COLLECTOR'S EDITION DVDs ARE THE BEST TRACK TO TAKE TO SODOR!, August 31, 2006
This review is from: Thomas The Tank Engine: And Friends: Best Of Gordon (DVD)
IN A NUTSHELL:
In this 'Collector's Edition DVD' there is alot to see and hear.
First off, there are 9 stories rather the usual 6, and from a host of narrators including; Ringo Starr, Michael Angelis, George Carlin, Alec Baldwin, Michael Brandon. For sentimental reasons I always enjoy any story that Ringo narrates, but on this DVD they are all quite well done.
Secondly, there are many nice bonus features which in total equal 1 hour's worth and a neat talking menu to introduce the DVD. Inside the DVD case you will find an neat booklet which shows Gordon the tank engine and illustrates how he functions. You'll also find some promo info about the 'Day Out With Thomas' program and directions for how to use the DVD menu and a description of what each bonus feature offers plus a list of the stories.
--*-- THE 9 STORIES INCLUDED ARE:
1]- 'GORDON TAKES A DIP'

6]- 'THE TROUBLE WITH MUD'
7]- 'TENDER ENGINES'

They should've waited longer to release this one, February 14, 2004
This review is from: Thomas The Tank Engine: And Friends: Best Of Gordon (DVD)
The point with my title is that some of these episodes don't excalty have Gordon as the main character. I thought Gordon and the Gremlin stunk and they should've held off on this one until more Gordon episodes were released. Some of these episodes were good but I really didn't think the episodes were that good. I wish they'd make a best of Toby or a best of Henry but I guess i'd probably be saying the same thing. Gordon's a good character but nowaday's he says i'm a big blue engine who knows everything. These new tapes should be more like the old ones when the engines weren't so self conceited. I should've given this one 3 stars but I like Gordon a lot to do that.
