Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thomas and Friends
Review: My sons now have about 12 VHS and DVDs with Thomas, and this is their favorite!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: TOO SCARY FOR MY 2-YR-OLD
Review: My two-year-old gets too upset watching this one. I don't recommend it for this age.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Death and disaster, not much depth.
Review: Not the subtle emphasis on attitudes and work ethics found in "Thomas and his Friends Help Out." Also scarier for smaller children. In "Friends .." a train gets stuck on a hill, or gets his fire put out by rising water. In "Races .." people actually come close to dying gruesome deaths -- smothered by an avalanche, or plumetting down a waterfall. Maybe older kids can take the potential disasters better (which don't come to pass in the end.) This video is about events and circumstances, while "Friends .." is about people (trains) and their interactions.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Percy is working hard in this video.
Review: Percy is saving Toby from a flood, getting "Put Upon", he and his engine friends turn lorries into the broken words:"Smashed,Broken,and Sunk.", and is too busy for the likes of the Troublesome Trucks.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Disasters
Review: This is a good Thomas The Tank Engine video. Episodes Toby & the Flood, Put upon Percy, Horrid Lorry, Bye George, Something in the air, Oliver owns up, and "Accidents Will Happen" from Thomas's Trackside Tunes video and The CD/ Cassette Thomas Songs & Roundhouse Rythms. Three silly words Thomas said about the lorries. "Smash", "Broken" & "Sunk". I laugh a lot at the accidents but way loud at the Lorries accidents.

Summary: Crash, bang, clankity clang
Review: This is a sort of "Best Thomas Trainwrecks" collection. It is a series of five minute stories, each involving trains that derail, crash into one another, drive into water or get covered by dirt. It is great fun. My two year old, who is a Thomas addict, loves this video and just laughs with glee with every wreck.

Alec Baldwin's narration is excellent. This is a must have video for your Thomas collection!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A video worth watching!
Review: This is a wonderful Thomas video. It's funny, but it also teaches many good lessons. Our favorite stories are "Bye, George," "Horrid Lorries," and "Something in the Air." We love the music video and think that it's very funny. This video is enjoyable for Thomas fans of all ages.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A entertaining Thomas video!
Review: This Thomas video has a whole bunch of crash sequences in it and every time I see an accident in Thomas, I start laughing so you can imagine how much I laughed while watching this video. Although, Percy is just the same old engine again; whining and complaining about all the work he has and feels that he is "put upon" with so much work. But let's put Percy aside shall we and focuse on the hilarious stories on here:

Toby And The Flood 5/5:
It's a stormy day on the Island of Sodor and Toby is miserable because of all the dark clouds. He is sent on patrol to see how bad the storm really is and finds out that the dam is breaking so he hurries back to warn everyone. But on his way, while crossing a bridge, the dam collapses and sends Toby down stream. Can he make it to safety in time before the river takes him down the waterfall?

Put Upon Percy 4/5:
Percy is whining and complaining that he is being put upon with work. Thomas pays no attention to him and tells him that he's just a silly engine. But when there is an avalanche at the quarry, will Percy be able to save himself and his driver in time?

Horrid Lorry 4.5/5:
Cranky tells the engines that they are too slow and delay the ships at the docks. He says that a lorry should take over their jobs. The engines are furious and hope that a lorry does not come, but one does, along with two other ones. The lorries are very rude to the engines and take over their work. Pretty soon there is no work left for Toby. Will the lorries continue this madness? Find out in this story.

Bye George! 5/5:
George just can't stand railways. One day, he is ripping up an old railway when Thomas goes by with some freight cars. George starts saying how bad railways are but Thomas can't hear him. George thinks that Thomas is ignoring him and this makes him mad. He soon ends up causing trouble.

Something In The Air 5/5:
Thomas is a bit late to the docks with Henry's load for The Flying Kipper. Thomas tries to warn Henry that there is danger on the rails but Henry doesn't listen. And because of that, he ends up swimming with the fish.

Oliver's Find 3.5/5:
Oliver has an accident with some freight cars, so Sir Topham Hatt has him run the mail train for a while. One night, Oliver gets lost and Sir Topham Hatt gets worried. When he finally finds Oliver, he finds something else very interesting.

"Accidents Will Happen"(Music Video) 6/5:
A fun and catchy song that is a great addition to this video, since it talks about accidents.

I'd recommend this Thomas video. It is funny and even sad at time but it will provide lots of entertainment to the whole family.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great and Cool!
Review: This Thomas video is one of the best. My favorite story was Horrid Lorry becasue at the end of the story you get to see some funny scenes. I'm still wondering why people say its scary for kids when it really isn't. I thought Percy was brave when the mine was collsasping and when Toby was floating down the river.
This is a must have for your collection. You are going to like it!
