Summary: For the Love of Thomas
Review: We first viewed this movie by renting it. My 2- (almost 3-)year-old was petrified by Diesel 10. We had to turn the movie off until he went to bed so our 4-year-old could watch it. After reading the stories of the Magic Railroad and playing with the Diesel 10 and Lady toys, our 2-year-old is insisting we buy this for his birthday. I think Diesel 10 is a little frightening for younger children, but it is a refreshing change for mom and dad to have more than just animation in it. And mom doesn't mind Alec Baldwin either!! The movie does show how bullying does not get you anywhere, so it is a movie we like to watch to also teach our children something valuable. Thomas Rules!

Summary: Thomas' first film the best
Review: Thomas and the Magic Railroad is the best movie. It is one of my favorite movie. Must get this on video and dvd. I don't even like Diesel 10. He wanted to destroy the railway. That's not nice. But luckly Thomas saved the lost engine from him.

Summary: Very good
Review: This is a cool movie. I like the beautiful trains. I am a big fan of Thomas. Thomas is one of my favorite movies along with Hey Arnold! The Movie. Thomas' first hit from Britt Allcroft is Rated G.

Summary: This movie stinks
Review: This movie stinks. The story stinks, the writing stinks, and the characters stink. The Thomas stories, while presenting conflict, are essentially good natured, but the villain in this one was so scary that my toddler ran out of the room when it came on. My toddler loves to play with his trains and can't get enough of the "Thomas" videos, but this movie was a complete failure. Go with the story collections: they're short, but they're not scary.

Summary: Remember, it's for kids
Review: As a parent this vidio gets 5 stars, a half star for each time my four-year-old daughter has watched it -- and she's not board yet! Thomas and the Magic Railroad is her number one request, even though she has a number of Disney options to choose from.If you are parent, watch it once with your child. You will not ask for a repeat showing. You'll be thinking, "The acting is realy bad and the plot line confusing." (Russell Means puts in about the only credible performance and it is brief.) But wait, your youngster is facinated and having a great time. And after all, that's what it's all about!

Summary: Great film
Review: I like this movie. Thomas The Tank Engine is not nasty and mean. If you think he is nasty and mean, you are nasty and mean. Thomas and the Magic Railroad. If you think they say cornogolly lines. You say those cornogolly lines. I think Thomas is better than Barney. I am a Thomas fan, and I love this movie. I recommand you to see this film; if you are intrested in Thomas The Tank Engine. In this movie A Diesel wanted to destroy the magic railroad's harmony and the lost engine and Mr. Conductor lost his sparkle, and it is up to Thomas The Tank Engine and his Friends to save the magic railroad and bring back the gold dust before 48 hours is finished. When you THINK action, when you THINK adventure, when you THINK journey, when you THINK trains; THINK Thomas.

Summary: Too Bad...
Review: My son loves Thomas, but it is too bad everything they put out is so mean and nasty.
Rating:
Summary: Ack!
Review: The worst Thomas movie ever. Even my Thomas-fanatic son will not watch this one. Alec Baldwin is enjoyable but Peter Fonda is horrible. Storyline is confusing and illogical beyond belief.
Rating:
Summary: some very scary scenes for your toddler
Review: Like all Thomas videos the characters do not model the best behaviours and Diesel 10 in this one is particularly scary. At least, other than the villains they seem to have made the behaviour of the characters milder and more pleasant. I give it a four since I can sit throught this one with my son -- more of a semblance of plot and so on. We usually end up using the sing-along portion of the video. So *do* buy it on DVD.

Summary: How can something kids love so much be SO BAD?!
Review: My 2-year-old loves this movie, and subjects us to it once a day. Normally I can overlook the bad parts of a child-oriented movie, but this one has SO MANY! I think the reason is has struck such a bad cord with me is that the other Thomas videos are so GOOD! I really have to say that Peter Fonda's performance in this move was just plain HORRIBLE! I mean, really, just BAD! The plot was terrible, and the cast (other than Baldwin, who tried really hard) held all the charm of manequins. For 2-year-old child, this movie is fine. However, if you're a parent who will be forced to watch this move OVER and OVER and OVER again, PASS ON IT!
