This review is from: Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends - Thomas and His Friends Help Out (DVD)

My 3 yr. old son and I watch this DVD quite a bit. I try to limit him to 3 stories a day (they are about 5 minutes long each) but I sometimes enjoy them so much that we watch a few extra.

I was a little surprised at some of the language in the stories at first (although "shut-up" is only said once, in the Donald and Douglas story) but then realized that the way the engines talk to each other, and the situations they find themselves in, is not so much different from what my son experiences with his friends. I'm sure that's why he loves it so much. He relates to them and is fascinated with the predicaments they get into.

I watch them with him and we talk about it. When Donald pushes the Brake Van, we talk about how it's okay to be mad, but not okay to push. The same with "shut-up"--how it's probably not the best way to express your anger--it's better to tell the person more specifically about what is bothering you.

I think some of our most interesting conversations have come out of watching these stories. And I love it that when someone is mad, my son says they are "cross".

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful DVD from Thomas the Tank Engine!, July 5, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends - Thomas and His Friends Help Out (DVD)

I LOVE Thomas the Tank Engine! I even have a few on video and DVD. This is a fun DVD! I enjoy watching the commercial at the beginning and can't believe the menu at the front! It's AWESOME!!!!!!

There are eleven different stories on this DVD. This movie is 47 minutes long, but it's a great experience for kids. As a matter of fact, I remenber when Thomas, Percy, Harry and Terrance helped give the villagers a Happy Thanksgiving!

There is a character gallary featuring info about Thomas, Percy, James, Bertiey, Harry the helicopter, Henry, Gorden, Toby, etc.

I hope you will enjoy this DVD as much as I do!
