'King' heads to Japanese cinemas with summer release

King of the Railway: The Movie is to make its way over to Japanese audiences in the summer.

The seventh feature-length special in the Thomas & Friends franchise will debut in select cinemas in Japan this May.

Ahead of King's arrival, translated as キング オブ ザ レイルウェイ, comes its website with character profiles, activities and a synopsis already available.

A trailer mirroring the original UK version has also been released with more scenes added.

It follows Blue Mountain Mystery's (ブルーマウンテンの採) DVD release, which was launched in the country last October.

King of the Railway: The Movie premieres in Japanese cinemas from May 17th.
