The Great Discovery is a 3rd full-length Thomas & Friends special scheduled for release in 2008. It will be the first Thomas & Friends production to feature the voice of Pierce Brosnan.
Plot[]
The plot revolves around the discovery of an old town in the mountains. Thomas is in charge of restoring the town for the annual "Sodor Day" celebration. In order to get the important work done on the island, a new tank engine called Stanley is brought to the railway. Thomas is jealous of the newcomer who everyone seems to like, so he tries to make Stanley look foolish by playing a trick on him. The plan goes wrong, however, when Thomas goes missing, prompting The Fat Controller to launch a search party. Thomas is found by Stanley, and the two become great friends.[1]
