Thomas & Friends: The Great Race

Thomas & Friends: The Great Race is a 2016 British animated musical comedy adventure film and the twelfth feature-length special based on the British television series Thomas & Friends. The film was produced and distributed by HIT Entertainment with animation production by Canadian-based Arc Productions. The movie centres on Thomas wanting to represent Sodor in the Great Railway Show on the mainland and proving that he doesn't need to be big, strong, or fast to go.

The film stars John Hasler (UK) and Joseph May (US) as the voice of Thomas, alongside special guest stars Tina Desai as Indian engine Ashima, Rufus Jones as a depiction of the iconic real-life locomotive Flying Scotsman and John Schwab as Vinnie, an American engine. These new additions were made by Mattel to add more international and female characters to the cast.

The movie was given a limited theatrical release on 21 May 2016 in the United Kingdom through National Amusements before being released on DVD. The movie was released theatrically or straight-to-video depending on the country.
