Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go is a fun animated series for kids. It's a brand new version, or reboot, of the classic Thomas & Friends show. That original show ran for many years, from 1984 to 2021. At first, people thought All Engines Go would be the 25th season of the old show. But Mattel Television said it was a completely separate series. This new show brings a fresh way to tell Thomas stories. It has a new animation style and how the stories are put together is different. All Engines Go was planned to start in October 2021.

Making the Show
New Partnership for Production
In October 2020, Mattel Television teamed up with Corus Entertainment's Nelvana Studio. They agreed to make two new seasons of the Thomas & Friends series. This means they approved the creation of 104 episodes, each lasting 11 minutes. They also planned two special episodes, each an hour long.
Animation Style and Storytelling
The new episodes were made using 2D animation. This is a style where drawings are used to create movement. The creators wanted the new show to have more funny physical actions. They also added more music than in the older versions.
A Fresh Start for Thomas
In January 2021, it was announced that these new episodes would be part of a brand new series. This series was named Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go. Christopher Keenan, one of the main producers, said the show was made to appeal to today's audiences. He also said it would keep the main ideas and spirit of the Thomas brand.
Where to Watch
Broadcast and Streaming Rights
On February 5, 2021, news came out about where to watch the show. Cartoon Network got the rights to broadcast the series on TV in the United States. Netflix got the rights to stream the series online in the United States. This means you can watch it on TV or on a streaming service.
Cartoon Network's Cartoonito Block
Cartoon Network planned to show Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go as part of its new Cartoonito block. This Cartoonito block is a special group of shows made for preschool children.
