Trivia

  • Originally, Craig Carlisle was going to be the solo writer for the movie. However, when Bruno's role in the story became larger, Daniel Share-Strom was brought in to help with his scenes.
  • Prior to its release, this movie's title was listed as Mystery at Lookout Mountain, Mystery of Lookout Mountain, and The Mystery of Magic Mountain. It is unknown whether these were working/alternative titles, or simply misspellings.

    • The first movie to have Will Bhaneja as Diesel in the US dub.
    • The first movie to have Tom Dussek as Sir Topham Hatt in the UK dub, not counting the re-dubbed version of Race for the Sodor Cup.

  • Due to Meesha Contreras undergoing puberty while recording his lines in the production phase, Thomas' voice is slightly pitched up in some scenes.
  • According to Daniel Share-Strom, Darcy was originally meant to be shrouded in dust like the first image for the entire chase sequence, giving it a little more suspense until she got washed off by the waterfall, which was the reason why the creators hid the secret entrance to the mines behind the waterfall. But the producers assumed it was to keep it from being too scary for the younger audience. [1]
