Very Fun!

I really like all of the Thomas the Tank Engine stories and DVDs and this one didn't disappoint! Though there is one story on here: "The Middle Engine" that irriated me a bit (didn't really have a clear ending and Sir Hatt was a bit meaner than usual...). There is a wonderful song on here called "Small Engines" that I find myself singing along too now! My little one (he's 3) loves it and sat and watched the whole thing through the first time! I would recomend this to anyone with a child that likes trains and/or Thomas!

Another Thomas Success

As usual you cannot go wrong with Thomas - Kids learn morals and manners in an easy to listen and view forum.

Thomas DVD

This video was a great bargain. My children love the DVD and it arrived more quickly than expected. Shipping was minimal and overall I paid less than I would have at a store.

Very good Thomas Video

Great Thomas Video. I liked all of the stories very much(They include: Percy's Chocolate Crunch, Thomas, Percy & the Squeak, Gordon Takes A Tumble, Buffer Bother, Middle Engine, Faulty Whistle) I'd say Gordon Takes A Tumble is one of the funniest stories of all time. The first time I saw this story, I was in tears(laughing, not crying) when Gordon fell of the rails and crashed into a pile of tires, a shed, and a giant mound of dirt and stops right in front of a scare crow. Now this is a story you'll want to see over and over again. Very good, 9 out of 10.

What happened to Gordon's voice??

We got this DVD after our 3 year old saw the cover and became fixated on learning the story. I was glad to be getting another disc narrated by Alec Baldwin, since our first two were Make Someone Happy and Races, Rescues and Runaways, and as a result the voicings by George Carlin, Ringo Starr, and whoever it is doing the current series on PBS just don't sound right. So strong is our association of the Baldwin voices with the Thomas characters that when I thought I saw Baldwin at the theater last week, I wanted to go up and tell him how much I appreciated his work on Thomas - the engines are all very distinctive and characterful.

Imagine my shock, then, when Gordon first speaks - and he has an average voice, not the unmistakeable deep bass of our earlier DVDs. My whole problem with Carlin is that he doesn't realize that Gordon has a deep voice, and now it seems like Baldwin doesn't either. Worse still, instead of his (obviously correct) clipped air-traffic-controller voice, Harold now speaks like some weird British eccentric - ridiculous!

I can only guess these are some of the first episodes Baldwin recorded, before he figured out the engines' *true* voices. So, be warned - if you want to know what the engines really sound like, go for Races, Rescues and Runaways!
