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!!

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. Rating: 5 / 5 My 2 1/2-year-old is Thomas crazy! He loves the tracks, trains and this video is really a hit.

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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />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. <br /> <br />We have seen the current PBS episodes, with the new computer graphics, and Brosnan is not the narrator. Does anyone know the story? <br /> <br />Thomas - you are the leader! Rating: 4 / 5 I waited for this movie and my son and I went and bought it the first day it was out!
