Summary: Best Thomas The Tank Engine DVD Ever Yet!!!!!! :)
Review: "Thomas and the Jet Engine" DVD is the best Thomas DVD I had EVER seen in MY WHOLE entire life. The stories are: Thomas and the Jet Engine, Percy & The Haunted Mine, Scaredy Engines, Harold & The Flying Horse, Bulgy Rides Again and Salty's Stormy Tale featuring a song "Boo! Boo! Choo Choo" and the narrators for the episodes are Alec Baldwin and Michael Brandon.

Thomas and the Jet Engine -- Thomas is sent to the harbour to pick up a jet engine, but when Cranky accidentally turns the switch on with his arm, Thomas finds himself whizzing down the line! Narrator: Alec Baldwin

Percy & The Haunted Mine -- Percy goes to collect some goods at the Abandoned Mine, and sees an old chimney there sink to the ground. Percy is spooked, and hears from Donald and Douglas the next morning that the "naughty gnomes" are responsible... Narrator: Alec Baldwin

Scaredy Engines -- On Halloween, Edward tells the engines spooky ghost stories. The stories make Percy scared and so Thomas teases him about this. On the same night, Thomas, Percy and Duck are sent to the Smelter Yard. But when Thomas says he can manage alone to finish off the job, off Percy and Duck go, but how brave is Thomas when he's on his own? Narrator: Alec Baldwin

Harold & The Flying Horse -- It is the time of year for the Summer Fete. Harold the Helicopter wishes that he could help too; but he's so busy with his patrol duties that he doesn't have time. This makes him sad.
Later, however, his friend, Pegasus the Horse becomes stuck in a ditch and needs help. So Harold flies to the rescue by lifting him out of the mud and Pegasus is flown to the Fete - giving Percy quite a shock as to seeing what he thinks is a flying horse! Narrator: Michael Brandon

Bulgy Rides Again -- Summertime has arrived on Sodor. There are more passengers arriving but less engines to do the work. Thomas calls this a "double decker" problem, which gives the Fat Controller an idea. He goes to see Bulgy (who has been a henhouse for several years) in his field to tell him that he'll be back on the road, helping to deliver passengers. Bulgy is delighted, but when he is cleaned and mended, the hens miss their old home and they creep aboard him one night, where they cause confusion and delay the next morning... Narrator: Michael Brandon

Salty's Stormy Tale -- Salty is hurt when Thomas and Percy tease him about how he talks, but when a lighthouse's light goes out, it's up to Salty and new arrival Fergus to save a ship heading for the rocks. Narrator: Michael Brandon

I watch "Thomas and the Jet Engine" like almost everyday. I got this DVD for a present from my mom for an award for staying at sleepaway camp for 3 1/2 weeks. I was SO afraid to go to sleepaway camp. This was my first time experiencing a sleepaway camp. My parents told me that if I go to the sleepaway camp for 3 1/2 weeks, "Thomas and the Jet Engine" DVD will be a present. So I stayed there. When I came back, I got the DVD as a present and I LOVED it. I LOVED it SO much that maybe now I should get the video that includes the Bulgy wooden railway car.

The previous Thomas The Tank Engine DVD "Steamies vs: Diesels" wasn't all that good that I wanted to make sure my hopes for "Thomas and the Jet Engine" is going high. The old theme song is used. The old Thomas version is also used. I'm glad "Thomas and the Jet Engine" did MUCH better. I don't think any more Thomas DVDs can beat this one!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I sounds awesome
Review: After doing some reserch on this video, it sounds like it's going to be good. The stories seem to focuse on different situations instead of the typical ones that are mostly about accidents or problems and how they are resolved. Did'nt you ever wonder if Bulgy was ever going to ride again, well in this volume they finally bring him back. My hopes are high for this video.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Entertaining Video
Review: Alec Baldwin and Michael Brandon narrarate this exciting video.

Thomas & the Jet Engine: Thomas, Percy, James and Henry are tired of Gordon boasting about how fast he is, but Thomas secretly wishes he could go just as fast. When Cranky knocks the switch on his special load (a jet engine), Thomas' wish comes true!

Percy & the Haunted Mine: The branch line stations are having a "Best Dressed Station" contest. Percy is sent to pick up shrubbery from Maithwaite. As he waits in the night, a smokestack at the old mine sinks to the ground! Donald and Douglas say it's the work of the Naughty Nomes. Percy then sees the old building sink! Then he sees what could be the nomes...

Scaredy Engines: Edward tells Thomas, Percy and Duck scary stories on Halloween. When Sir Topham Hatt send them to pick up scrap from the smelter, Thomas teases Percy for being scared. He later says he can manage alone, so Percy and Duck leave, but how brave is he on his own?

Harold & the Flying Horse: The summer fete has come to the Island of Sodor, but Harold the Helicopter feels left out. He's on rescue duty. Then a horse named Pegasus is stuck in a ditch and Harold might be able to help him and the fete after all.

Bulgy Rides Again: More and more passengers are coming and less engines are able to help with them. Sir Topham Hatt decides that Bulgy the Bus needs to be restored and put back to work. Bulgy is pleased, but what happens when the chickens miss their home?

Salty's Stormy Tale: Salty feels sad when Thomas and Percy mock the way he talks. Salty worries that a storm will soon come as he collects a new traction railway engine named Fergus, and he is right. It's soon up to Salty and Fergus to save a ship when the lighthouse goes out. Meanwhile, Thomas and Percy try to find Salty to apologize.

Summary: Brillaint Comeback They Actually Listened to Us
Review: I have gone on and on about how much I hate the new Thomas movies but Steamis vs. Diesels was something else. I was expecting nothing from this one but I really was suprised. They reinstaded the theme song and the intermissions and put Alec Baldwin back (Wasn't too happy about that). The stories were good but people watching with the toddler who is watching will be quite bored. Thomas has changed quite a bit but I think Hit Entertainment is on the right track to fiking the problems. This is a sure hit for your kids but pop in an earlier one if you want to stay awake during it as well.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thomas and the Jet is something else; you got to get it.
Review: My 3-year old, who has seen many other Thomas videos/DVDs was really scared by this one - "The Spooky Mine" and "Scaredy Engines" were too much for him. He doesn't even want to watch it again, and based on his initial reaction, I don't want him to watch it again either.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fairly good, but not the best
Review: My two year old loves this DVD---and I mention this because he's the only Thomas connoisseur in our house. He doesn't seem to notice the same idiosyncracies that I do as I'm listening along. For instance, the problem I find is that Sir Topham Hatt's voice sounds different from story to story. I like this Brandon character on the whole (sounds kind of Mike Myers-y. However, the lack of continuity in the tenor of the voices bothers me. Also, Bulgy sounds different from moment to moment. Mind you, my little fellow is hooked and could not care less, but as most responsible TV parents know, if your kid watches it, you do too!

And is Percy's imagination getting the best of him, or are the naughty gnomes really playing tricks around the old mine? Can horses fly?
