Summary: A Splendid Red Engine!!
Review: This video is devoted to the adventures of James, the engine with the shiny red paint. All of his adventures are included; from tricking Gordon so he could pull the express to having to be rescued by Edward, even though James thought of him as being "old iron". Sir Topham Hatt likes James because he is a multipurpose engine; he can pull coaches or freight. James manages to get himself into trouble on occasion, but he's still a very useful engine. The music on this tape is especially good, and the song "Don't Judge a Book by its Cover" gives a good moral message to children.

My son has grown to love all of the Thomas videos, and he likes this one very much. Although this tape is a little longer (about 50 minutes) than the others, he can still watch the whole thing in one sitting. Pick up this wonderful video and enjoy some quality time with your children.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: James is one of our favorite characters
Review: Thomas has been with my family for almost a decade. We have every oringinal tape and most of the mixes. What I like about the Best of's is that you can watch a whole tape of episodes just about your favorie character. James is one of the most popular engines and it's no suprise this one was released. He has more videos named after him than any other engine besides Thomas. James is often naughty or rude and the other engines and Sir Topham Hat shpw him what it means to be a useful engine. He's often the most boastful engine and sometimes I prefer episodes without him. I think these are great episodes for James fans and you should definetly buy this one.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not our favorite Thomas video
Review: We have several Thomas videos and this is not our favorite -- James is just too ill-tempered and cranky to make this enjoyable. In nearly every story he's criticizing or making fun of other engines. He usually gets his comeuppance in the end, but overall it's just not a positive experience. There are plenty of other good Thomas videos to buy besides this one.
