My son loves Chuggington, and it's something I can handle too! Compared to Thomas, my kid's other favorite, Chuggington's characters are more vibrant and fun, the storylines are not as repetitive, and ultimately the lessons are more worthwhile. Like the last DVD this is just six 10-minute regular episodes. Nothing new or exclusive from what I can tell. And no "badge quest" sequences.

My only real complaint on the DVDs, presuming your Chugger can sit through the whole thing at one time, is each episode begins and ends with the theme song and credits, so you WILL be hearing that song at least 12 times before the hour is through. Prepare yourself for hours and hours of "Chuuug-ing-tonnnn! Chugga chugga chugga chugga chug-ing-ton!"

Right now it's on Amazon for $10. Totally worth it.

Our three-year-old boy just loves heavy equipment such as trucks, busses, trains and airplanes. As such, we get him a variety of toys along those lines and my wife brought home a Chuggington DVD ("The Chuggington Championships"). Well, the kid just loves that DVD! It's amazing! He can sit down and view the entire DVD without a break. I think one of the reasons is that the DVD is broken into six small stories. All of them attract his attention but none of them exceed his attention span. It's a well made product for very small children.

Well, with that kind of success, we just had to have another Chugginton DVD and my wife bought "Chuggers to the Rescue." It's much the same as the original. The music is the same. The introductions to the stories are the same. The length of the stories is comparable. The characters are much to same. Same old, same old. But the kid loves it. That's what counts. Just like the first DVD, he'll sit there and watch story after story. One difference is the introduction of a flying chugger, a train with jet engines under small wings. I know, I know, the whole thing is totally absurd, but it really captivates the kid's imagination.

So, what does an adult think of this? Well, it's corny, over animated and the voices are over acted. After a few watches, I'm burned out. The music is bouncy and infectious, but, again, gets on my nerves after a while. I have a slight preference for the first DVD but that may only be that is was fresh and new when I first heard it. The real test is with the kid, not with me. Well, our little toddler just loves these Chuggington DVDs and that's worth five stars. In my opinion, you might start off with the "Chugger Championship" DVD and then ease into others, but any way you do it, the kid will probably love them.

bought for grandson who loves trains electric lionel train layout thomas train on wooden track train table display train books loves to watch live trains in georgia trains that whistle bell rings and move with lots of cars too ts georgia

As stated in my last review, my grandson loves-loves this little train. This along with the other dvd's they have out on Chuggington,I bought all of them for my little guy. You won't go wrong if you invest in these cute dvd's.

Bought this DVD for a family friend's son. This is the second time I have purchased this item from Amazon. Last Christmas, my nephew enjoyed it so much (so did his Mom) kept him fully entertained. Received the item in perfect condition and in 2 days, at Christmas, love Amazon Prime!

I bought this movie for a special little boy who loves trains and also watches Chuggintons on Tv. He loves this movie. Arrived quickly in excellent condition.

the flaps aren't very interesting to my 2yr old son, the little people flap books are more interesting. he loves trains but these flaps only contain color words and names, rather than depicting motion or hidden items.
