The next morning, at the Clay Pits, Thomas is scared by Bill and Ben. A bridge on Thomas’ Branch Line is closed for maintenance, so Thomas has to go and work at the Clay Pits. When he first arrives, he can see no one, but after catching sight of one of the twins, he chases them to the other side of the quarry. They trick Thomas into being coupled to a line of trucks, which are already coupled to a new oil-burning engine named Timothy from the other direction. Thomas pulls the trucks forward, jerking Timothy backwards suddenly.
He yells that there is a monster, startling Cranky, who drops a load of sandbags onto Thomas. The “monster” appears out of the fog, revealing himself to be a steam engine named Gerald, who has earned the nickname “Gator” due to his sloping water tank.

Thomas & Friends: Tale Of The Brave

The only time in the CGI Series until the Meet the Steam Team video Meet Rebecca in which the trucks have British accents, though only some of them do. Gordon agreeing with the Fat Controller about Bill and Ben being mischievous could be a reference to the second series episode, Wrong Road. James’ accident with The Flying Kipper is similar to Henry’s accident from the fifth series episode, Something in the Air.
James rolls in at the same time, complaining that he has been sent for scrap, quickly correcting himself as having to collect trucks from the Scrapyard on Edward’s Branch Line.
Movie Rating
I think the special is far more better then the previous Thomas specials. When Percy stops at the sign warning engines about landslides, the narrator says that Percy had trouble with going past danger signs before. This is a reference to the second series episode, Percy Takes the Plunge. Percy’s story can be understandable to a child in the target range as the morals can reflect to children that go through with these in real life as well as other people too. The climax was much needed in the special to showcase Percy’s bravery. Some parents might say that this is ‘scary’ but they need to know life can be full of fears and that you can be braver then you think.
At Knapford Station, the Fat Controller speaks severely to Percy for abandoning his mail duties the night before. Suddenly, he is wanted on the telephone and walks off to take the call, telling Percy to stay where he is. At the docks, Percy is extremely drowsy as he backs down onto a train of trucks. As they are coupled to him, he mistakes the impact of his buffers against those of the trucks for a monster trying to grab him and runs off without his train, dragging the shunter’s pole behind him.
They pay tribute to Bill and Ben, who rescued Thomas from the landslide at the clay pits; while he is praising them, Gordon and James mumble with disapproval. As the rest of the engines leave, Thomas and Percy are the only two left in the yard. The Fat Controller tells Thomas to go to the docks, but he is worried about the footprints.

Henry even remarks that James was “supposed to deliver the fish, not throw them back in the water” which is similar to what the Fat Controller told Henry in the same episode. The last special dubbed in Swedish, Danish and Finnish until Big World! The first special imported, produced and dubbed in Korean by KBS Media. The first special to have Korean subtitles since Misty Island Rescue.
The dinosaur skull from earlier begins to fall towards him, but it is caught by Marion, saving the little tank engine’s life. Marion explains that the skull is a fossilised skull of a Megalosaurus. She explains the concept of fossils to a very intrigued Bill and Ben before digging Percy out. Thomas is working at the Clay Pits when a storm closes in and the rain makes the clay cliffs unstable. A flash of lightning reveals what looks like giant footprints on the slope above, but a landslide has begun and Thomas cannot stay to investigate. Unable to go back and confirm what he saw, Thomas tells Percy about it, but Percy quickly becomes convinced that there is a monster on the island.
The working titles of the special were called “Tracks to Bravery” and “The Monster of Sodor”. With the help of his new friend Gator, Percy learns all about being brave as Thomas spots some suspicious giant footprints at the Sodor Clay Pits. When the engines cheer for Bill and Ben, Henry’s whistle is heard, but he is nowhere to be seen.

Gordon is not shown in the US credits with the characters voiced by Kerry Shale. The only special to have Sa Seong-ung as part of the Korean voice cast. The only time where the title “With the voice talent of” is shown above the voice actor names and character pictures to show who voiced which character. However this is only on the DVD releases while the PBS Kids version on TV just has the voice actor names and without the character’s credited with them. The first special not to have Michael Legge as part of the voice cast since he joined the voice cast in Blue Mountain Mystery. The first special to have Jo Yeon-u, Bang Ji-won, Shin Jeong-hoon and Lee Min-hyeong as part of the Korean voice cast.
