| Edu-value | While there's no academic component, there are social lessons about learning to work together, recognizing and correcting mistakes, and knowing the right way to ask for what you need. |
| Message | Percy finds out that letting hurt feelings get in the way of fulfilling responsibility and doing the right thing leads to trouble. He learns valuable lessons about trust, friendship, working together toward a common goal, and the dangers of being manipulated by others who don't have his best interests in mind. |
| Role model | Thomas and most of the steam engines are cooperative, hardworking, and honest. Though Percy uses poor judgment when he feels left out and wants to be special, he learns an important lesson about the true meaning of friendship and the value of following through on an assigned task. The villainous diesel engines are deceitful, manipulative, and mean-spirited until they, too, learn an important lesson about appropriate ways to have their needs met. Female engines play more important roles in this adventure than they have in other Thomas adventures. |
| Violence | Two fires threaten buildings on Sodor Island, but they're both extinguished in short order by brave steamers. A gang of disgruntled diesel engines, led by the treacherous "Diesel 10," captures Thomas and Kevin, a hardworking crane. They're held in a dark warehouse until their friends rescue them. |
| Sex | Two fires threaten buildings on Sodor Island, but they're both extinguished in short order by brave steamers. A gang of disgruntled diesel engines, led by the treacherous "Diesel 10," captures Thomas and Kevin, a hardworking crane. They're held in a dark warehouse until their friends rescue them. |
