Summary: Love Thomas, but have issues with this DVD
Review: My kids love Thomas, and have many of the vhs tapes. I was looking forward to this dvd for the typical reasons (better picture, easier to navigate...). Unfortunately you CANNOT skip over the 5 MINUTES of COMMERCIALS at the outset of this DVD, which negates one of the key advantages of DVD. This is especially galling for a children's product.

Summary: Wonderful video for toddlers as well as adults!
Review: My son loves Thomas the Tank Engine. We have a few on both VHS and DVD. This DVD is one of his favorites. He even loves watching the commercials (which CAN be skipped over just by pressing the fast-forward button on the DVD remote control) and gets a real kick out of the menu (yes, you heard that, the MENU!). He also loves the sing along songs that are on this DVD. The thing that I like best about the DVD is that when the program has completed, it goes right back to the menu. If you wait for the little train to go across the screen and disappear into the Thomas and Friends logo, it automatically repeats the entire program again and again. We also enjoy the other bonus features such as the games. I definitely recommend this DVD for all you parents who have toddlers who are Thomas fans. Yes, some of the stories are on the other tapes, but if your toddler collects Thomas, their collection would not be complete without this little gem!

Summary: This is a must have...
Review: My three year old son loves this dvd. He got it for Christmas and has watched it countless times and is totally absorbed in it. I have seen it and enjoyed it myself. It is nice not to have to rewind and it will play as many times as you want it to. It played beautifully and very clear. You won't be disappointed in this product.

Summary: Not a DVD quality effort
Review: OK, you could go for this DVD version for thomas fans to save the endless rewinds and so on that you get to go through with a tape, but the resolution was extremely poor, and came through with lots of grainy blurred white spots etc. like a really old and worn out video tape!!! Of course the content is as good as the video, but this is not what one expects from normally crystal clear DVDs!!!

Summary: Best of Thomas
Review: Ringo Starr and George Carlin are back in all of your favorite episodes in the Best of Thomas. My favorite one is Thomas, Percy & The Dragon because it was funny when Percy told the others that he saw a Dragon and they didn't believe him. I am a big fan of "Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends" and "Shining Time Station". This should be in First place. Best of Percy should be in Second.

Summary: 1st Thomas DVD
Review: There are 3 stories in this DVD that are also in "Thomas Gets Tricked." None of the stories are new (hence-the Best of Thomas). There are other features such as 4 sing-a-longs, games, and read-alongs which are great for your pre-schooler. The downside is that they can't play themselves since it needs to be operated with your DVD remote. However, if you have a DVD-Rom drive in your computer, not only will they be able to play on their own, the DVD comes with the game "The Great Festival Adventure" .... It's a great game for children 2 & up. It's a sure hit if you have a young Thomas fan!

Summary: Good Value DVD
Review: This DVD is good value with a PC game and interactive DVD games you can play on the TV included. I was surprised and disappointed that all the classic Thomas stories were all re-narrated (no Ringo Starr on this one!). This seems to be common practice at the moment and it really annoys me (they do it to the original British Bob the Builder and all the characters too!). By the way, I am NOT British, I just like the idea of my kids being exposed to other cultures. Also I don't know if it's just my imagination but it also seems to play fast (maybe because of the PAL (British) - NTSC (US) conversion?) and I think this is the same reason the quality is not perfect. Having said this, the best critic is my son, and he loves it so I still highly recommend it. Oh, for everyone that is complaining (and rightly so) about the 5-minute adds, just hit STOP after the auto start and then MENU on your DVD player - it works for me and jumps straight to the menu screen. Hope this helps!

Summary: Very well done, thanks!
Review: This is one of the nicest Thomas videos out there, in our opinion. It's just very nice how the engines work together, work out their problems together, and support each other along the way. It's particularly interesting when they show the breakdown train getting James out of the mud and onto the track again after those bad freight cars shove him off the track. They get taught a lesson in this video and it's quite nice. When the trains are getting prepared to meet the Queen, then the really shine.
This video is full of great lessons and very well done graphics. This is actually one of our favorites and it gets watched in our house quite often. My little one just loves it. Great video and a great price!

Summary: Best of Thomas might be the seaqul
Review: This might be the seaqul to Thomas & The Magic Railroad. This will be a great movie. I think Thomas & Chuckie Finster are the great film & TV Charcters on this planet. Ringo Star & George Carlin are back.
