Format:DVD
I bought this boxed set for my 2yr old son - he absolutely loves them.
Thanks to his absolute delight with these and my not being 'fast enough' to atttend to his wishes he has learned to operate the DVD player and TV all on his own inserting and playing and changing these films at lib. Very good for his motor skills and technical understanding lol!
The all-time favourite is definitely 'The Great Discovery' with the song 'Where is Thomas' as the sing-a-long of choice! It has a 'Roll Call Rap' at the end and he dances to this with great glee and gay abandon!
'Calling all Engines' is a wonderful story emphasizing unity and harmony despite differences and mutual respect instead of 'tit for tat' - It is interspersed with little 'activities' which are nice but intitially made my son turn the story off and change the DVD until he understood that the story continues after the 'activity' is over. It also took him some time to come to terms with the somewhat angry features of the diesel engines. So, though now very much enjoyed, this film was a slow starter.
'Hero of the Rails' is a computer animated film and so deviates somewhat from the visual norm of the other films. The story is absolutely delightful( even for me as an adult). The introduction of the Japanese Engine Hiro and the Engine Victor (not sure if he is supposed to be Hispanic or Mediterranean - he sounded Maltese to me) was a most delightful addition to the cast. The story itself is rich in themes to explore with your child: the boastful sneakiness of Spencer; The humility of Hiro and how appreciatively he recognizes the special attribute in each of the Sodor engines; The loving determination of Thomas not to discard a valuable engine just because he is old and ailing; The fact that though sometimes naughty everyone can change and do better like Spencer who apologizes in the end; And the ever re-curring theme of friendship among the Sodor engines; etc.
There are no songs in this film and they are sorely missed as a feature but the cute story makes up for that and there is one song 'Go go Thomas' included as a bonus feature on the DVD - which is good.
I did not grow up with Thomas myself - but I am very happy I stumbled over these and I am going to order more.
