Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Thomas and his train-yard pals wouldn't pout if Christmases on the Island of Sodor were a little less white. In each of the six story stops that make up Thomas' Christmas Wonderland, snow stalls or otherwise threatens to sabotage the perky cargo pullers' holiday plans. Everybody's stuck in Snow, a new story narrated by Alec Baldwin, so Rusty lifts his fellow locomotives' spirits by relating the tale of the year Skarloey was sidelined by an avalanche. In "Thomas & the Missing Christmas Tree," Thomas is enlisted to pick up the village tree when severe snowdrifts leave him stranded on a remote stretch of track. The title character in the "Terence the Tractor" segment teaches a teary-eyed Thomas a thing or two about how his "ugly" Caterpillar wheels come in handy when the uncharacteristically arrogant engine sets off without his snowplow. And in "Special Funnel," Peter Sam is relieved of the other engines' constant ribbing when he's rewarded with a deluxe-model funnel after a monster icicle snaps his formerly wobbly one off. Rounding out this festive feature is "The Snow Song," a musical chug through decked-out village station stops that celebrates the title character's pluck: the little blue train finds his way "Whistle blowing / Yes, it's snowing." Fans of the series ought to waste no time climbing aboard, and newcomers will be relieved to discover a well-rounded introduction to a range of train-yard friends. Ages 3 to 6. --Tammy La Gorce

5.0 out of 5 stars Christmas At The Island of Sodor, November 30, 2004
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I bought this DVD 2 years ago, and my son really enjoys it. We didn't have any holiday episodes on his other videos, so this was all new to him.

The storyteller is George Carlin and features these stories:

*Snow
*Thomas' Christmas Party
*Thomas and the Missing Christmas Tree
*Terence the Tractor
*Thomas and Percy's Christmas Adventure
*Special Funnel

The bonus features are:

*Thomas and the Missing Christmas Tree Read Along Story (I often put this on repeat since the story is so short. My son really enjoys it.)
*Connect-the-dots Christmas gaem
*Bios of the characters
*The Snow Song sing-along
*Links to a website
*Bonus CD sampler (very short)

The run-time is about 42 minutes for everything.

My son doesn't play the games, but he enjoys the read-along-story and episodes.

This is a good holiday DVD for fans of Thomas and friends, in my opinion, but if you own the other holiday stories (except for "Snow"), you may not find much new in this DVD.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little engines covered with snow in a winter wonderland, December 9, 2000
This is another great children's film in the Thomas series. The title is a little misleading because the stories don't have a lot to do with Christmas, although there are allusions to the holidays throughout. It has more to do with winter, and more specifically snow.

The little engines have to deal with snowdrifts and avalanches, and in typical fashion, they are frequently buried by snow and crash into it with frowns and rolling eyes. The sets are beautifully decorated for winter and the snow looks very realistic. The narration by Alec Baldwin and George Carlin (now that's an interesting pair) is first rate.

This is a wonderful addition to your child's Thomas collection. If he/she doesn't have a Thomas collection, it is a good place to start.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ease into the Thomas Series with this video, January 27, 2001
By J. Katz (Virginia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you have a child who is easily frightened by anything even remotely scary, this a good choice. The video is composed of about 5-6 short stories, none of which rises to the level of scary (which is not the case with many of the other Thomas videos).

The theme here is snow, snow, snow. There are brief allusions to Christmas, but probably don't total more than 2 minutes of the 34 minutes of running time.

For my kids, this is the most popular Thomas video. I can't begin to estimate how many times they have watched it. They particularly like singing to the "music video" that concludes the tape.

We have five Thomas videos, this is by far my 3 and 4 year-olds' favorite.
