The film was produced by Gullane Entertainment, Hit Entertainment, Mattel, Sactown Studios, and Universal Pictures. The film is distributed around the world by Universal Pictures.

The film's story focuses on Thomas and his friends as a mysterious diesel shunter named Brian arrives on the island to help with the , and begins attempting to kill the engines through various means due to being a pawn of a figure known only as the Master.

According to Muldrew, the film is a darker take on the popular children's series, and is set in the 1960's, which was when steam locomotives were withdrawn from service on British Railways. It was also confirmed by Muldrew himself that the film is not canon to either the Railway Series or the Television series due to the new characters, the realistic design of Sodor, its people, and its engines. In addition, Muldrew stated that the film wouldn't even fit into either canon due to its dark nature, and that it would be the start of a possible darker universe for the series.

## Plot

The film begins with a shot of an unknown railyard during a rainy storm complete with both thunder and lightning in England in 1962. Flashlights are then seen, hinting that the workers in the railyard are looking for something. As a diesel shunter passes by, the screen then zooms in on a wanted poster. The camera then zooms in on a tank engine and his crew. The crew are trying to help their engine escape from by scrapped by the cutter's torch. The crew make sure that the coast is clear and attempt to escape from the railyard, only to be spotted by a diesel. The diesel yells out that a steam engine is trying to escape. The engine panics and attempts to escape the yard once again after being spotted by the men with flashlights. Before he can escape, another diesel engine appears and blocks the steam engine from escaping. The engine's crew panic, and run away from the engine, leaving him on his own. The diesel takes the tank engine to an unknown scrapyard. After arriving at the scrapyard, the tank engine is placed on a cold and damp siding, where a man with a welding mask on appears, and begins using his blow torch as the tank engine begins crying, and screaming.

The film fast-forwards six years later in 1968, and the location is now the Island of Sodor

Super Smash Bros. Life or Death/Reveal Trailers

## Embrace Death

The trailer begins with a cut into the Smash Logo, but with an underworld feel. The camera then zooms down into a vast wasteland, while a group (Mario, Mega Man, Pac-Man, Sonic, Alfonse, Sharena, Pit, Sami, and Sophitia) are seen walking around exploring the ruins around them.

One by one, each fighter suddenly disappears while disappearing in a silhouette implying that they were killed with a scythe save for Sami, Alfonse, and Sharena. This captures the attention of Sharena who tries to tap Alfonse and Sami on the shoulder to acknowledge the disappearance of the others. Before Sharena can acknowledge the disappearance of the others to her brother, Sami feels a cold hand and begins to fire off her weapons one-by-one leading to the entire area becoming smoky.

As the three begin to cough, the smoke finally clears to reveal a shadowy figure that captures the attention of Alfonse and Sharena while causing Sami to stare in awe and disgust at the person in question, revealing themselves to be Hel.

"Hel raises HELL!"

Hel then begins cackling as she readies her scythe as Alfonse, Sharena, and Sami begin to ready their weapons.

*Hel Gameplay Footage*

Alfonse, Sharena, and Sami all begin to feel the wrath of the attacks of Hel, as Hel begins to summon the missing Mario, Mega Man, Pac-Man, Sonic, Pit, and Sophitia to attack them, now under her control. As the trio are held down by the group of fighters so that Hel can keep them under her control, a dagger flies across and knocks Hel back. The fighters all stop to turn around and spot another figure within the mist who is flying on a wyvern. Revealing themselves to be Eir.

"Eir faces her FEARS!"

Hel becomes enraged at the betrayal of her daughter, and furiously sends in her puppet fighters to attack, as Alfonse, Sharena, and Sami are now joined by Eir for another attack towards them.

*Eir Gameplay Footage*

The trailer ends with all four attacking Hel once more and sending her launching into a nearby castle.
