Like ME :D i come toHungary, and watch this movie my own language, but this is perfect moovie, good soundtrack and verry cute cartoon movie!

This was my favorite book as a child and theme of perseverance and belief in myself engrained deeply from it. I didn’t know they made it into a movie until it came to mind tonight, excited about bitcoin, which influences the opening of new crypto that will save my life. I’m takiking it as a sign! I also loved, loved, Chitty, Chitty, Bang, Bang. Both influenced my life greatly. I’ve been an entrepreneur my entire life since preteen. Disabled by nerve gas, the fighting spirit has served me welll By the way, The Little Engine That could was released 1930. I was born 1963. I must go watch the movie now! The book is GREAT to instilll strength of character, discipline, fortitude, posativity, resourcefulness, strategy, determination, endurance, and of course, belief in one’s self despite naysayers and NEVER giving up. I can’t think of another book that remotely instills and teaches so much to stay with a child through their life - except the Bible.

14:52 Nothing to it. 14:57 On the Other Hand.

I think I can I think I can

Same here when I was 1 since I watched this especially railfan watching BNSF trains go by

I used to watch it at my grandmas house as well! Now I’m 25 almost forgot about it

BGpilot419 Same and I'm 19

I was born in 2004 and i remember watching this and now im 14 and doing my dream playing football and racing. This was the video that told me i could do anything

I still can't believe I remember this, I never had the tape, but I've watched this when I was in Pre-K in Colorado before moving to Missouri. I also read the book, I feel like this movie should be released on DVD/Blu-ray, other than VHS. As a matter of fact, this is something that should be watched for anyone that is wanting to stand out in the crowd, sense of empowerment, and individuality among the main characters. Also, with the female lead, this is a good influence for any girls that have a sense of independence.

Omg sam3 I watched this at my grandma's all the time

How old were you?

For real!

Ditto!

omg so true. When i'd put it on as a kid it felt like a week to get over that mountain, I was so suprrised to find out its so short xD

I couldn't believe it was only 30 min now lol

I think this must've been one of the first movies I ever remember watching too; I must've driven my parents absolutely batsh** playing the VHS over and over again. I watched this movie randomly the day before I turned 13, so in a weird way the book at the beginning also reminds me of the end of childhood and the beginning of who you're gonna become. Strange how stuff like this melds with your perception of the world.

My mom showed it to me when I was 7 years old in 2015

@E Nortness notcsyre ifvi wver saw this as a kid, but I have the book somewhere andvibwantvyo say a record too!

Mdcddfccccccccfgf xxccffgbbg

Man I first saw this in preschool I was either 3 or 4.. imagine never seeing the ending and remembering you never saw the end

I thought it was like 2 hours

Same truely felt longer

Tell me about it. It felt like more then an hour. Man I wish it was longer then an hour.

Gerbillfury3 yeah

same

Yes absolutely

I'm actually crying right now.

I'm in tears jus finding this

The music is beautiful

Tears running down my face.

Awesome! Hope your son enjoyed this! And congratulations on your Gram making it over 100 years!

Small world! I used to watch this at my Gramma's too! Actually staying with her right now. That's what inspired me to look up this old gem. She doesn't know what happened to the VHS she used to have. I salute you, fellow 90's kid! Congrats on your little boy! Hope he's happy and healthy!

Y’all are so beautiful thank you so much❤️💕❤️

metalman20 all aboard the nostalgia train

Me

Oh yeah alot but it was the good old days of television

Me

Oh man. I'm ready to tear up watching this again. This was my favorite movie as a kid.

Jibreel Keddo my favorite movie is Thomas and Friends: The Adventure Begins!

stampycatfan01

Jibreel Keddo, dude I did the same thing, LOL I loved this movie!!!!! 😀 😂 😂 😀

Jibreel Keddo same feeling and the worst is that i have been trying to find it for such a long time, asking my mum and grandma about this movie. We even went to the old owner of the vhs videoclub. I'm from Argentina and every time I was looking for it Thomas the train was appearing in the search results hahah so cool to find someone that shares that same feeling for a movie that encourage me as a little kid. Now hitchhiking around the world as an adult i can see the deep impact that a simple movie of not even half hour, made on my personality.

Jibreel Keddo uhh

We're all crying 😭

Aye😭

Holy crap! It's been so many years since I watched this on vhs as a kid back in New York. I miss being a kid.

I know how you feel

now go listen to the shining time station theme.

How old were you?

This movie came out 8 years before I was born, but my grandparents had the VHS at their house and I remember watching it a lot

0:07 - 0:18 in the opening's track hits me right in the feels every time.

The score itself needs a release.

How old were you?

@@TheLookyus like 5 years old

SAME!

probably as a youngster, we had so much more time to spend on different things, that even only 30 minutes felt like ages :3 nowadays, it's nothing

or X-act Lee 20 mins. Only!

Tell me about it

ULTIMATZEKROM Agree

I agree. The Little Engine That Could, Lionel Great Railway Adventures, There Goes A Train, and Thomas The Tank Engine summed up what I watched as a kid.

Too bad his way of talking to toys was more jackass than properly understandable, then again it could've been interpreted as a way how kids see adults doing important things.

It really hits dofferent as an adult

Me too.

Same here that creepy ass mountain freaked me out as a kid

Same here. I remember that part of the movie really bumming me out.

i know it scared me shitless as a kid LOL

lol same i used to cry

Bruh for real. This was my favorite "movie" growing up I could have sworn it was a 2 hour film

How old were you?

How old were you?

same

Same

dang that was a fast response...

@@AJJJJJJJJJJJJ lol this is faster

how are you so fast?

I do

I second that.

Jacob Fisher yup

It should have been years ago.

*YES*

How old were you?

@@TheLookyus I was a little kid

“there i was -“ lolol 🤣

@@brownbrownson that was the cherry on top😂😂

YES! That's my favorite part

S M O O T H L Y

You're not kidding.

Probably the only good thing about this cheesy movie, along with how cute Tillie is.

The Choir of Angels at 24:22

Tak

Agreed

I'm 25 as well. This movie occasionally occupies my memory but I've avoided looking into it for several reasons. Glad I looked back at it now. I don't know how old I was when I last watched it, but it had to have been no older than 6 or 7, but something tells me it was even longer ago than that.

I'm 19 and I remember very well watching this in my Pre-K class in Colorado before moving to Missouri in '03.

Tower: Little Engine (Tillie) where did you come from? Little Engine (Tillie): I just got back from the real world. Tower: what? Milk Train (Jebediah): the tracks do exist Little Engine (Tillie): they sure do milk train. I just took the toys to the real world on the old tracks milk train told me about. Caboose (Bruno): he was now back for it. Let me tell ya. Tower: wait a minute you’re saying you went over the mountain. Nobody can do that Not even me Milk Train: apparently our newest hauler just did. Shiny Passenger Train (Farnsworth): not bad for a little squirt. Freight Train (Pete): mine impressive, pizza chicken. Caboose (Bruno): I should’ve seen her.

My mind exploded when I found out Scott Menville, aka Robin from Teen Titans, voices Tilly’s bird friend in this.

Don't forget Scott Menville (Robin from Teen Titans) as Chip

Doctor there are other versions?

This is the only one I know. Are there others?

IanXPikachu Yes there’s actually three adaptations. The 1991 version (which people consider be the best one) The 1963 version kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h8tdfZmAmODZcoE.html And the 2011 version kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l9eUecV92sWnppc.html (which I think it’s the worst one, I mean look at Little Engine, her design is ugly and her look doesn’t match in the book or the 1991 version)

Can’t deny u there

Doctor agreed

i also watched that one- i think the fact that "the brave locomotive"s train-character is also a small blue train, plus the two vultures sitting there, the steep hill, etc. -there were many things from that animation that reminded me of this old movie, which i have very fond memories of :3!

Me too 🙂 I always liked the silver fancy-antsy train

I saw a VHS Of this at a goodwill

Cela GreenBean I love you

I only have it on VCR from when I was a kid loooool

Faith Food Fun it’s also on Amazon Prime Video.

There needs to be an HD Bluray release!

How old were you?

@@TheLookyus I was about 3.

@@LonelyOutlaw I remember this movie when I was a kid also

well Just to 1 hour! !

and peter cullen?

Christopher Smith I'll say, I love Kath Soucie.

I like Kath Soucie as Tillie!

How old were you?

@@TheLookyus 24 just about 25

I was born in 99 and I remember watching this between 02-05 as well. It’s so nostalgic

Ethan Schmid THEY DID WHAT? I WILL FUCKING KILL HIT FOR THIS!

Ethan Schmid OH FOR FUCKS SAKE! EMILY JOINED THE STEAL TEAM DIDNT SHE?

What episode was that?

@Ethan Schmid I don't care if Henry and Edward are replaced, they are still part of the steam team.

And by Shed we mean tunnel.

We had the same childhood lmao, throw in An American Tale as well or whatever that mouse movie was called

I think she went around mountain, or through a tunnel at the foot of the mountain. Those are the only other 2 ways of how she got back home. To be honest, I understand your feelings Al.

I wonder the something to

She got back home using cartoon logic.

Ur right about that

Does it look like the bird pick her up

Right 👍 Farnsworth is all "a refined engine should never have to wake up this early....it's bad for our chug"

Teletubbies Dance With The Teletubbies DVD

How old were you?

You can throw Megatron/Fred Jones in there as Frank Welker voiced a good chunk of the characters too.

@@Scrapyard24c good point, im sad that I missed that one

​@@Scrapyard24c And Robin from Teen Titans (Scott Menville)

Me too bub.

SuperFnafLogan ! i always though the train was a boy

this was an accident, that's cool I thought the same when I watched this when I was a kid, LOL!!!!! 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

Some rare versions do make the Little Engine male ("The Royal Engine" comes to mind as an obscure example), but most incarnations make her decidedly feminine (and in the two films, of the tomboy variety, voiced by Kath Soucie as Tillie in 1991 and Alyson Stone as simply Little Engine - aka Peanut Roaster, Shunter, Kid, etc. from the bigger engines - for the 2011 CGI remake that has our title blue heroine actually *gasp* doubt her abilities and even almost give up when the villainous Nightmare Train surprisingly convinces her to hand over her cargo - real world boy Richard & the living toys, who could only talk in the land of dreams - when she breaks down due to a busted boiler and water leakage, only for Richard and the toys to escape the Nightmare Train's cargo hold car, repair Little Engine back to working order, and be off back on their way. Of course, when the Nightmare Train sees this, he flies into a rage and tries to knock Little Engine off her track, which is attempted murder in a kids' film (but I guess, it's no different than the mountain itself seemingly trying to destroy Tillie in the 1991 film, only for her fighting spirit to spark her back to life so she could finish her mission, but except more excessive because it's another train trying to kill one of its own, because one train is good and has a noble heart, whilst the other is corrupt and evil, wanting to cause misery and woe in the world), only for her to pull the whole switch-the-train-tracks gag on the Nightmare Train (sending him into a lowland location with a broken track with no way out that's surrounded by mounted walls on all sides, thereby making any sort of escape essentially impossible, unless he were to back out the way he came in, which he couldn't do, since he came in on a downhill incline and it's practically impossible for a train to reverse itself back uphill once it's started in a given direction, which is why they need enough track to get them from one point to the next, as they cannot go in reverse well once they start going forward).

SuperFna

lotusbandicoot yeah I remember the vhs

Hey, man, it was the 90s

Same man! How come it wasn't all of TBLT? I never understood that

A part of the brave little toaster? What the fuck? I need to find this tape lmao

🥺Just no watching!!! that scary not 🚫 real very underrated scary shit!!! Ya creepy crazy Bitch!!!!! And it's not made for innocent children either!!!

I'm trying to figure out the same thing... Maybe it has something to do with letting go of old socially reinforced negative opinions of things we truly loved as children, but ultimately had to abandon -- And as an adult we're able to understand that it's ok to be a kid, so there's like this cathartic release after all these years of self-suppression and negativity...

To me watching this film about my favorite childhood book is like seeing an old friend that I did not see in Years.

Androidd Prince quality truthful comment

Charmaine Hurst me too. I wish they made a series on this movie like Thomas the tank engine and Friends

Gordon: “Farnsworth would get along well with me and Spencer.” Spencer: “He certainly would!”

What about the fact that the voice of Optimus Prime was in this?

stampycatfan01 He was the voice of Pete and the Cave in this.

stampycatfan01 And Megatron, don't forget Megatron!

stampycatfan01 the voice of Eeyore too

Literally every little engine says it

How old were you?

@@TheLookyus 33

Holy crap! I did not realize that! That IS him! Cool!

The Railways of Crotoonia?

Yes indeed it is.

Talking engines are legend!

That's happened to me before when watching stuff from my early childhood. It's like a bad nostalgia.

In the same boat here :) someone posted a gif in a Facebook comment of one of the trains and I recognized it immediately despite not having seen the film since I was very little. Just watched it and the nostalgia is soooo real. Surreal is a good way to describe it
