Thomas the Tank Engine fans will scarcely breathe as Thomas and friends encounter haunted mines, dangerous boulders with watchful eyes, ghost cars on moonlit nights, fog-shrouded scrap yards, and a ghostly figure protecting engines from unseen dangers. Thomas, Rusty, Toby, Duncan, Stepney, and Henry courageously face their fears to learn that many "ghosts" are just regular people (or trains) that appear frightening due to one's imagination. Annie, Clarabel, Lady Hatt, and Sir Topham Hatt teach viewers about the value of home and friendship in "Sir Topham Hatt's Holiday," and a music video, "Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining," stresses the importance of goals, learning from mistakes, and the power of a smile. After 37 thrilling minutes of six episodes and a music video, Thomas & Friends devotees will be clamoring for more. (Ages 3 and older) --Tami Horiuchi

5.0 out of 5 stars THE THIRD TIME'S A CHARM!, February 28, 2000

Rare Reviewer - See all my reviews

This review is from: Thomas and Friends - Spills and Chills and Other Thomas Thrills [VHS] (VHS Tape)

After three attempts, Alec Baldwin, the narrator has put some life into the characters that was missing from his earlier efforts on "Cranky Bugs" and "Races and Rescues." As the editorial review suggests, this video is scarier and more suspenseful than earlier Thomas stories, so I don't consider it suitable for children under 5. "Spills and Chills" introduces a new character, Boulder, a big round rock with a pouty face that is probably the most clever Thomas character yet. "Spills and Chills and Other Thomas Thrills" would be a fine addition to your Thomas video library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spills and Chills and Other Thomas Thrills, November 16, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Thomas and Friends - Spills and Chills and Other Thomas Thrills [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Thid is a good video. In this video, Alec Baldwin does a wonderful variety of voices. Even though some moments are sort of scary, it is a good video.
The story stops are:
Toby's Discovery
Rusty and the Boulder
Duncan Gets Spooked
Stepney Gets Lost
Haunted Henry
Sir Topham Hatt's Holiday
The Music Video:"Every Cloud has a Silver Lining"

5.0 out of 5 stars For Thomas Lovers, April 8, 2003

This review is from: Thomas and Friends - Spills and Chills and Other Thomas Thrills (DVD)

I owned the video, and after it wore out I bought the DVD. My 5 and 2 year old kids love Thomas, especially the 2 year old. Kids with imagination will love these stories. Alec Baldwin does a great job narrating, and the primitive graphics allow the kids brains to bring the characters to life. If your kid is a whimp, sit with him when watching the Boulder episode, 2nd time thru they'll be OK.
