Comments
DVD came with broken case and DVD had too many scratches on it. it skips too many times. i was very disappointed with this purchase. this dvd is now in my trash can.
Rating: 1 / 5
Only because when we saw the previews for this on another DVD, it showed Thomas’ mouth moving, as if it were done in CGI. My son was totally geeked for that, which is the only reason I bought it. Not a bit of it done the way the preview was, he was horribly disappointed. While we both loved the video and Pierce Brosnan as the narrator, we both felt let down by the misleading preview.
Anyway, the story, songs & narration were wonderful, but beware it’s not done in CGI, it’s the regular Thomas show.
Rating: 3 / 5
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!
Rating: 4 / 5
Loved the story! Entertaining to both the little ones and adults. I don’t mind watching it over and over again with my 3 yr old son.
Rating: 5 / 5
My 3 year old loves anything Thomas. Toys, movies, whatever has Thomas. So if you have an obsessed kiddo – they will most likely love it too! I don’t particulary care for Pierce Brosnan’s narrating. My first son grew up with Ringo & Carlin – maybe I’m just biased!
