New Thomas the Tank Engine Documentary Debuts on YouTube

An exclusive 30-minute YouTube documentary about Thomas the Tank Engine, Thomas & Friends: 70 Years of Friendship, has debuted in time for Thomas’ 70th anniversary year, on the Thomas & Friends YouTube channel. Mattel produced the documentary with Tongal, and teamed with the crowdsourcing studio to select Mindfruit as the project’s production company.

Mindfruit spent the earlier part of this year in worldwide destinations including New York, Toronto, Bangladesh, Dubai, Hong Kong, Japan, Melbourne, Colorado, and Amsterdam, interviewing fans and sharing interviews with Christopher Awdry, the son of the Thomas the Tank Engine creator, Reverend W. Awdry, as well as crew members and more.
