Misty Island Rescue is a feature-length Thomas & Friends film released as a DVD/Blu-ray combo pack in the US on 7th September 2010 and on DVD in the UK on 11th October 2010. It was considered to be the worst Thomas and Friends film by fans.

Plot
Thomas mocks Diesel for not being a steam engine, and for being different than the other locomotives. Diesel tries to prove himself in a race against Thomas, but suffers a bridge accident and loses his cargo. Thomas rescues Diesel and is rewarded with a visit to the rescue center on the mainland. Thomas is placed on a raft and pulled by a boat. The chain connecting the raft to the boat breaks during the trip, and a lost Thomas is eventually stranded on Misty Island. His only companions are the "Logging Locos", a trio of locomotives who received unfavorable transfers there for poor behavior. After exploring the island for a while, Thomas learns that there is a tunnel connecting Misty Island and Sodor. Thomas and the Logging Locos attempt to cross the tunnel, but are trapped in a cave-in. Thomas uses his engine smoke to signal for help, and the group is rescued by Percy and Whiff. Once he returns to safety, Thomas learns that Sir Topham Hatt was looking for him and has led a rescue

Why It Sucks

 * 1) It introduces the infamous logging locos, mh:loathsomecharacters:Bash, Dash and Ferdinand at Misty Island, who act very cheesy, selfish, and as very lousy logging locomotives who just make fun of Thomas and don't even understand anything that Thomas knows.
 * 2) Strange geographical errors, with the Misty Island Tunnel tunnel going from said island to Sodor being one example.
 * 3) While the CGI animation is pretty decent, it can look mediocre at times, especially for the human characters, which look stiff and plastic-looking.
 * 4) Various continuity errors. When Thomas finds a flatbed of Jobi wood, he pushes it. However, when he and the Logging Locos arrive at the tunnel, he is pulling it without explanation.
 * 5) Although Thomas The Tank Engine wasn't quite as charmful during the final few seasons of the model series, he somehow still does a lot of idiotic mistakes throughout the entire film, even more than what he was previously. For example, he chooses an old raft behind the boat and asks to be carried on it, rather than waiting for another boat, in which that the raft is too weak for the tank engines and the bigger engines to be on it, and worst of all, results in the raft breaking apart and separating from the steamboat.
 * 6) While Michael Brandon did a decent to good job narrating the US Dub, he can some moments of being very cringe-worthy at times.
 * 7) Much like Day of the Diesels, Thomas is very unlikeable in this movie, particularly the scene where he thinks that he is the best because The Fat Controller thought that he should go to the Mainland.
 * 8) If you thought that the show had tons of alliteration, this film really is bad as Thomas constantly says, "I Make Good Decisions, That's What I Was Told".
 * 9) Several plot holes, and unexplained details on this film, everywhere.
 * 10) *How is the raft being able to float forward and go onto a dead-end track on Misty Island?
 * 11) *For some reason, when Thomas finally comes back to Sodor along with Percy, and Whiff, and introduces to the logging locos from Misty Island, and when Harold The Helicopter comes back, The narrator states Harold the Helicopter isn't happy, which makes no sense as there is a scene of Harold being happy when Thomas came back from Misty Island.
 * 12) *How does Whiff know all about Misty Island Rescue if he is new to Sodor? Let it be known that this was released before Season 14 and Whiff was introduced in Season 11, so how did he know about it?
 * 13) Very bad character development, especially of Bash, Dash, and Ferdinand who make fun of what Thomas the Tank Engine says, at one scene, where Thomas asks where to get back to Sodor, and even laughing at Thomas while he's talking about Sir Topham Hat and when the logging locos claim that his name is very funny with the "Who is Sir Topham Hatt?!" line.
 * 14) Paper-thin written story even compared to the feature-length film Thomas and the Magic Railroad, which (depending on your view) it has better writing than this.
 * 15) Laughable and clumsy dialogue, especially from Ferdinand, who says "That's right!" twenty times throughout the film, which will get repetitive after a while.
 * 16) Unfunny and cringe-worthy humor, such as the Logging Locos telling Thomas that he should ride the throwing crane Ol' Wheezy, which would have resulted in the former being killed for being thrown into a cliff wall.

Redeeming Qualities
2010s films]]
 * 1) The premise of having another island called "Misty Island" is a pretty interesting idea, though it was poorly executed.
 * 2) Bash, Dash, and Ferdinand do have a smart point about the Misty Island Tunnel being closed and too dangerous to get in there, and so does Whiff from Sodor at the rescue center.
 * 3) Great voice acting, from both the UK and US cast.
 * 4) The UK narrator Michael Angelis is still amazing. US narrator Michael Brandon does a great job as well though he does sound cringy at times.
 * 5) Diesel 10 appears at the end of the movie, which he would appear in a later special.
 * 6) From time to time, Bash Dash, and Ferdinand does, however, don't laugh, instead, they do want to know what is the Island of Sodor and even the rescue center is while Thomas knows what's all about.
 * 7) The setting for the Sodor Island Rescue Team looks interesting.
