Race for the Sodor Cup is a feature-length Thomas & Friends film, based on the reboot Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go!, and is the first Thomas movie since Thomas & Friends: Big World! Big Adventures! The movie was released in cinemas on September 17 2021 in the UK. Everywhere else, it was aired on TV.

Plot
A competition on Sodor draws engines from all around the world, and Thomas gets paired with Kanna after her partner Kenji gets into a accident, will Thomas and Kana be able to win the race?

Why It Loses the Cup
W.I.P
 * 1) It already carries almost all the flaws as the mh:terribletvshows:Thomas & Friends: All Engines Go!.
 * 2) A very large issue this film has is that it is very unoriginal as Thomas & Friends: The Great Race from the CGI original series, and Thomas and the Great Railway Show from the RWS books had already done a competition on Sodor done before. The worst part is that the movie rehashes plot points form The Great Race and even the original books and episodes, showing how unoriginal the movie is.
 * 3) The idea of a Thomas and Friends: All Engines Go movie was completely unnecessary, as the show was universally hated by a lot of people for being extremely unfaithful to the realism of the source material, and especially worsening the downfall of Thomas and Friends, but for some reason, the show ends up getting an unnecessary film that nobody even asked for, similar to Baby Shark with PinkFong and Baby Shark’s Space Adventure. Plus, the fact that Mattel is still willing to milk Thomas & Friends to death hurts the film even more.
 * 4) You will know that Thomas and Kana will win, the plot makes it clear. You know by just by looking at the trailer they are going to win, which shows how predictable the movie is. Basically, there is zero point in seeing this film!
 * 5) Much like the show, the 2D animation is mediocre and a massive downgrade from the CGI animation of the original show, mostly Seasons 17-21.
 * 6) The characters are very unlikeable just like in the show, and the new characters introduced are very forgettable.
 * 7) *Thomas, just like in the new reboot, is a Gary Stu, and extremely annoying.
 * 8) **Kana is just as annoying as Thomas.
