Summary: Meet The New Guys!
Review: This is the first release of any of Thomas season 7 episodes in the US, and season 8 is currently in production.In my opinion, Season 6 was a bit of a mess. Writers were brought in for the first time and the episodes were written quite untidily in general, and they were all quite similar to each other.
In season 7, a new production staff partially have come in and improvements have been made, the new episodes are a lot better and on this new DVD we get an example of that with the 4 new characters. The only thing that spoils this release is the inclusion of a spinoff atempt "The Sodor Construction Gang" which blatently attemps to copy Bob The Builder and fails misserably. The stories- Gordon and Spencer. Writer Lee Pressman. Gordon meets a Duke's engine Spencer who is large, big headed and silver, and Gordon soon teaches hima a lesson. Emily's New Coaches. Writer Jan Page. The new Scottish engine Emily takes Annie and Clarabel without seeking permission from Thomas. The Spottless Record. Writer Paul Larson. New engine Arthur is keen to stay clean. Peace and Quiet. Writer Jan Page. New engine Murdoch wants some peace. And then come the two stories "Jack Jumps In" and "A Friend In Need" Writers Phil Fehrle, Jonathan Trueman, Abi Grant. Thomas is the only train in these two as they try to introduce a new set of contruction workers, but in doing so they have produced the worst two Thomas episodes ever! So a lot of new engines and characters and a new narrator to the US, Englishman Michael Angelis who has done it in the UK since 1991. He's a pretty good narrator, you certinly won't think he's any worse than Alec Baldwin sounding like he's falling asleep! A good buy for any Thomas fan, or if you're children aren't Thomas fans then let them try it!

Summary: Thomas goes with newer friends in his movie in March 2004!
Review: Thomas and his friends aquire new freinds. First, Gordon has a rival engine that think Gordon is less than himself in "Gordon and Spencer". Sadly, this the only episode with Spencer in it. Then, a female steam engine named Emily accidentally takes Thomas' coaches by mistake and Thomas gets very cross with her. But, Thomas is saved by Emily and she gets her own coaches! Third, an impressive LMS tank engine has a "Spotless Record" that gets on Thomas' nerves. So, he plays a trick on him. Fourth, a awsome, huge steam engine named Murdoch comes to Sodor and seeks peace and quiet. Sadly, he comes across run away sheep, but gets what he wishes for. Then, Jack a front loader comes to join a pack of construction crew with new freinds such as Alfie the excavator, Oliver the excavator, and others. Next, Jack is a girder when the bridge breaks and Thomas crosses! Finally, a song dedicated to 5 new engine friends, Salty, Harvey, Murdoch, Arthur, and Emily. This video is awsome and if you like engines such as the A4, 9F, or a 4-2-0, then this is your movie!!! For train lovers! AWESOME narrator!

Summary: We Lost One Of The Good Ones.
Review: Thomas The Tank Engine's newest video is a good one but I'm not to thrilled with the new narrator Michael Angelis. He sounds good with some of the characters like Spencer and Murdock but does poor with James and Sir Top Hamm Hatt, when he says "Well Done" it sounds more like "Well Jhone" (O.o). I liked Alec Baldwin more than Michael. Episode Info: Gordon And Spencer: The Duke and Duchess visit Sodor with there private engine Spencer. It's up to Gordon to help Spencer when he runs out of water on the hill. Emily's New Coaches: Emily the new engine takes Annie and Clarabel by mistake which makes Thomas cross. The Spotless Record: Theres a new tank engine on Sodor, Arthur, who has a spotless record. But when Thomas plays a trick on Arthur it costs him his record. Peace And Quiet: Murdoch comes to the island to help pull heavy frieght, but he also wants some peace and quiet. However Salty, Harvey and a flock of escaped sheep ruin it. Jack Jumps In: Jack the front loader joins a construction team called "The Pack". He'd like to stay but if he jumps in where he shouldn't, it might not happen. A Friend In Need: Jack helps Thomas when Ned the Steam Shovel accidentally breaks the bridge. Thanks to Jack, Thomas escapes an accident and Jack officially becomes part of the Pack. This video is great but I wish Alec Baldwin was still the story teller.

Summary: Series 7 & Series 6!
Review: Those stories are new!
Gordon & Spencer:
The Duke & Duchess of Sodor pay a visit to the engines, and bring with them Spencer, their own private engine. He is sleek, shiny, fast and full of pride. Gordon is jealous and feels that he is not the proudest engine on the line. However, disaster strikes when Spencer runs out of water! It is up to Gordon to save him and redeem himself of his stolen title.
Emily's New Coaches:
Emily is a new steam engine who has recently arrived on the Island of Sodor. She accidentally takes Annie and Clarabel, and Thomas gets annoyed by this. But soon, Emily saves Thomas from crashing and he apologises. As a reward, Emily is given new coaches.
The Spotless Record:
A new tank engine from the LMS called Arthur arrives on the island. He has a spotless record which means he's never been naughty or left a mess. TFC puts him to work with Thomas & Percy. Arthur's first job on the island was to take a train of closed vans full of fruit to market. The trucks started to sing rudely and Thomas then plays a trick and tells Arthur that TFC doesn't like the trucks singing and that Arthur should stop them from doing just that. This soon leads to an accident and Thomas then owns up.
Peace & Quiet:
Murdoch is a new arrival on the Island Of Sodor, but the only thing he wants is a bit of peace and quiet. However, this isn't very likely when he comes across a flock of runaway sheep.
Jack Jumps In:
Thomas delivers Jack the Front Loader to a construction site where a team of vehicles from the Sodor Construction Company -the "Pack" is working under the supervision of Miss Jenny. But Jack gets too excited about working and Miss Jenny wonders if he is too keen to join the Pack.
A Friend In Need:
Jack and the Pack are back. Jack is still on trial and although popular with the Pack Miss Jenny is still unsure about whether to keep him. When Ned the Steam Shovel accidentally breaks the bridge, Jack holds it up so that Thomas and his train can cross, and Miss Jenny decides that Jack has proved himself and lets him join the Pack.

Summary: Let's make lots more money by inventing 25 new characters!
Review: Wow, is this ever a vehicle for inventing more new characters! The song at the end is about five new engines in the shed, but that is not counting all the endless construction vehicles in the weird construction oriented story. It wasn't a bad story but really doesn't go with the Thomas world. Some of the new characters are cool but we only saw them briefly and it just seemed like a money making scheme. The different narrator was distracting, he was OK but not what we are used to, I didn't like how he does Sir Topham Hatt but otherwise he was fine just different. Though I understand that he is the one who narrates them as originally shown in Great Britain.
Overall not one I am eager to see again, fortunately we did not buy it just rented it. Of course my 2 year old loves the new trains though. They are cool to look at especially Spencer.
