assiduity with the lighting. You really surprised everyone and brought 1.6K people. Poor Thomas as well. Can’t wait to see the next film! Great job again and fantastic work to everyone apart of this.
No, his first movie was half pariah 😊
Hi dol
The movie was a banger. Wasn’t expecting Thomas to die. And watching Toby just get so traumatized seeing his first friend who accepted him on his first day on Sodor die by his buffers was so emotional. But R.I.P the little blue engine we’ll all miss you.
Unless, the possible sequel plans on bringing him back to life, along with Gordon.
@@tonybusch8771no they’re both long gone 😭🙏
Both engines from the Pilot Gone.
@@tonybusch8771 I hope that was the case. But I don’t think that will happen. Maybe we will see an alternate universe version of both. Maybe this could be just one universe where Toby is the hybrid engine, and in other universes Thomas, Gordon or many others could be hybrid engines, and have been through what this Toby has. Heck, the magic railroad could be seen as the bridge between these universes. And the other hybrids could come help Toby save sodor and stop James, once and for all.
All Engines Go will still continue
I can’t even begin to fathom how good this is. I mean, the cliff hangers with Oliver and Toby. I cant wait for the third movie! I have been following this series for a long time! I was in all the way across the country when I heard the announcement for this and I could hardly wait for what this was gonna have in store!!! Great job, and keep up the good work!!!!!
Tobias was the real villain the entire time, the Toby we know is just part of Montague’s soul.
Ngl my favorite part of this was when James became a dictator, which is what he believed Toby was doing, James became the very thing he was fighting against. The next one boutta be insane lmao.
To be fair he had reason to be skeptical of the very diesels that originally came to island to bring terror under Montague. Plus I think he is doing it out of retaliation for Thomas' death.
Literally what you see with Megatron and Optimus Prime (specially in the new movie) D-16 became the very thing he hated as well.
@@kazanu23 The best part is that there is no Optimus in this story, theres only a Megatron, and a Sentinel, and James and Toby both think their the Optimus, when their really just the Megatron and the Sentinel.
@Cashtron-d8b My only question is where is fathat he was in tathp did he just get erased from existence or something
@Cashtron-d8b oh my gosh, exactly!!!!!
Before this releases, I think we should all congratulate you Tines for all your hard work on making this the best possible movie and sequel
10 years of waiting, and boy, it was worth it! I was completely at the edge of my seat! I highly recommend this to anyone!
Ten years. Ten. Whole. Years. And now, the wait is over...and it was worth it. For all your hard work, I congratulate you and your team for it. Rest now, Adam. You deserve it.
Saying this is a masterpiece is an understatement.
There is so much to take away. The themes about identity, finding your purpose, continual growth of evil, feminism, etc. are all on display with genuine cinematic prowess. The first movie really built up Toby's journey to becoming a hero, and in this one he has all that completely ripped away piece by piece.
You forget the 3 hour run time because you know to create continual unease and build tension with unrelenting drama. And when things get serious, they get really scary. This movie really digs into the psychological horror aspect of the hybrid concept, and it's genuinely terrifying seeing the journey the characters go through as chaos slowly but surely overwhelms everyone. From the horrific mind games to the eerie face work to the brutal death scenes, on top of an all-around stellar voice cast, a pulse-pounding score, and pitch-perfect sound editing, this knows when to come out swinging with everything it has got.
Henrietta and Daisy absolutely steal the movie for me, which speaks so much on how much you made the lead female characters so strong, layered, and sympathetic. A lot of that is thanks to their incredible vocal performances, especially Cait as Henrietta. They absolutely deserve the best performance award in a Thomas production of the year. Of course, you bring everything you got for the scenes where Toby is pushed to his limit. Berkshire really sells how much of a threat Tobias is, and John makes for an incredibly tragic and sympathetic antagonist in Oliver.
All in all, this is an incredibly emotionally eviscerating follow up to a fantastic first installment that more than lives up to the predecessor's impact, and I eagerly await to see how all of this wraps up in the final part of this trilogy, and I am so grateful to have played a small part in its creation. Even after all these years, this still feels 100% you and your feelings at work, and it shouldn't be any other way.
10 years ago, I was a young lad amazed by Half-Pariah. Ten years later, the long-awaited sequel to that EXCELLENT fanfilm can finally be released! I may be 17 minutes into the film atm, but I've enjoyed every second of it! Stellar work, Tines!
Nah bro there’s so much lore waiting for u
@@PefliePlays I believe I can tell.
This feels like that one Ratatouille moment where the critic got flashbacks of his childhood when he toke a bite of the food
I don’t know if I can wait a o 10 years for part 3😢
Has part three even started production yet
Looks like I won't be sleeping well tonight, thanks Tines!
LMAO i wont either
Me too also I probably need to go to therapy for the second time now thanks alot
After watching the premiere of TATAM, my mind is just blown away from the film alone and I wanna give out my honest opinions. The VFX, Voice Acting, Sound Design, hell even Cinematography was spectacular!
Kudos to you and everyone else involved in this film!
I already talked about this on Twitter, but this was a "holy shit experience" after it was over. Definitly an intense story, but you ability to take your ideas and go all the way is remarkable.
Everything has probably been said already, but as a musician, I want to give extra praise to the voice acting and the music:
Your music is so filled with drama and intensity, and you have an excellent ear for placing emotions in the music to what's going on in the picture. From someone who loves music to film - this is admirable. Your score does more than what I thought was possible with DAW - it's so expressive and fluid! I can tell there is a lot of effort and thought behind it.
I don't know how much you "direct" your VA's, but everybody has understood the assignment. Nothing feels phoney, nobody feels like they are just reading the script - everybody has a convincing performance. Everyone sells it.
This is a feat for both you and fan production in general. You should be proud of what you've created - it's something to behold.
This movie is peak cinema. From the opning scene with Montague to the ending this movie never fails to disappoint. The darker tone is a welcome change, The visuals and VFX are out of this world, the reprising of character themes are amazing and don’t even get me started on the voice acting! Tobias is nothing short of an amazing villain. He is such an awful and nasty engine that you just love to hate. You don’t like him when he abuses Oliver. You HATE him when he kills the guard and when he murders Thomas oh man YOU JUST WANT THIS STUPID TRAM DEAD. He is an amazing villain who to be fair kinda got better than he deserved in the end. Oliver is probably the stand out character for me. He starts out with one goal only and by the end the achieves it. You absolutely smashed it Tines!!! I am beyond excited for the sequel!! The fact that by the time i am writing this comment it has been 4 days since the movie came out because i was just processing what happened. That really goes to show how good the movie is.
I was 7 when Tobias and the Half Pariah came out, now I’m 17 and this film blew my expectations out of the water! This truly was an experience and was enjoyable for every second.
Amazing work Tines.
Same! We're the same age too!
I never thought that I would cry. 3 Times from a fan-made thomas film. Cinematics, VFX, music / score was impecible, voice acting - top notch.
Rhys Griffin. You did Thomas justice. Like holy crap.
Amazing work from everyone.
Thank you very much!
In all my long years in the Thomas fandom, never have I been more amazed and absolutely astounded by one of the absolute BEST fan films in YEARS. This was worth the 10 year wait! I absolutely loved everything about this film! The story and the VFX were absolutely jaw dropping for something to be filmed in Trainz Simulator! This was a magnificent sequel and a brilliant MASTERPIECE! Loved this film a lot, Adam! So glad to see it on the premiere man! 🎉
This is the Dark Knight of the the Thomas the Tank Engine Universe.
I love how you handle Oliver's Arc in this movie. I remember I was little when Half Pariah came out and watch it with my family. This had me in tears. I hope for a continuation eventually
You are truly amazing
Adam, this was PHENOMENAL. Exceeded my wildest dreams. Seems like a lifetime ago I was peeking at early drafts and even longer since I was blown away by the original. You didn’t just translate that story from page to screen, you magnified it in the full glory it deserves. I’m so proud and thrilled to see all your hard work pay off in a brilliant tapestry of time, love, and mastery. Merry Christmas, and bravo, my friend!
Thank you so, so much Milky! It meant the world that you helped me out with those early drafts, really helped me hone in on the plot and character points that really mattered, and helped me shape the movie into what it is today. I literally could not have done this without your help. Thank you so much for your support the past 10 years. A Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you, as well, my friend!
MTM! You're alive!
As I sit in my grandmas house during this Christmas season, I realize that it was exactly 10 years ago when I found this video. And as I sit here watching it just turned 20, I’m glad to say the Thomas magic is still here and strong. This is just such an amazing Thomas fan production, props to all involved!
Just. Oh my god. Holy shit. Dude. dUUUUUDEEE.
I don't know what else to say that I haven't already said and resaid a thousand times by now - this movie is just incredible. It oozes passion from every sewn piece. The music, the acting, the writing, the editng. eVERYTHINGGGGGG. its so so good.
again i cant get over the music - the use of motifs throughout the film from the bombastic Daisy to the longing Henrietta to Oliver's grand crescendo at the very end. I wish I had more new words to say for how much I adore this film and how proud I am of ye for it. Its simply incredible.
“You all are in MY life now.” Genuinely gave me goosebumps
This is my favourite movie of all time. I watched it with a friend who isn't a Thomas fan and he loved it just as much as me. You haven't just made an outstanding Thomas movie, you've created a cinematic masterpiece that anyone can enjoy. The entire cast is outstanding, the storytelling is above and beyond and that soundtrack is unbelievable. Adam, I truly hope you're proud. I hope you know just how good this movie is and I hope you know just how much the Tobias -franchise means to me and many others. Thank you. You are one of the good things.
It seems everyone is going on about the Thomas death sene … don’t blame them
It’s hard to see your childhood character get killed by another on screen …

10 years later, 17-year-old me just watched a fan film that was beyond what anyone could imagine. A decade in the making.
I had high, high hopes for this movie. Now, I am left speechless, in awe in what I've just witnessed. This has transcended every dingle expectation I had for this movie, the cinematography, framing, editing, characters, sets, colours... it's all so much more than what I ever thought would come from this film - a fan film I might add. Tines, you've created something incredible. It'll surely be polarising, but I love that it is. It's something new and beautiful for this fandom. You've really impressed me and so many other people. This stands as a testament for what's possible and what's to come.
10/10.
This is one HELLUVA SEQUEL.
Apart from building upon the story and raising the stakes even higher, I LOVE how Daisy was characterized in this. She went from uptight, highly sprung diesel to MVP in the story and I live for that.
When I first saw the teaser for Daisy, I thought she was going to be one hell of a diesel enemy for Henrietta, but thank god I was wrong. I'm absolutely amazed by their dynamic and I know Henrietta would go bananas should Daisy perish in the third movie.
Speaking of the third movie, I am willing to wait TEN MORE YEARS for that!
Tines, you are one of the greats in the Thomas fandom, taking the franchise and reinventing the wheel when it comes to incorporating fantasy and sci fi aspects to the series.
Basically the movie : Toby goes super saiyan blue and has an alter ego
Nah, bro was Super Saiyan Rose, just dyed himself blue
I think it’s basic super saiyan or ikari when you think about it and its the case of two conscious beings in one form or in other words a fail fusion of sorts 🤔

Thank you, Tines. For bringing us a sequel that will surely live up to the original.
Tines, holy crap. You did it. This sequel trounces on the original. I already know I’ll be watching it again and again. You’ve destroyed any expectations I had and brought forth something truly special. Bravo.
Holy. . .F**KING. . .CRAP!!
This was. . .PEAK!!
If I had any indication of being on the edge of my seat this Christmas, you’ve definitely earned that award, Adam! From your story alone; not to mention the visuals and the score itself, you slayed it out of the park in terms of film and quality!! This whole anticipation was 10 Years worth. . .every. . .waiting moment! You, the cast and everyone else’s involvement in this twisted yet beautiful piece of cinema blew my expectations away!
All I pray for is that Part 3 can live up to its predecessor. Because let me tell you, if the third act was able to make me shed a tear, I don’t even want to begin knowing how you’ll be able to conclude this ‘soon-to-be’ trilogy! The sky has and is bound to be limitless in your favor, mate, so don’t waste it; and keep our hopes high until the end!
Cheers to you, Adam!
And, once again. . .Thank You!
I see a lot of people talking about how brutal the death of Thomas was, and yeah I agree when I watched that scene I think I burned about 300 calories, but the scene made me think about how great of a character Thomas was. He was the most loyal character in this saga, he stood by Toby when he first met him at the quarry, he stood by Toby when Gordon kidnapped him, he stood by Toby & had his back when the diesels invaded the island & got into a physical fight to protect him. Thomas was the most loyal son of a bitch anyone could ask for. He was always loyal, he was Toby’s right hand man & always looked out for him. What I also love is that his loyalty & faith in Toby is what got him killed. He had so much faith that he could get the old Toby back that he fearlessly scolded an insane, narcissistic & violent creep. His loyalty to Toby is what led him to his death. Simply incredible character, Tines. Other than Gordon, by far my favourite character in the saga. Excellent work on this movie, 9/10.
Indeed, Tines' characterization of Thomas was so well done it almost made me cry! One of the best friends Toby could've asked for a long with Percy and Edward. 😭😭
@@littlewestern0969 It makes it even sadder
@littlewestern0969 Thomas in these movies was like a dog He had faith in toby but Poor Thomas did not know it was not toby and like you said he stood with toby and his faith and loyalty got him killed sadly but imagine all the possibilities for the next movie
I've just came across this masterpiece this morning and my god THIS WAS AMAZING!! This is hands down one of the most amazing fan projects I've ever seen! congratulations cause I can say 100% the 10 years needed to create this was all worth it. I cannot wait to see what future projects you create! And to all the cast and crew that was apart of this you've all deserve praise for your roles, well done to you all!
Merry Christmas Tines! Well done on this film! It was an honor to voice Thomas and Atherton in your films and I can't wait to see what part 3 will bring. But definitely take time to relax first. You deserve it after 10 years of commitment to this project!
The first film was really good, and this one is great! I'm sure part 3 will be fantastic! I'm going to miss voicing Thomas, he was determined to the end!
You, my friend, deserve an Oscar. Your portrayal of Thomas is probably the best I've heard.
@@RhysGriffinProductions Welp … good job voicing both … before the blue tank engines death corse … but good performance ither way

YOU DID FANTASTIC.
This is one of the most demented, disturbing, and distressing. Thomas and friends fan made movies every made. And it's a masterpiece astounding work Tine.
Wow, just wow I I’m blown away by how good this movie was. Thomas,s death really had me on the edge of my seat and the fire rescue part was also my favorite. R.I. P Thomas , Gordon
You didn't see the post-credits clearly
I put this before I saw the credits my bad
It's as if not a day has passed.
If there was one, singular project I could point out to introduce someone to the potential of storytelling through non-human characters, this would be it.
The face Toby makes when he’s angry is petrifieing
This was definitely worth the 10 year wait for how much improvement and powerful cinematography went into this.
I may be a minor in the film, but I'm in eternally grateful to be apart in something so big that I never would have thought I be accepted in! This is better than how I imagined it to be when I first read the two different scripts! Thank you for letting me be part of this, Tines!
I also want to emphasis to everyone reading my comment without spoiling, I was fully aware as to what would happen to Thomas in this. While it was good to know what was going to happen ahead of time, I was not expecting how this film would go to the extreme lengths as opposed to that _other_ video from 2015 we shall never talk about, and how I originally pictured it in my head when I read the script(s). If this had been released early as far back as 2017, it would have immediately turned me off. Though I am older now, and seeing it for the first time how crazy it was put together, I'm not bothered by the dark sequence one bit. But _THIS IS_ Tines Sensahthe's movie, and it's _his_ own story. So it's obvious he can do whatever and make a full-on impression of himself for how much of a incredible content creator he is becoming. And it _is_ an alternate universe, friendly reminder. Far better than Sodor Fallout, I must say! That all I will say, but in short - don't let that one scene dismay you from everything else about this film. Nor let it stop you from enjoying this.
Subject aside - this movie is top peak for how out of this world it is. No other words and expressions can describe how the visual effects, animation, action, etc. is amazing. 10 years was worth the wait! I'm glad it's finally finished and now released. And, again, I'm more than glad to have taken part in something so big. Even if it's a small minor role, it's the littlest things that means a lot the most that can have a big impact, and go a long way. Even after watching the premiere's post credits, and I don't know if any of you agree or have stuck to the end, I can't help but feel there may be one more movie in the planning stages, that might be coming out in 2034 to complete this sage. Or maybe not, who knows? We don't know anything at this point! Better to just let the man of the hour himself finally rest, focus on his personal life, and he'll get back to us on what he says. No guarantees that a final film to make it a complete trilogy saga will ever happen! Don't take my word for it.
All in all - the movie was very intense and amazing. Tines had done another fantastic work! Thank you again for letting me be part of this, mate, it's such an honour! Rest easy now, and have a Merry Christmas, you deserve a long break now!
Good explanation bro and yes, another 5 to 10 years will let him rest ❤

If/when you make the next movie, take your time again, even if it'll be another decade.
Half Pariah was already good back then when I found it all those years ago. This tops it by a long shot.
Keep up the good work
Maturing and realizing, Oliver was a broken and pure evil of a villain. Amazing story!
In the end, his insecurities got the better of him!
@@neikowilburn4078 relying on his s***head brother who never cared about him was a big mistake.
While his backstory is very tragic, it doesn't justify he can bring the past 'Tobias' back! He made poor Toby suffer and pretty much ruined his reputation. He has some remorse for his actions, but all he wanted was for someone too appreciate his existence!
@@neikowilburn4078I don’t think he brought Tobias back to have a pleasant reunion. Oliver was fully aware of how cynical and diabolical his brother was. He did it to bring his own desire of being a hybrid engine to fruition. Yes he was remorseful, but it was all in the name of being something more.
It’s hard to describe him as a full villain. Oliver never intended for others to get hurt in this, but he cared about being something more. He was broken for sure. But his ambition and his actions put others at risk. His return caused a massive ripple effect that resulted in Toby’s reputation being tarnished beyond recognition. James becoming a dictator and banishing all diesels from Sodor, and the gruesome death of Thomas.
When the 3rd movie is released, I think it’ll be best to asses then if he can be classified as a villain. Yes he wants to be somebody(and become a hybrid engine) but for what purpose exactly? A hero to others? A villain of the railways? Yes he wants to be appreciated, but in what capacity? Yes he wanted to be strong, brave, confident, but there’s more to it. He’s clearly ambitious, and the true extent of his ambitions have yet to be seen. We will just have to wait and see
@kevinsanchez4808 It could be both in his mind, he may sacrifice himself for real in the 3rd film. That is if 'Our Toby' can get through to him in some retrospects.
God this deserves so much more attention istg, the amount of detail and effort was put in this, and it’s so visible that it radiates off of the screen, the voice acting, sound detailing just everything has the epitome of heart and soul put into it. 1000/10, you all deserve a round of applause!
DUDE THIS IS SO SO GOOOD!!! You ate so so hard and everyone involved should be so so proud of their work! Fab job man!!
I… I was screaming in real life while Tobias was killing Thomas, Jesus this was dark. RIP Thomas
It was horrifying
@ agreed…
@splendidredscrapiron 2:05:30 man vs train reference
Way dark than how thomas died in Victor Tanzig's video
@@BruhBlitz agreed
For the third one , I think Thomas and Gordon are ghosts who mentor Toby through his harships, and James will probably be the second antagonist, along with Oliver being the main threat to Toby. This movie was the most intense and well written Thomas fan movie I have ever seen with beautiful visuals and voice acting. This was like seeing a movie in cinemas.
That's exactly I was thinking too! Let's hope Henrietta, Daisy, Dana Laurence, and the rest of Toby's friends, help him through from the 'mental' experience.
When I saw Tobias attack Oliver I felt so bad for him when he whimpered in fear
You could say, Oliver is the brains and 'Tobias' is the brawls in these situations. I did find it a bit heartwarming with their heartfelt reunion and the sea shanty they learned from the dock workers. I felt bad for him too. Even if he was broken, it costed Toby's reputation.
40:12 idk if anybody’s noticed this but the way Oliver was looking at Toby in this moment… it was like a little brother looking at his bigger brother for protection. And in that moment, Toby ended up protecting Oliver as though he were his own, not like a Sudrian, but like his own kin. And now that we got the context that Toby is really Tobias on the outside while carrying a part of Montague’s conscious… his good side… it all adds up. It was this scene alone where Toby became Oliver’s real big brother! Not Tobias, TOBY!!
Let’s also give Montague some credit as he was the one to tell Oliver that his brother is a bad influence and that he can do better than him, a true friend, as though a sort of surrogate brother!
Sure, Tobias might have cared for his little brother, but it seemed to him like he was more of an accessory than an ally, especially noticing his faults. He only cared about power and dominance over others, and more importantly HIMSELF!
But the unfortunate thing about this is that Oliver had been broken mentally and physically for so long by someone who was supposed to be his older brother and made him feel like he was nothing. Furthermore, he was too blinded by his own insecurities and more importantly his delusions that he was destined for something greater than he was that he warped Montague’s and Atherton’s words into something more twisted and diabolical. Furthermore, he was too blind to see that it was in THIS moment that Toby/Montague was his true big brother.
Oliver truly is a broken character of pure evil and his downfall of indulging into his delusions are what make him worse than his own brother.
Spot-on character writing Tines! Definitely worth the wait!!
I’ve watched the film twice now and I can’t put how good this project is into words, everything about it is perfect, but Oliver, oh my goodness what a character, He might be the best villain i’ve ever seen in a thomas project, I almost found myself rooting for him at times due to his backstory and his relationship with Tobias
This is hands down one of the best fan made animated motion pictures to grace this website. You have cooked not just for the Thomas fandom, but for all of the aspiring filmmakers out there on the internet. The sheer, raw emotion that can be drawn from pngs on trains in this film is nothing short of a cinematic genius and I literally felt like I was freaking out at every point past the 5 minute mark.
Bravo to you and your team Adam, bravo to all of your team! And Merry Christmas, thank you for blessing us with this gift.
as a former thomas fan i got a chill down my muthafreakin spine so heartbreaking that our number 1 hero had to die under the hands or buffers in this case of tobias but congrats on the film reagardless
Happy to be a part of history!
Edit: Finally watched the movie and whilst it does take a while to get going, BOY does it get going! The psychological horror here was a particular standout and gave an added layer of gravitas to an already impactful and imaginative cinematic canon. Whilst the first film may have alienated some audiences with its absurdity, it feels Tines has a much clearer idea of what this film is as a piece of art and rolls with the bonkers sometimes confusing nature of it all. I’m just gonna say this now, but this was the project the fandom needed as a spark of creativity, opening up the imagination of what we can achieve not just on a technical level but what kind of stories we can tell. Don’t be afraid to make something unrealistic and absurd! There’s more to these characters than just the realism!
I am genuinely so amazed. this is one of the most impressive and passion filled projects I have ever seen. Your direction and composition is so dynamic; every sequence had me hooked by the actors with the sound mixing complimented so wonderfully done by the score. the ups and downs were driving me crazy, it is just so so good. be very proud of yourself for your hard work, you have such an amazing gift and it shows. as a huge fan of your work, thank you for being such an inspiration and a creator
The casting was well spot on. So much years we’ve been waiting. Seeing what happened to Oliver, if he gets a new shape, I wonder how monstrous he would turn out to be. The layout for the abandoned factory was brilliant. If Victor Tanzig had that set, boy what ideas he could’ve used with it.
I remember when Tobias and the Half Pariah was new. All the way back in 2014. Take of the Brave was new then too but half pariah grabbed my attention in a way few Thomas fan projects have. It’s been a wild 10 years since the first movie and I’m no longer a boy but our collective love for Thomas has not changed one bit no matter the state of the franchise. Projects like half pariah and now arcane merchant are proof that we as a fandom can evolve and improve when we love something as much as Thomas.
I can’t wait to see this movie in three days time and I have no doubt the 10 year wait will be worth it.
Edit: IT WAS WORTH IT
I have waited ten years for this sequel. And after what I just saw, I'm going to wait ten more years for the next. That was easily one of the best fan projects I have seen in the Thomas community. Everything from the VFX to the voice acting was incredible.Everyone who worked on this project was giving their 110%. Amazing job to everyone!
Tines, this is nothing short of amazing, this releases nearly 4 years since the first trailer was seen. The attention and effort towards this has been nothing short of incredible and I think I speak for everyone when I say thank you so much for bringing us this absolutely fantastic movie! Also that thumbnail is absolutely the definition of cinematic.
I can’t believe it. 10 years later. I watched the first movie when it first came out, now i’m an adult and woah. I can’t gather my thoughts yet, but this was HUGE. HUGEEEEEE. What a story, completely changes everything we thought we knew. I know its SOOOOOOO EARLY but damn, I smell a trilogy?
well done brother, this was just out of this world
Times… are you okay? That was brutal, holy fu-.
I’ve only been speechless after watching a movie before one other time and that was when I saw Oppenheimer for the first time.
That was bloody incredible!
So let me get this straight :
Montague was a weak diesel that was taken to the junk yard. Then Oliver appears, who was entrusted by the workers to find a weak locomotive so that they can turn it into a super locomotive.
This happens and Montegue becomes a strong diesel who is respected by all the other diesels, meanwhile Oliver (who is constantly sick and thus feels smaller than his brother Tobias)
The workers promise to turn Oliver into a powerful locomotive, but then the British government comes and bans the whole project.
Meanwhile, the "accident" occurs (here comes the part I don't understand)
so, Tobias gets the "power" and the copy of Montague's personality (which pushes the real Tobias' consciousness into darkness for 18 years)
meanwhile, Montague is put into a weak locomotive and loses his "power"
Oliver will also be transferred, but before they can give him "strength" the workers must hide so that the British government does not imprison them
We now have to see a part 3, like damn this was fire. Also never thought Oliver was Tobias’ brother. If there is a third movie I hope it’s just as good as before!
Man, Thomas' death made me more horrified than I had seen the whole shed 17 story.
I really am speechless for this highly VERY creative work of art, you are the best!
Prediction for the sequel: They meet the designers and they begin trying to fix Toby and separate Tobias from him. They also learned one of the designers has a device that could bring back the dead, but it can only be used once. Oliver attempts to find it so he could bring back his only friend Montague. But Toby and Henrietta think they could use it to bring back Thomas. However the Flying Scotsman catches wind of this and tries to use it to bring back his brother Gordon. He blames both Monty and Toby for his demise.
Go help Tines make the next one that’s a fire idea

It’s officially 3AM, I am honestly so glad this took so long to come out because it gave me time to really understand and go through Tobias and the Half Pariah aswell as gave us the blessing to have THIS. I really wanna go to sleep and not that I have much to say in this state regardless but it was SO MUCH MORE THAN I COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED. I thought the story was going to conclude but it feels as if it’s only just begun and I remember feeling the exact same way 10 years ago. I really appreciate how despite being a decade later we are able to have so many parts stay the same, it really helps this feel like a sequel but my GOD THE VISUALS ARE SOMETHING ELSE.
Are you okay, do I need to get a box of emotional support cookies for myself or for you? I also don’t know why I thought this was the end of Tobias’ story it feels like the BEGINNING. This has to be the most innovative project I’ve seen in my life, you have done something I didn’t think was possible.
Also isn’t it funny how the after credit scene was Oliver again, I see what you did there. I don’t think I’ll be able to put into words how good this is for a few years because I’m still very young and there’s a lot I know I’m going to understand better when I’m older.
I think the best I can say for now is congratulations, YOU DID IT. YOU SHOULD BE SO PROUD OF YOURSELF SO PROUD. You have made something that will leave your mark on this world forever, even when we are gone this is going to be something that’s leaves an everlasting impression on this world. Take a good long rest you more than deserve it.
good night, it’s 3AM good morning more like
That was an amazing film!!!!!
So intense, frightening and terrifying, I was on the edge of my seat knowing what was happening.
The cliffhanger at the end of the film was just crazy knowing that we won’t know what will happen next.
Hats off to you and all the cast for making this film happen.
This right here is one hell of a perfect sequel. Thomas's part in all of this left me completely stunned, and I'll keep my mouth shut so you all can see for yourselves. I'm hyped for a conclusion to this. Fantastic work Adam. Looking forward to the next one.
NOW WE GOTTA WAIT ANOTHER 10 YEARS!!! BRING BACK THOMAS!!!!
... do you see the currant state of thomas?
We had to wait 10 years because it kept got getting delayed. But it doesn’t mean that we have to wait 10 years for a third film.
This has to be the best thing I have ever seen. The visuals, filming, everything amazed me. I was able to watch half pariah yesterday before watching this and this blew me away. Well done Tines! Thanks for this amazing film!
I’m in an odd situation when watching this, I saw the first movie about a week ago, and don’t have the nostalgia the other people have since it came out ten years ago!!! Either way I loved it!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for the Super Thanks! So glad you enjoyed the film!
@@TinesSensahthe you are a master film maker if I ever seen one. This was glorious. 10/10
