Synopsis

In *Ready to Rescue! The Sodor Search and Rescue Team*, the engines of Sodor spring into action when their friends are in trouble—Bertie is stuck on Shake Shake Bridge, Gordon has been derailed, and Thomas's firebox is on fire. These episodes highlight the engines' bravery as they work together to help one another. The stories emphasize that true heroism comes not just from speed and strength, but from teamwork and compassion, guiding each Really Useful Engine on the right track. The set includes the episodes *Fiery Flynn*, *James to the Rescue*, *Edward the Hero*, and *Stop That Bus*.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
