- “I can find another hat. But I will never find another Thomas.”
- ― Sir Topham Hatt
Misty Island Rescue is a feature-length Thomas & Friends special released as a DVD/Blu-ray combo pack in the US on 7th September 2010 and on DVD in the UK on 11th October 2010.
Plot
A new Search and Rescue Centre is being built on the Island of Sodor as a base of operations for Harold, Rocky and a new lifeboat named Captain. Special, strong, deep-red Jobi wood from Hiro's homeland is being used to make the Centre. All the engines are very excited and all want to help deliver the Jobi wood to the Rescue Centre. Frustrated at being teased by Thomas for not being a steam engine, Diesel decides to prove his superiority over the steam engines by taking the Jobi wood to the Rescue Centre himself and races down the tracks. Thomas sees that Diesel is going too fast and chases after him. The chase leads to Thomas saves Diesel from falling over the edge of the unfinished bridge overlooking the Rescue Centre, but the Jobi wood crashes into the sea below. Now the Rescue Centre cannot be built.
As a reward for his daring rescue, Thomas is allowed to visit a Search and Rescue Centre on the Mainland. He is then told there is no room on the steam boat, but Thomas notices a raft behind the boat and asks to be carried on it. Thomas says goodbye to his friends at Brendam Docks and heads across the sea to the Mainland. That night the raft carrying Thomas becomes separated from the steam boat and Thomas ends up alone and stranded on the mysterious Misty Island - a wild and wonderful island with a multitude of secret hideouts, rickety tracks and bridges. Thomas discovers that the island has its own railway and meets the three engines, known as the "Logging Locos", who run it - Ferdinand, Bash and Dash. Although they offer him to join them, he rejects them out of fear of them and attempts to look for a way off the island. Meanwhile, out at sea, Harold and Captain carry out a search party to look for Thomas as the Fat Controller rallies the engines to look for Thomas on Sodor.
Thomas later tries to go to the logging locos for help, though they are angry at him for rejecting them. Thomas also notices that Misty Island has plentiful supplies of the rare Jobi wood and attempts to try and take them back to Sodor, but has trouble dealing with the loading crane Ol' Wheezy and uses the last of the oil to try and (unsuccessfully) use it on the other machine, Hee-Haw. Despite this, the others help Thomas get the Jobi Wood and he attempts to find his way back to Sodor with the logging locos and uncovers a tunnel that connects the two islands.
Thomas decides to go through the tunnel back to Sodor, but he and the Logging Locos get trapped after the tunnel falls in and they run out of fuel. Thomas however manages to make smoke signals Salty told him about. After being spotted by Percy, the Fat Controller, James, Edward and Gordon sail to Misty Island in hopes of finding Thomas while Percy and Whiff go through the tunnel.
Meanwhile, Thomas gets upset about how what he'd done. The Logging Locos however comfort him for what he did and laugh with him about how they were initially from the mainland until they were sent away for being naughty. They are soon rescued as Percy and Whiff come to the blockade, break through to Thomas and they all puff back to Sodor. Thomas introduces Bash, Dash and Ferdinand to Sodor. After finding out that Sir Topham Hatt, Edward, Gordon and James are on Misty Island, Thomas rushes back there again and finds them to the delight of everyone.
After the Logging Locos are given the Sodor treatment at the Steamworks, they help to build the Rescue Centre. They finish it in time and it is soon opened, as the Fat Controller welcomes the Logging Locos to Sodor. As the engines are laughing with their new friends at the Search and Rescue Centre, Diesel 10 rolls up on the mountain ledge, sniggers and glares down at the engines remarking that they will laugh on the other side of their boilers soon.

It also aired on PBS Kids Sprout on 20th August 2011, in the UK on Nick Jr. on 28th October 2012 and in Norway on TV 2 on 29th December 2013, 3rd January 2014, Easter 2014 and Christmas Eve 2011 on ABC4KIDS, but when it aired the third time on the ABC on 26th October 2014, Diesel 10's scene was omitted.
- This marks the only of few things:
- Bash and Dash's only appearances in a special.
- Whiff's only speaking role in a special to date.
- Not counting portrait cameos in specials afterward, this is Ferdinand's only appearance in a special.
- Stock footage from the thirteenth series episode, Henry's Good Deeds is used.
- The trailer used footage from the thirteenth series episode, Thomas and the Runaway Kite.
- Ferdinand says "That's right!" seventeen times during the special. However, "That's right!" in total was said twenty times in the special with Sir Topham Hatt and Thomas.
- Diesel has a different horn sound, making him sound like an American diesel shunter.
- This was Jo Jordan's only special as creative producer.

- This special takes place between the thirteenth and fourteenth series.
- When Sir Topham Hatt answers the phone in his office, a calendar can be seen behind him. It has a 2011 layout, the same year Day of the Diesels, the next special, was released. That also can indicate that the special could take place in 1960, since it has the same calendar layout.
- The events of this special are mentioned by Paxton in Big World! Big Adventures! during the song, Where in the World is Thomas? As well by Judy and Jerome (who had both yet be introduce in 2015) in the twentieth series episode, The Missing Breakdown Train.
- たんじょうび (tanjōbi) is the Japanese word for "birthday", so the "Jobi" in "Jobi Wood" may have been a reference to the 65th anniversary of the franchise.
- In the Japanese dub, the scene of James saying "The mist is too thick" was cut out.
- A flashback of Diesel dropping the logs in the water was later seen in Blue Mountain Mystery.
- Starting from this special until Series 14, Diesel receives a new horn sound. It was also used for him in some games and some merchandise. This would later be reused for Mavis starting with the fifteenth series onwards (excluding Day of the Diesels and Thomas and the Sounds of Sodor).
- The EBS version of Misty Island Rescue Korean dub was dubbed with 1 actor as the narrator, [Ji-Jinhee (지진희)] and 4 voice actors for the engines and other characters [Sin-yong-u, Eom-sanghyeon, O-byeongjo (신용우, 엄상현, 오병조], however, Emily's voice actor was never credited.
- The Korean version of Misty Island Rescue was never dubbed in Korean. But K.NET got Instrumental.

- Jules de Jongh is accidentally credited in the UK version despite not voicing any characters in that dub.
- Michael Brandon is not credited in the US for voicing Diesel.

- The quarry walls at the slate quarry have tints of pink.
- When the other engines whistle goodbye to Thomas, Salty shuts his eyes like the rest of the engines as if he is honking his horn, but no horn is heard.
- When the Fat Controller peers into the Misty Island Tunnel, Whiff has no lamp. However in the next shot, he gains one.
- When the engines whistle at Tidmouth Sheds, Emily has Rosie's whistle sound.
- During the night scene, the steam-boat's mast lights are backwards: the green light is for starboard (right) and the red light is for port (left).
- When Thomas arrives at the Logging Station, and the camera pans up, Bash is barely seen near the bottom left before he starts moving a few seconds later.
- When Thomas and the logging locos puff towards the tunnel, Thomas is pushing a flatbed of Jobi logs, but when they arrive at the tunnel's entrance, he is pulling it.
- When Whiff and Percy enter the Misty Island Tunnel from Sodor to find Thomas, they are facing forwards, but when the engines start back to Sodor they have turned around and are facing forwards again.
- In the UK narration, it is said that Thomas had to be coupled up to some "freight cars" of bricks. However, freight cars is an American term for trucks.
- Approximately thirty-six piles of Jobi logs were on the steamboat, however only three are unloaded onto Diesel's train.
- Like in the thirteenth series, Bertie's radiator is missing.
