I waited for this movie and my son and I went and bought it the first day it was out! We wanted so much for this to be the best Thomas ever. Well, it’s good – I mean really good, but I’m sorry, Pierce Brosnan is not the right person to do the voiceover. OK, that’s just my opinion and I’m not even sure whether my 3-yr-old agrees or not.
Brosnan sounds like he is doing toddler Shakespeare. He is a little over the top for me. There are moments when this works and others where it would be nice to be a little more “story-like.” What do I mean? Well, it’s the difference between a good actor and a great actor. I don’t want to think about the narrator while I’m watching a Thomas episode. I want him to just BE there, reading it really well. Even Ringo pulled this off and I never thought it possible.
All that said, the movie is great – lots of thrills and plots. And of course we all learn great lessons as we resolve the issues of the day. I wouldn’t miss it for the world; I would just prefer another narrator.
We have seen the current PBS episodes, with the new computer graphics, and Brosnan is not the narrator. Does anyone know the story?
Thomas – you are the leader!

My 2 1/2-year-old is Thomas crazy! He loves the tracks, trains and this video is really a hit. It helps me a lot, because I work from home, and sometimes I need my boy to be focused on something for longer than 5 minutes, and this video does the trick. I also think it’s a nice story and it has a pretty nice message.

My 2 yr old grandson loves this movie. He and I watch it during lunch–I can get him to eat vegetables better because he’s so enthralled with the movie he doesn’t realize what he’s eating!!

If your kids are Thomas fans then this one will be a big hit. They loved the plot and all of the trains in it. Money well spent!
