Description

US/AUS/NL*

Join Thomas and Friends as a carnival comes to the Island of Sodor! Also, meet new friends, Rocky and Rosie, and follow them as they explore their new surroundings and learn to work as a team with the other engines.

(*The Dutch description mentions Toby and Skarloey instead of Rocky and Rosie)

UK

The fun fair is coming to Sodor and all of the engines have been asked to help, except for Percy! When Percy leaves his boring job of pulling the coal and goes to help at the fun fair, all of the other trains grind to a halt because they have no fuel. Percy is horrified and gets to work with the important job of delivering the coal. Will he be able to get all the trains working? Will the fun fair be set up on time? Join Percy in this great adventure.

NOR

Here you meet Thomas the Tank Engine and all his friends again. You might have seen Thomas before? He loves to pull all kinds of freight. The only thing he doesn't like is fish. This time, a funfair is coming to Sodor and all the engines, except Percy, is asked to help.

Trivia

  • The VUDU digital release is in widescreen. The runtime for it is also 44 minutes, meaning the learning segments and songs are not included.
  • The UK/AUS DVD repeats the opening and ending for each episode instead of showing animated transitions between the episodes. This is the first UK DVD since Bumper Party Collection! to do so.
  • On the first UK/AUS release of this DVD, images from Thomas and the Birthday Mail and Edward Strikes Out were seen on the back cover, as a result of reusing the US back cover. The latter episode is not included on the UK release, and neither episodes are featured on the AUS release.
  • The "Also includes" section on the later UK back cover actually lists all of the featured episodes on the DVD.
  • In the UK/AUS episode selections, music is played in every selection with the sounds being heard:
    • The first 30 seconds of the Welcome to the Island of Sodor opening is heard in the first episode selection.
    • Music of the beginning of Percy and the Funfair is heard in the second episode selection.
    • Percy's theme from Percy and the Funfair is heard in the extras selection.
  • The UK trailer of the DVD is shown on the promotional DVD Thomas and the Colours/It's Good to be Gordon.
  • The learning segments in the UK/AUS DVD are only featured in bonus features and are not paired after an episode.
  • Free "Roary the Racing Car" and "Fifi and the Flowertots" stickers were included with the Norwegian release.
  • This is the last US DVD to feature learning segments, not counting The Great Discovery.
  • This is the last US DVD to not include the Canadian French track as one of the languages until the US DVD The Thomas Way.
  • This is the only US DVD to feature A Smooth Ride and The Green Controller.
  • On the front cover of the Australian DVD, Thomas's eye pupils look bigger than usual, resembling puppy eyes. This is also present on the US front cover, although to a much less noticeable extent

Goofs

  • During the opening of both the US VUDU digital release and the Norwegian DVD release, Michael Angelis is mistakenly credited.
  • The back of the UK and some Australian DVD covers feature Rosie and Rocky and the Australian DVD description mentions them. However, they do not appear in any episodes on the DVD.
  • The Norwegian release's back cover lists some of the episodes in the wrong order.
  • The promo seen on the DVD "Fireman Sam: Red Alert" uses the US DVD cover instead of the UK one.
