Trivia

Calling All Engines! was the only film featured not to be a CGI production and the only one to feature just the narrator doing the character's voices and the original HiT Entertainment intro.
Tale of the Brave, The Great Race, Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure and Big World! Big Adventures! are low pitched.
Journey Beyond Sodor and The Adventure Begins were the only CGI films not to be featured. Thomas and the Magic Railroad and The Great Discovery were also the only model production films not to be featured, although the former also received a rerelease in 2020.
Discs 1 and 2 are The Heroic Collection, with the only difference being new disc art.
This is the final DVD release for two things:
- The final DVD release to be distributed by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.
- The final DVD release to center around the original Thomas & Friends series in the United States, not counting the 2020 rerelease of Thomas and the Magic Railroad. This was due to the poor marketing on the Big World! Big Adventures! rebrand, as well as plans to reboot Thomas into a new series separate from the original 1984-2020 show.
The Let's Race activity card features Rebecca, despite her not appearing in any of the features and she was not introduced until the twenty-second series.

Goofs

Blue Mountain Mystery is mistakenly titled "Blue Mountain" on the back of the box, the case and disc.
In Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure, Harwick was misspelled as "Harwich".
In Big World! Big Adventures!, Yong Bao's name is just named "Yong".
On the DVD case back cover, Calling All Engines! is said to be widescreen instead of fullscreen.
