 Great DVD!Jul 06, 2002
By S. Pover
While I echo the complaints about the looooong commercials at the beginning of the DVD, I have to say that this is a wonderful DVD. I bought it for my 2-yr old on a whim, as Thomas is not shown on TV in my area. From the moment he first saw it, all he said was, "Again! Tom-Tom again!" He loves the beautiful colors, which are so vivid on DVD, as well as the sing-alongs. He even enjoys the slightly scary story about Percy and the Dragon and delights in how mean the freight cars are to the engines. As a parent, I am really pleased with the message of the stories: unlike most other children's fare out there, none of the characters are all good or all bad; each has his own little quirks and different personality, as is the case in real life. I love that Thomas is not a goody-goody like a certain purple dinosaur we all know -- Thomas makes mistakes, suffers the consequences, and ends up okay in the end. I also thought that George Carlin did a very nice job of narrating the stories; his voice conveys the proper amount of excitement or emotion at the appropriate times, which really holds my son's attention. I also love the fact that there are other features to the DVD, such as games and a storybook, that will continue to interest my son as he grows older. We've had the DVD for a few months now, and my son shows NO sign of getting tired of it. It is a great DVD to introduce your kids to.

 Enough of the commercials!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Nov 12, 2001
By Grieb
I bought the DVD version and I have to have my child sit through a five minute long boring commercial EVERY TIME we watch the video. I was upset that the skip, fast foward and menu options were disabled during this commercial. I took it back and bought VHS.

WARNING: read this before you buyOct 23, 2005
By Example: Mark Twain
The DVD has a terrible amount of advertising that you're forced to watch before you can see any of the Thomas stories. It's advertising other Thomas products, so it's actually interesting the first time through. But you'll be forced to watch the advertising EVERY time you play this. Other DVDs are programmed so you can jump straight to the menu and skip the advertising. Not this one.
Once you run the advertising gauntlet and earn the right to watch videos, they're excellent as always. But given that all the Thomas collections are excellent, you should buy something other than this one.

Excellent in this seriesSep 20, 2001
By A. Hogan
Thomas the Tank Engine is a series based on childrens stories written by an English clergyman,W. Awdry. The engines all get into various troubles, and are all helped out by other engines{Thomas, James ,Gordon, Percy, Henry, Edward, Stepney,Rheneas are among some of the engines} and a lesoon is GENTLY shown, with a light deft touch. There are 8 stories on this DVD, 4 of the sing-along songs that are the coda on the VHS tapes,3 DVD games{What Number am I,What color Am I, you choose a color paint for each engine that matches,and Which engine am I} There are stoires{or biographies} of each engine,telling their stories as they come out of their sheds. This is a very good childrens DVD, the sound is superior to the tapes,and my 2 year old loved,loved, the coloring games . Thomas the Tank engine is a gentle sweet childrens series that seems to work best with little children. Excellent, and at a similar price to the VHS, a good deal to boot.VERY WELL DONE.

 Thomas fans, rejoice!Nov 06, 2004
By Cumulonimbus Harpe
"samsmylife"
Here is Best of Thomas. Now the stories on here are good but there were alot more out there that should've been one this video. Let me start by saying that they didn't put one of the greatest stories of all time on here, Thomas Comes To Breakfast. That one was a perfect Thomas episode. Other ones that should have been on here include Thomas Gets Tricked, Trust Thomas, Thomas and Bertie's Great Race, Thomas Goes Fishing, Double Trouble, Better Late Than Ever, The Runaway, I could go on for ever but I'm sure you get my point. Thomas & Stepney and A New Friend For Thomas should not have been on here because Thomas is not the main character in both of these even though the title might have his name in it. I had to give this one 4 stars because of the numurous amount of Thomas stories that could have been on here and weren't. A part 2 of Best of Thomas might be needed. Anyway, this is a great video to buy because it does have some great Thomas moments. Here are the stories: Thomas Gets Bumped, A New Friend For Thomas, Thomas Percy and the dragon, Thomas Saves The Day, Trouble For Thomas, Thomas & Stepney, A Big Day For Thomas, Thomas Meets The Queen, and the music video "Really Useful Engine". And that wrapps up my review for Best of Thomas, hope it was helpful for you. :)
