The Music of Thomas and the Magic Railroad: A Journey with Hummie Mann

This mini documentary dives into the creative journey of Emmy-winning film composer Hummie Mann and his work on the 2000 feature film Thomas and the Magic Railroad, a film that has become rather beloved in a very niche but impactful fandom. Told from Hummie’s own perspective, this story explores his relationship with the late Britt Allcroft, his work on the director's cut, and the unique challenges and joys that came with bringing a new musical flair to the world of Thomas and Friends. A heartfelt thank you to Hummie Mann for generously sharing his time, memories, and insights. And sincere thanks to my dear friend Rob Ham for providing beautiful original illustrations that helped bring this story to life visually.
