An Unlikely Fandom: The Impact of Thomas the Tank Engine

Overview

This feature length documentary takes an intimate look at the impact of the popular children's television series Thomas & Friends. Around the world and from different walks of life, generations of adult fans reflect on their love for the show, and how it has forever changed the course of their lives. They're not just fans either. Many are preserving props from the television series, and some have even managed to work on the series itself as both writers and consultants.
