Summary: Doesn't Live Up to Thomas the Tank Engine Reputation!
Review: I had not heard much about this movie. I just know my two sons 2 1/2 and 4 1/2 are Thomas the Tank Engine Fans. (For that matter they love any train). So I was anxious to let them see it, we have other Thomas Videos. Not to mention how un-entertaining the movie was for my 4 1/2 year old (who begs to watch and watch his other train videos) he did not care if he saw this one entirely or not. What was worse was how frightened our 2 1/2 year old was by Diesel. I would have given this 0 stars if that option were available. Buy any Thomas Video BUT this one! Side Note: Lady is a beautiful train and we will probably add her to our train collection.

Summary: Thomas the Tank Engine Movie - Magic Railroad
Review: My 5yr loved the movie. Liked "Silly diesel" and as far as he was concerned, it was great! He did not notice the poor acting or the Engine's voices were different and did not match up or that the story itself was not very entertaining. This movie is not meant for adults. The story line is very easy to follow for small children, typical of all Thomas episodes - no complicated plots, no surprises, no thinking! Through the eyes of a small child the movie was wonderful.

Summary: I would give it ZERO stars if I could
Review: I was appalled at how horrible this movie was! My daughter loves Thomas (and so do I) and she has all the videos of the series. We were really looking forward to the release of this movie in the theater. WHAT A LET DOWN!! This movie seemed like it was written as they shot it, (suddenly they need a well, and by gosh there it IS! Funny how it wasn't there in previous shots!) and Peter Fonda goes through this movie as if he's embarrassed to be seen in it (and with good reason!) You get the impression that he was hoping his costume called for a paper bag to put over his head! This movie was a real stinker! BLAH!

Summary: Inane and unwatchable
Review: My 3 and 4 year olds are devoted to Thomas, and we counted down the days till this video came out. Peter Fonda gives an abysmal performance, Mara Wilson is insolent, and the entire film is unbearably confusing. We saw this film three times in the Theatre until I revolted and refused to sit through it again unless I could bring along a book and a booklight. It is unabashadly horrible and I would avoid it at all costs. Do not allow it into your homes.

Summary: Wonderful for the family of Thomas lovers
Review: My son was a die hard Thomas fan before seeing the movie. He loved the movie, and Thomas always has interesting stories and wonderful lessons for the kids. He will watch it over and over at home. The only negative I can think of are the names that Diesel-10 calls the other tank engines - nothing too bad - but does call them names. Also, Diesel-10 is a bad character who wants to get rid of all the steam engines, so there is an element of "bad". I thought it was just fine for my 3 year old.

Summary: Island Of Sodor
Review: For as long as anyone can remember, the island of Sodor, land of talking trains, has been a realm of magic and innocence. But now Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends on the magic railroad are being threatened by diesel engines like the surly Diesel 10 and his sidekicks Splotch and Splatter. Even the magical Mr. Conductor (Alec Baldwin), who has always traveled between the train world and the human world of Shining Time Station, is losing his powers and sparkle. In the middle of this crisis, Lily (Mara Wilson), a resourceful 12-year-old, meets up with Mr. Conductor on the way to visit her lonely grandfather Burnett Stone (Peter Fonda). With a host of whimsical, witty and wise characters, they embark on an adventure in the Island of Sodor with Thomas the Tank Engine to preserve that wonderful world that exists just beyond the limits of the imagination. Brave Thomas reminds them all that "even little engines can do big things."

Summary: Not as bad as I thought
Review: When this movie came to the theaters I heard horrible things about it, mostly that it was too scary for children. I decided to purchase it anyway because my 2 year old LOVES Thomas and we watched it together. I was pleased that it wasn't scary for my son to watch but I was disappointed with the story line. I felt as if the script for this movie was written as they filmed this movie. However, I think only adults will notice all the things that don't make sense and the acting is pretty bad, except for Alec Baldwin and the voices for the trains. Little kids will love the Island of Sodor scenes with the trains. I was also disappointed with the message this movie gives. Yes, it is important to be really useful and helpful, but how about Peter Fonda being a little more worried that his Granddaughter has disappeared and then Alec Baldwin suggesting that maybe her Grandfather could guess where she was??? This gives a disappointing message. Overall, this movie is entertaining and not a total waste, I just hope if they make another movie they think about the plot and message a little more.

Summary: my two year old watched three times.
Review: We all know that two year olds are not the most attentive, but mine sat through this up beat adventure three times in a theatre. I was shocked! The movies is a little hard to follow, with several things happening at once, but the kids seem to love seeing their favorite character in a longer story. All of the well loved character from the television show are present in this feature film. very young Children love it, but adult and older children may have a hard tiem sitting thrrough what feel like an adventure that never ends.

Summary: Great Movie
Review: I love this movie. I've seen it six times. I think it is really cute and fun for the younger ones (I put it on when I babysit). Even though my 5-yr.-old brother liked it, I even liked it and I'm a teen. They have a great cast, Alec Baldwin (Mr. Conductor) was funny, and Michael E. Rodgers (Junior) was great playing the adorable carefree cousin. Mara Wilson (Lily) was OK, but I thought they could have gotten someone else to play her part. The "Gold Dust" was never in the Thomas the Tank Engine Series, but I'm glad they added that to the story line to make it magical. Buy it and see it because it is a good family movie. - Ms_Conductor@yahoo.com

Summary: Wonderful Movie
Review: I went to take my kids to see this at the theater for the very first time at the theater ever. At the time my kids were 2 1/2 and 15 months they sat through the entire movie which is really unusual for them at home. It was so exciting for them to see. Its a great movie to watch with your kids.
