The film was released in theaters on July 14th, 2000 in the United Kingdom and July 26th, 2000 in the United States, to much negative reception, with critics and fans slamming the film for its lack of faithfulness to the source material (most notably inserting Magic into a setting that was previously meant to be realistic) and its messy, confusing plot. The film was also a BoxOfficeBomb, only making 19.7 million worldwide against a 19 million budget. The film's critical and financial failure would cause Destination Pictures to shut down shortly afterwards and would later cause Britt Allcroft to distance herself from the franchise and sell her company, Gullane Entertainment (and along with it, the rights to ''Thomas & Friends''), to Creator/HitEntertainment just a couple of years after its release.

That said, the film has grown a bit of a small cult following in the years that followed and certain elements, most notably Diesel 10, would later make their way into the show (even if the show understandably [[CanonDiscontinuity ignores the film's events]]).
Perhaps the most infamous aspect of the film however isn't what made it in, but what ''[[WhatCouldHaveBeen didn't]]'' make it in, as the film has became notorious in the years following its release for its hugely TroubledProduction and the large wrath of content that was scrapped last minute, most notoriously an entire BigBad in the form of P.T. Boomer, who was cut so late that scenes featuring him were shot and glimpses of him are still present in the final film. This has led fans to demand for a directors cut for the film. While a directors cut was never released, Shout Entertainment would compile the deleted scenes and release them on a blu-ray release of the film in 2020, leading fans to finally get a glimpse of the magic railroad that never was.

** On top of this, in the theatrical cut of the film (the original seems to have her communicate telepathically with Burnett), Lady is shown to be in a state of hibernation or stasis while in the mountain, since she doesn't even have a ''face'' and looks like a regular train from off of Sodor rather than one ''from'' there. It's shown that, without Sodor coal, She would probably be stuck like that forever and the Magic Railroad would fade out of existence eventually if she didn't get brought out of it. Both are shown by the fact that the Railroad was nothing but a dark, cold cave of sorts until she revived it and her face didn't reappear until she'd been driving on it for a moment after being given Sodor coal.

** The descriptions of what Diesel 10 did to Lady ("he ''destroyed'' her", "he ''broke'' her", "he ''used her up''", etc.). They make it sound creepily like he had beaten and raped her. It's especially bad when Burnett says Diesel tried to make Lady crash, which is implied to be the same as ''killing'' her.

* WithinArmsReach: Diesel 10 catches Mr. Conductor in his claw and carries him to the viaduct, intending to drop him over the edge unless he tells him where the buffers that lead to the titular Magic Railroad are within ten seconds. Mr. Conductor then pulls out a pair of gardening shears that he intends to use to cut one of the wires on Diesel's claw, but accidentally drops them. Thankfully, the shears still land on the claw and are just barely within reach of Mr. Conuctor's arms. As Diesel counts down, Mr. Conductor reaches for the shears, grabbing them and cutting the wire just before Diesel can get to one, resulting in Diesel's claw launching him into the air, causing him to land on bags of flour near the windmill he was looking for to uncover the next clue to the source of the gold dust.
