Description

Magic carpets, rip-roaring races, snow, sleet, wind and trainloads of ice cream! Every season on the Island of Sodor brings new opportunities for adventure and discovery. And that means there is never a dull moment for Thomas and all the engines on Sir Topham Hatt’s Railway. Will Emily get the timber to Farmer McColl in time to save the baby calves? Will Toby muster enough confidence to push Gordon up a hill? Maybe with a little encouragement from his friends. And will James learn that it’s better to be useful than to be important? Watch and find out. Share in these timeless stories featuring seven of the island’s classic characters, and you’ll see why it’s true that it’s great to be an Engine!

Classic Thomas!
My son asked for this by name. He loves it. Item was on time and in new condition.

Another Thomas favorite
I purchased this item as a replacement for one that was broken. It is a favorite of my grandson, and he especially enjoyed the toy train that came with it, as the original was just the DVD. (We got Percy!) We had used this DVD in the car on vacation trips to Tucson and San Diego and it was a tragic moment went it was found to be broken. I'm glad it was still in stock! ... show more

My son loves the movie, one problem with the VHS tape
This is a very good story with great songs and positive message for the children-and adults. Unfortunately the VHS tape came broken. Probably because of manfacturing year, the tape that hold the film dry out and the movie didn't play. We opened it and fix it-not an easy task. At the end my son was singing and very happy to have his movie playing. ... show more

1 yr likes to watch Thomas
I think my one year old grandson likes Thomas and friends because of the big faces on the engines. His face lights up like a Christmas tree when he hears the music or sees an engine's face on the screen. He will watch for 20 - 30 minutes without get distracted ... this works very well when he is riding in a car seat! ... show more

Being an engine wasn't so great this time
I was really suprised about how much people liked this movie considering Steamies vs. Diesels was a lot like it. First of all I miss the theme song and I hate the activities that are between the stories. I enjoy the stories themselves all though I think they need work. It's been almost ten years since Shining Time Station and now there's a new show on TV here in the states which isn't all that bad. I know that the people who reviwed this haven't been fans since the beginning which I have so your opinion is different then mine. I thought Thomas and the Jet Engine as I quoted was a step in the right direction so by my standards this would be a step in the wrong direction. This is only the second Thomas movie of its type and I own every Thomas tape and dvd there is so this isn't going to make me stop watching. Thomas has been through a lot of different companies and a lot of changes have been made. So for the people out there who work in those companies and have heard what I have said, the show still has some of it's original fanbase and we still love the show so please don't change it to the point where we stop watching. For all of you who read this I am a dedicated Thomas fan who has been trying to make a point and I thank you for reading and I hope you keep watching this great show. ... show more

From a clueless, fledgling Thomas fan...
I got "Percy's Chocolate Crunch" on video for my little boy (now 20 months) and he seems to really like it. The result of that purchase was that we have watched that video countless times. Personally, my favourite line from it is "YOU HAVE CAUSED CONFUSION AND DELAY" in that booming voice after Percy gets tipped over. Anyhow, having grown up myself on Sesame Street, I have to say that this whole series/concept is very different for me and takes some getting used to...I usually don't find the stories particularly "funny" or anything else as so other Thomas fans. That being said... I then purchased "It's great to be an engine" with a toy on DVD. I have to say that I miss the catchy soundtrack from "Percy's chocolate Crunch" and that funky voice that Alec Baldwin offers us. Brandon's voice on this edition seems rather bland and heartless (not much modulation in tone and volume). The first viewing for my little guy resulted in him walking away in the middle (but this may have been because the DVD is quite long) but, after that, he seemed to warm up to it and calls it his "Toot-Toot". I'd like to get editions with better narration and maybe more imaginative stories but don't really know what to get and the "technical information" offered on Amazon pages doesn't indicate who is narrating the particular edition. Of course, I also want to get ones which offer the toys (how do you know which toy is going to come with the DVD/video?...what if you get a duplicate?) because the genuine Thomas toys here in Cyprus cost an average of 25+ dollars (for one train car!). Another question I have is if the toys that are offered for free with the videos/DVDs are the same size/type/style as those offered in the Thomas train sets (I want to get my little boy started on that). All in all, I am pleased with my purchases in the Thomas area and will continue to develop our collection. ... show more
