But Merlin, becoming uneasy of Thomas' whereabouts, begins to sneak inside himself, but a nervous Theo manages to give him away and a chase into the Steelworks ensues. The first time Hugh Bonneville, Colin McFarlane, Lucy Montgomery and Nicola Stapleton are part of the voice cast.

It is Easter morning and all of the engines are very excited; they have been promised an Easter party at Tidmouth.

The first appearance of the salt vans in full CGI and their first appearances since the twelfth series episode, Best Friends. Thomas is rather cheeky, but is good at heart and generally behaves well, except when he is getting into mishap. He loves teasing the others and, on occasion, brags about his superiority, but is always brought down to earth in due course. If Thomas has one major character flaw, it is that he is forgetful, and slightly impatient. However, he is also optimistic and idealistic. The first special in which vehicular characters are able to move their bodies, in that they perform when they speak or look in different directions, which while debuting in the preceding CGI series, was made more prominent as of this special, as well as the new comedic devices.

The only time the Mainland Diesels have spoken, as two of them speak in this special and this is the only time Ulli is referred to by name.

The only special to be seventy-three minutes long, over thirteen minutes longer than the usual length. During a few scenes after Thomas runs into Beresford and also during the "Who's Thomas" song, Thomas can be seen turning his face sideways to look up at him. This is the only time an engine is seen doing this. Ian McCue being a producer for Mattel Creations.
