https://charity.gofundme.com/o/en/campaign/tatmr?modified=1 RAINBOW SUN PRODUCTIONS presents Thomas and the Magic Railroad: 20th Anniversary Celebration, a special video presentation commemorating the 20th anniversary of Thomas the Tank Engine's first feature film, with special appearances and performances from stars of television, film, and theater. In 2000, Thomas the Tank Engine appeared in his first (and only) theatrically released film. Seven years later, a very different version of the script was found online, one with deleted characters, altered scenes, and a different plot and ending. It came to light that after a poor test audience, producers required drastic rewrites and edits weeks before the film's world premiere. While the theatrically released version of the film celebrates its 20th anniversary this month, the original “lost edition” cut of the film has yet to be released, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Combining the May 1999 Draft, the August 1999 filmed script, and the released 2000 film with original material, Rainbow Sun Productions has crafted a unique experience for audiences to enjoy. This reimagined extended edition for the 20th anniversary featurea an incredible lineup of film, television, Broadway, and West End stars bringing these beloved characters to life in a digital script reading, in addition to a selection of artists performing songs intercut within the reading. This presentation will honor an important piece of Thomas and Friends history, while celebrating the future of the franchise during this special 75th Anniversary. This special presentation will feature appearances by (listed alphabetically) Stephen Anderson, Zackary Arthur, Alexander Bello, Arun Blair-Mangat, Kimberly J Brown, Nick Cartell, Chelsea Davis, Lucas Davis, Bradley Dean, Neil Donnell, Alice Fearn, Jake Ryan Flynn, Irene Gallin, Michael I. Haber, Jessa Halterman, Logan Hart, Alex Haynes, Theresa Jett, Richard Kind, Victoria Kingswood, Miriam-Teak Lee, Killian Thomas Lefevre, Noel Macneal, Tim Mahendran, Dayna Manning, Amy Matthews, John McGowan, Blake Merriman, Harper Miles, Colin Mochrie, Michael Moore, Katie Nail, Angelisse, Perez, Jonah Platt, Rob Rackstraw, Kyle Roberts, Eric Scherer, John Scott-Richardson, Carolyn Smith, Connor Warren Smith, Keith Wickham. and J. Paul Zimmerman. All performers are subject to change. The presentation will conclude with a performance of the Carole King classic The Locomotion, performed by several cast members from the various productions of Bat Out of Hell: The Musical. 100% of the donations collected will go directly to the Autistic Self Advocacy Network (ASAN), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization run by and for autistic people.
