Side guide

In the first UK trailer, Thomas and Spencer have different UK voices than their current ones. This is because both characters were meant to be voiced by Kerry Shale during the original cut. Also, Toby has his US voice. A video game adaptation of the film was also released to the Nintendo Wii and the DS [6] in Europe on 29 June 2010. It was to be released in North America, but it has appeared to be cancelled indefinitely. [6] Thomas and Percy are missing their teeth while they were talking at the shunting yards. Also in the same scene, Thomas is missing his number and red lining. Spencer has his first two accidents (first getting covered in slate at the quarry, then landing cab first in a marsh).

Note: The first UK trailer uses different voices for Thomas and Spencer, as the footage used in the trailer was from the original version of the film, which would have featured Kerry Shale as the voice of Thomas and Spencer; his parts were recast for the released version. Toby's US voice is also heard in said trailer. Near the end of the special during Thomas and Spencer's final race, the points were not switched, but Spencer was still able to change lines.Gordon and Spencer race to the station. Spencer is exhausted, having been running around all day. Gordon wins the race and who should step out of the coaches is the Fat Controller and the Duke and Duchess. While they scold Spencer, Thomas arrives, saying he will help Spencer finish the summer house. The Duke and Duchess are pleased, but Spencer's pride is shattered.
