I just saw the Leica Animatic Reel of TATMR and boy do I have a couple of notes to say about this one:
1. The movie's storyboard (in terms of story) seems to be a mash between the 1998/May 1999 scripts (this might've been from that April 1999 draft as evident by George pushing the boulder towards Splodge).
2. Billy Twofeathers being the storyteller before the change to Adult Lily and Mr. Conductor.
3. The set up for the viaduct crumbling (more so as being subject to repairs rather than part of the universe crumbling which makes way more sense).
4. Henry having a larger role such as when Lily bravely stopped him going over the viaduct after he didn't hear Thomas' warning (similar to The Railway Children and S5's Something in the Air).
5. A few scenes not present like Toby not spying on the diesels.
6. Duck and Mavis (I think it's her, hard to tell) in a few scenes).
7. STS looks a lot like the original design in the TV Show both exterior and interior designs.
8. Mr. Conductor noticing Boomer before he left (and in his dreams).
9. Speaking of whom, Diesel 10 seems to have a larger villain role and Boomer's scenes were small before big later w/ the crossoroads.
10. Stacy giving Burnett the drawing at his house like in Rainbow Sun Productions' version 5 years ago.
11. Lily realizing Thomas has disappeared where she left him.
12. Sir Topham Hatt/The Fat Controller spoke and met Mr. Conductor in person after returning from his holiday.
13. Flashbacks to Burnett/Boomer's past (including Lady's crash).
14. Mr. Conductor not loosing his gold dust during the shed attack scene until after he was at the top of the waterfalls - and he's still his small 18 inch tall size even on Sodor other than at STS.
15. Thomas did almost go towards Shining Time during his fall down Muffle Mountain before descending into the meadow onto the Magic Railroad's branch line.
And...I think that's it. Oh and Ginny Johnson from STS gets a mention.
