Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review Just over 150 episodes of Thomas the Tank Engine were produced in all. It must have been a difficult job picking 16 of the best to feature on this collection. Sensibly it begins with the very first appearance of "Thomas & Gordon", in which we are introduced to all the principal engines and familiar locations. The rest come randomly from the six seasons. This means there's some jumping about from the British shows narrated by Ringo Starr and Michael Angelis, and the American ones featuring Alec Baldwin and George Carlin. Early US shows such as "Cranky Bugs", expanded the Thomas universe with the first of several new Bob the Builder-like characters. It was also the point where the stories no longer come directly from Rev Awdry's Railway Series books. Some are more fantastical than others, a visit from the Queen, for example, ("Paint Pots & Queens"), an encounter with a dragon ("Thomas, Percy & the Dragon"), or even a "Ghost Train". Mostly of course, tales follow the format of obstructions on the line, derailments and delays. All of which provide adults with another level of entertainment as art imitates life. On the DVD: The Very Best of Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends, like the previous DVD releases in this series, is a bit of a missed opportunity with sadly no extra features. Picture and sound are per TV broadcast. --Paul Tonks

February 5, 2010 Ruthinha (London) This DVD is really the very best of Thomas the Tank and his friends. There are so many DVDs out there that this one really contains a good selection of episodes! My 2 year old son loves it so much he even learned how to operate our DVD player. The Very Best of Thomas The Tank Engine & Friends DVD 2003 November 22, 2009 Mrs. A. J. Oliver 0 out of 1 found this review helpful This product was ordered for my niece's young son and sent directly to her. I cannot therefore comment on the actual product. It was delivered very promptly and in good condition. very dull bordering on tedious February 4, 2009 jessica long 1 out of 3 found this review helpful didnt hold my sons interest (age 3), even though he really likes trains and stories in general.The story lines are dull and are based on trains being niggly and nasty to each other pretty much every time, except for when the large boulder (called 'Boulder') came down the side of the mountain. The models have some charm, and the voice over is comforting but the stories are rubbish. Boulder April 12, 2007 S. Cotterell (uk) 1 out of 3 found this review helpful Well my 3 yr old loves the boulder story....we have re-enacted the story using a large exercise ball,tennis ball,maltesers and of course using the boulder playset...great fun!..thanx The very best of Thomas and Friends August 17, 2005 5 out of 5 found this review helpful An entertaining series of Thomas stories including all the usual characters that Thomas fans love. Just about the correct length for a young child to watch, although each story comes as a unit so you can stop and start at leisure. Showing reviews 1-5 of 7 1 2 Next »
