Trivia

  • In an interview during the production of Thomas and the Magic Railroad, Fonda mentioned that his grandson had a "Thomas toy that would move if Mr. Conductor was pressed down", most likely referring to the Push 'n' Go range. However, it is not Mr. Conductor that is pressed down on the actual toy, it is meant to be Thomas' driver.
  • Fonda inspired the song "She Said She Said" by the Beatles, a band of which Ringo Starr was a member of.
