Summary: Frightening
Review: I bought this for my 3 year old because he LOVES Thomas and has many other Thomas videos. Although he didn't seem to be that frightened when he watched it, 6 months later he still (on a daily basis) talks about how Diesel 10 (the villain) scares him. While he only watched it twice, he still thinks about and has dreams about Diesel 10. Each night asks me to make sure Diesel 10 won't "get him" (he's very aggressive in the movie). He's never reacted like this with any other movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Movie
Review: I really am a big fan of Thomas The Tank Engine. I have all the DVDs and I think it's better than Barney. If you love Veggietales then you will love Thomas The Tank Engine.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Horrific
Review: How they got Alec Baldwin to do this movie is beyond me. From the terrible, overly complicated, disjointed script to the high school film class direction to the wooden acting this is a dog from start to finish. That said, my three year old loves it. No accounting for the tastes of a toddler.

Peter Fonda appears heavily sedated throughout the film. The character Junior (who for no apparent reason seems to be an Aussie surfer dude) is energetic but lost to the pathetic script and direction. Alec Baldwin plays the conductor with a wide eyed exuberence that nearly rivals Barney the purple dinosaur for sheer annoyance.

I actually enjoy many of my three year old's favorite films (Monsters, Inc., The Wizard of Oz, Stuart Little) but this film is unbareable from start to finish.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: You guies my hate me for saying this, but
Review: I thought "Thomas and the Magic Railroad" was one of the most over-rated movies of my life. I do like the show and anything. I thought the characters were okay, but this movie can have great humor, but none of it really made me laugh. This turned out to be the most over-rated film.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Sparkle, Sparkle, Sparkle!
Review: My 3 year old son loves this movie. He was so excited to see Thomas and Percy and "REAL people" all working together to keep Lady save from Deisel 10. He loves the part where Lady and Thomas run away, and Deisel crashes and gets caught by a boat. He thinks that will "get Deisel out of his bad mood!". We had never seen the Shining Time series, so those people were new to us, but my son was able to follow the story with no problems. I do have to say I think "Grandpa" is a bit too depressed as well. My son wonders why he is not happy to see his grand-daughter and never gives her a hug or smile. But we love Mr. Conductor and Jr. and Patch and everybody else. I see/hear funny new things in this film each time we watch it.
Wish they would make another! Peep Peep!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Thomas in his first movie
Review: Guess what? Thomas the tank engine has preformed his very first movie! The island of Sodor is very busy until something bad happens. Diesel 10 returns to scrap the engines with the help of
his sidekicks, Splatter & Dodge! Even Mr conductor (Alec Baldwin) is loosing his sparkle! Lily (Mara Wilson) is on her way to visit her Grandpa (Peter Fonda) until she meets Thomas &
she & her Grandpa help. Soon, Diesel 10 hears about the magic railroad & the buffers, but fails & then comes the happy ending

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie!
Review: I bought this movie for my two-year-old who is enjoys trains having never seen the other Thomas videos, and he is obsessed with this movie. Everyday he asks to "watch Choo-Choos". Although it seems as though Diesel 10 would be scary my son loves it and carries his Diesel 10 train everywhere. However, now that this movie was the standard, he won't watch the narrated videos.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie!
Review: My four year old son LOVES this movie. He practically has it memorized. All his little friends love it too, most of them own a copy. I recommend it to any parent whose child is into Thomas the Tank Engine.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not like the original--at ALL!!!!!!
Review: Although I understand the story all right, it looks like it would be confusing to very young children considering that it needs gold dust to get into the Island of Sodor. Compared to the original Thomas, this is a horrible movie. If you are considering getting it, I recommend that you get one of the original Thomas videos because I believe your child will enjoy that much more. Although some kids may like it, I personally don't like it at all. It takes ideas away from the original Thomases and it has real people which makes them become the stars and not the trains. The Diesel 10 guy wants to bite up all the steams engines with his pincher claw--and that would be scary to little kids.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: The Kids Love It
Review: Even though some adults may think otherwise the kids love it. Any film that can make them calm down and stay out of trouble for a while......it's this one.
