Summary: Chocolate Crunch is great...but something feels off...
Review: Buy Percy's Chocolate Crunch was a good idea, but after viewing it, I wasn't humming tunes from the previous video, and I'm still questioning where in the world Sir Handel went.

Percy's Chocolate Crunch has stories all thought up by David Mitton, but written by someone else. Salty's Secret, the tape prior to this had different writers for each story, which made each memorable. The narration on this tape is good, although Alec Baldwin tends to forget sometimes the voices of certain characters (a la Mavis, Duncan). I think the biggest downfall is that Alec goes back to saying the word "freight cars" to describe the railway cars. Not only is this term overly used, but it makes the film seem like it's trying to be more Americanized when it shouldn't. Sometimes he says "Troublesome Trucks" or "coal cars" and once I believe he used "wagons" but "freight" just adds one really unnecessary word to his sentences.

Summary: Very good Thomas Video
Review: Great Thomas Video. I liked all of the stories very much(They include: Percy's Chocolate Crunch, Thomas, Percy & the Squeak, Gordon Takes A Tumble, Buffer Bother, Middle Engine, Faulty Whistle) I'd say Gordon Takes A Tumble is one of the funniest stories of all time. The first time I saw this story, I was in tears(laughing, not crying) when Gordon fell of the rails and crashed into a pile of tires, a shed, and a giant mound of dirt and stops right in front of a scare crow. Now this is a story you'll want to see over and over again. Very good, 9 out of 10.

Summary: Percy's Chocolate Crunch!!
Review: I enjoy this video. I am sure your children will as much as I do. The stories on this video are: Percy's Chocolate Crunch, Thomas, Percy, and the Squeak, Gordon Takes a Tumble, Buffer Bother, Middle Engine, Faulty Whistles, and Little Engines (the music video). My favorite story is Gordon Takes a Tumble. 'Arry and Bert talk with Austrailian accents here. On Stepney Gets Lost in Spills and Chills, they talk gruffly. Little Engines is a very catchy song (I can't stop humming it!). After watching this video, your children will probably want chocolate!

Summary: Percy's Chocolate Crunch
Review: I first found out about this is when I got the Thomas issue I get in the mail. It said that it has brand new stories and a music video. I don't know really anything eles. It also said that it might have some NEW friends. Remember Salty? He's in some stories. I just can't wait till it comes in stores!!!

Summary: Percy's Chocolate Crunch!!
Review: i have been really critical of alec baldwin's vocalizations in the past (particularly in "make someone happy"), but i have to say that this is by far the best of the 7 thomas tapes we own. the messages in the episodes are good, the vocalizations are interesting, and mr. baldwin has totally changed the way he plays james for the better. i also loved hearing him as the foreman at the coal plant saying, in his best brooklynese: "joo have cawsed confyusion and deeelay." this video is such a tremendous improvement from some of mr. baldwin's previous efforts--please keep it up! i highly recommend this video for anyone interested in thomas or interested in starting a thomas video collection.

Summary: Funny
Review: I like Thomas alot. I am eight years old, heres some information on this Thomas video. Percy crashes into a Chocolate Factory and turns into a chocolate engine. A lady screams when she sees a mouse on Annie and Claribel. Gorden crashes in front of a scarecrow. Bill sneezes a stick out of his funnel. Two weird talking desiels and Duncans whistel shoots off him like a rocket. The stories have really good parts in them. In this one there is no new characters. I have also read some of the reviews and its not a bit scary. Buy it!
Its the best Thomas video.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Say chocolate, I add two words: Percy and Crunch
Review: I really enjoyed this video. In the first story Percy gets dirty, dirty, and he thinks sugar is nice and clean, but it isn't...because oil complicates things a little bit. He sees the oil, applies his brakes, but skids into Mr. Jolly's Chocolate Factory.
During the movie, you will also see what frightens Alicia Botti on a train, Gordon's big show-off and accident, Bill's dilemma with Sir Topham Hatt because he wants new buffers and pretends to be a troublesome truck and has an accident, Percy almost gets dumped into a pile of coal and James gets duped by Iron Arry and Iron Bert, and Duncan's Organ whistle.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thomas and Friends new video 2003
Review: in episode Percy's Chocolate Crunch percy complains abot the water shortage for washdowns and grumbbles about the docks with the silly trucks who make him dirty by pulling him under the coal chute covering him in dirty dust. Later he goes to callent station to rest until harold the helicopter blows sinders and ashes over him so his driver decides to make him happy by taking the sugar trucks but percy doesn't know about the oil on the rails and accidentally crashes into the chocolate factory and destroyes all the machinery before coming out coverd in sticky chocolate and the other engines think it is very funny.

plus brand new characters like salty harvey elizabeth plus the sodor construction company meets jack the digger who meets more new characters like:

Byron the bulldozer
kelly the crane lorry
isabella the sentinal truck
max the 40 ton dump truck
oliver the excavator
and alfie the green excavator
