US Bonus Features

Trivia

  • The DVD description mentions "Christmas puddings." This may mean that Not So Hasty Puddings was intended to be on the DVD, but was removed.
  • The UK title is used for Thomas and Percy's Mountain Adventure.
  • This is the only release to feature the restored version of Thomas and Percy's Mountain Adventure where the footage is cut to sync up with the narration.
  • Henry's Lucky Day uses the eighth to tenth series intro and end credits in the US DVD.
  • The music in the eighth to eleventh series ending credits are low pitched similar to Railway Friends, High Speed Adventures and Team Up With Thomas on the US DVD.
  • Oliver's face is edited in the US chapter selection menu.
  • The UK DVD was originally scheduled to be released on 29 November 2010, but the DVD's release date was brought forward to 8 November. However, Amazon currently states 29 November as the release date.
  • This is the last DVD of the 2000's in the US.
  • This is the only US DVD to feature Henry's Lucky Day.
  • The Portuguese cover has a CGI Thomas edited over the model Thomas, this is most likely because all the episodes featured on the DVD are from the fourteenth series.

Goofs

  • On the Malaysian VCD back cover, Thomas is duplicated, but the half of it.
