Customer Reviews

a classic
I was a big fan of the original Thomas the Tank Engine books as a child. I bought the books for my 3yo daughter, and she loved them, so I took a chance with the dvd (having never seen it on tv). I need not have worried.

It's a lovely telling of the stories. True to the originals in tone and text it both stands on its own and also really complements the books.

A Lifesaver
Quite simply, fantastic.

It keeps my two year old amused while I catch up on some much needed sleep...what more can I say?!

The classic show has finally arrived on DVD
I have always loved Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends getting into scrapes or working together in different stories. It has a moral to each episode such as friendship, trust and teamwork, I loved hearing Ringo Starr's voice narrating the series which is 21 years old since it was shown on television in 1984.

It's great having all twenty-six stories from the first series because it saves a lot of space on your shelf, it's good value for money and plus there's over two hours of accidents, fun and mishaps on the Island of Sodor. My favourite stories are Coal, Troublesome Trucks, The Flying Kipper, Whistles and Sneezes, Off the Rails, and many more.

Even adults and younger children alike will adore watching Thomas adventures on DVD with a good sharp picture and clear sound to boot. I reccommend this to fans, whether they're young or old because it brought back happy memories for me and it'll probably do the same for you!

Thanks for taking time to read this, I hope you find it useful!
