Thomas The Tank is going to be making his debut on the big screen. There is a new Thomas the Tank feature length movie scheduled to premiere in theaters in the spring of 2011. Thomas was first created back in 1945, and he’s been a favorite for preschool boys for many generations.
My son loved the Thomas The Tank videos, books, and toys when he was younger.
Thomas is being brought to the big screen by Josh Klausner acclaimed writer of “Shrek the Third.” Mr. Klausner will be developing the script for the new movie.
In 2010, Thomas the Tank Engine will celebrate his 65th Anniversary. He’ll be celebrating all through the year with new friends and new adventures, all to build up to the release of his new feature film in early 2011.
You can find more information about the upcoming Thomas movie at the Thomas and Friends website.

Reading this got me all nostalgic about reading Thomas the Tank Engine books when I was a kid. But, do today’s kids still read these books? Will kids be introduced to Thomas the Tank Engine through this movie?
