5.0 out of 5 stars Thomas and the Jet is something else; you got to get it., September 14, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends - Thomas and The Jet Engine (DVD)

I'm a 11-year old and just last week, my little brother got the new Thomas and Friends DVD "Thomas and the Jet Engine." I was glad that they got Alec Baldwin back, who narrated three stories, but in the next three, the new narrator Michael Brandon narrates. Both did a excellent job. The DVD includes six new stories, a new sing-along song, and new games and activities. Some of the new games are called Memory Madness, Counting corner, and What came first? My brother watched it over and over and over and over, which i was surprised by, like he was addicted to it. Anyways, about the stories. . . . .

Thomas and the Jet Engine: Gordon the Big, Blue Express engine boasts to Henry, James and Percy that he's Sodor Railway's fastest engine. But Thomas secretly wished to go as fast as Gordon. When Sir Topham Hatt told Thomas to collect a Jet Engine, Thomas does. But at Brendam Docks, when Thomas told Cranky to hurry up, Cranky got cranky and was careless with his hook and knocked the switch on the Jet Engine and Thomas was then in for the ride of his life.

Percy and the Haunted Mine: In the Springtime, the statiomasters had a contest for the most beautiful station on the Island. One evening when Sir Topham Hatt told Percy to get some flower bushes from Mathiwaite, Percy does. But he didn't want to cause the line passed the Haunted Mine. Percy had to stop there when the signal was red, but then saw the chimmney sink into the ground. Next day, he told Donald and Douglas and they said it was the work of the Naughty Gnomes. But later that evening, Sir Topham Hatt told Percy to get some freight cars from the mine. When Percy came to get the cars, he saw the building sink, and rammed the car and saw the Naughty Gnomes. But when he told Sir Topham Hatt. . . Well, why don't you find out for yourself?

Scardey Engines: On Halloween Night, Edward tells Gordon, Henry, James, Percy, Thomas and Duck spooky stories. But when Sir Topham Hatt told Thomas, Percy and Duck to collect some scrapmetal from the Smelters, Percy is frightinged and Thomas teases him for being a scardey engine. But later when the manager wants one engine to stay to finish up, Duck trciked Thomas to stay to get back at him for teasing Percy. But when Thomas was on his own, odd, spooky things and a old steam whistle frightinged Thomas, he raced away back to the sheds and Percy followed and both made up.

Harold and the Flying Horse: It's springtime and the Vicar's Garden Party (or Summer Fete its called) is in full swing. But Harold the Helicopter is stuck with patrol duty and wishes to help. But when Sir Topham Hatt told that Pegasus (a horse he incountered earlier in the story) is stuck in a ditch and need to get out.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Thomas movies, July 22, 2004

This review is from: Thomas The Tank Engine And Friends - Thomas and The Jet Engine (with Toy) [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I enjoyed this Thomas video very much. After seeing Steamies V.S. Desiels, I was hoping they would put this one back to normal and the did. The theme song is back to normal, the transitions are back to normal(so no more of those stupid activites), and they got the old director back. All of the stories on this video are good too(stories include:Thomas & the Jet Engine, Percy & the haunted mine, Scaredy engine, Harold & the flying horse, Bulgy rides again, and Salty stormy tale) Even the music video,"boo! boo! choo! choo!" is good. On a scale of one to ten, I'd give Thomas & the Jet Engine a 10
