Thomas and the Magic Railroad (The Simpsons Crossover Movie) is a 2000 British-American-Canadian comedy-drama fantasy adventure film based on the British children's book series The Railway Series by Rev. W. Awdry, its TV adaptation Thomas & Friends, and the American series Shining Time Station a crossover series of The Simpsons. The film was co-produced by Gracie Films and the Isle of Man Film Commission and released by 20th Century Fox (a subsidiary of Fox 2000 Pictures). It was written, produced and directed by Britt Allcroft, who created both of the previous TV series. General criticism of the film has mostly been levelled towards its plot, characterization, acting and special effects. Since the film's release, various specials based on Thomas & Friends have been released, although they are not directly related to this film.
