3.0 out of 5 stars Your child will probably love it, but..., 17 May 2008

By	K. Chase-Rahman "kam2peace" (London) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a parent this is one of the worst films I have ever had to sit through. Terrible acting, terrible sets, terrible story, just bad from beginning to end. Thomas here is just about still English, but his world is entered through the side of a hill in America. So all the characters are American - okay perhaps for the international market and undiscerning todlers, but a travesty for parents who remember watching the 5 minute films narrated by Ringo Starr and who would be forgiven for feeling that part of their childhood has been horribly adulterated. And of course, in Politically Correct America, the Fat Controller becomes "Sir Topham Hatt"

But then again you probably don't care what I think, do you. You want to know if your child will like it? If he/she likes Thomas the tank engine and is 2 years or older, the answer is yes, your child will probably love it - unfortunately.

My advice is to stick to the good old English productions, which are widely available and thankfully sell much better than this Americanised version

4.0 out of 5 stars love it!, 20 April 2009

By	Mrs. J. H. Wheeler "Clan McWheeler" (Scotland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have to say its not the best film i've seen but my 3 year old LOVES it! It's not got a great story line thats got much to do with thomas really but if you take it on face value and who its targeted at then they have gone a brilliant job. I had bought a Lady train for my son and he never looked at it until this movie, now he sets his train set up and has his diesel 10 chasing thomas and lady! So to sum up dont expect too much and after all its for the kids, not us over critical grumpy grown ups!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Hollywood makeover that works!, 31 Dec 2008

By	Tim Fernandez (Preston, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Have to say I completely disagree with some of the unfairly negative comments posted here in the other review on this film. For those thinking this movie amounts to another Hollywood assassination of a great TV series, have no fear, it actually works surprisingly well. Mixing the model animation of the original Thomas characters with live actors was always going to be a risky venture but to the credit of both the film-makers and the cast involved the whole thing comes across as enjoyable and genuinely engaging. Alec Baldwin does a particularly good job as 'the conductor' (literally another universe away from his roles in 'Malice' and 'The Juror' for sure!) whilst Peter Fonda also deserves credit for his performance (again, a long long way from Easy Rider). Special mention should also be made of Neil Crone's superb voicing of arch baddie Diesel 10, which succeeds in coming across as a locomotive version of the Wicked Witch of the West!

Suffice to say my three old son loved this film from start to finish and take it from me - your kids will too. Sometimes Hollywood can get things right you know (!)

This is a difficult product to review, although the film was quite good I think the story is aimed at an older audience than Thomas normally is. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as other thomas feature films
My son is almost 2 years old and 'Thomas' mad. We bought this DVD thinking it would be along the same format as 'The Great Discovery' and 'Calling Other Engines' But its not! Read more
