1.0 out of 5 stars cheated by HIT Ent. again, April 30, 2008

This review is from: Thomas & Friends - Percy Takes the Plunge (DVD)

They just repackaged some old episodes, the colors are not bright and definitely not HD. The kids don't mind at all, but I always feel cheated, 99% of newly released Thomas DVDs are just old episodes.
Stories:
-Daisy
-Percy's Predicament
-Whistles and Sneezes
-Saved From Scrape
-A New Friend for Thomas
-Tender Engines
-Percy Takes the Plunge
And a sing-along "Let's Have a Race"

2.0 out of 5 stars Release date is wrong, March 21, 2008

By 

CBB Family (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Thomas & Friends - Percy Takes the Plunge (DVD)

Do not get fooled by the release date on this DVD. Don't get me wrong. The stories are as good as always. But the actual production are probably in the late 80s or early 90's. But after watching those more recent Thomas release DVD you'll not be interest in watching those old productions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Should toddlers be taught the word "STUPID"?, July 4, 2008

This review is from: Thomas & Friends - Percy Takes the Plunge (DVD)

The problem I have with this video is the fact that in a segment, Percy calls a danger warning board 'stupid'. Here is the transcript from the video that I'm referring to:

Thomas: 'DANGER' means falling down something. I went past 'DANGER' once, and fell down a mine.
Percy: I can't see a mine.
Narrator: He didn't know that the foundations to the Quay had sunk, and that the rails now sloped downward to the sea.
Percy: Stupid board!

So call me old fashioned if you want and I don't consider my a prude, but I personally don't think I should be worried that a video made for small children may teach them words like 'stupid'. When I overheard this in the video, I though I misunderstood, so I rewound it to make sure I heard it right and sure enough when my son heard it the second time, he proceeded to mimic the phrase over and over, even at the grocery store. I finally got him to stop, but I was furious about it. I won't let him watch it again and will try to get a refund from the Thomas parent company since the store I bought it at won't give refunds on opened videos. I suggest a DON'T BUY on this one.
