 Wonderful story August 17, 2010
C. Trotter (Portland, OR)
My kids are huge Thomas fans and my 4-year-old son became a big fan of Hiro from the Thomas website. So as a surprise one day, I purchased this movie. The kids enjoyed it very much and it was full of good messages and themes. A nice, wholesome movie for small children!

Don't buy this video if you hate having to watch 10 minutes of commercials every time you watch the video. The movie is ok, my son seems to like it, but I prefer the older model Thomas videos.
A wonderful connection with kids! July 2, 2010
Lorinda S. Baldwin (Cleveland, Ohio)
Thomas is everywhere! We live and breathe him in our home. My 5 year old grandson, who is mildly autistic, finds great comfort in the characters of Thomas and his friends and we have endless conversations about the stories on DVD. Hero of the Rails is a particularly good moral tale about doing good things and including the old and forgotten. Among our many books and movies, this one is right at the top.
Modern, childlike take on Island of Doctor Moreau June 3, 2010
M. Elliott (Nashville, TN)
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
Set on a secluded island in unknown waters, a mysterious man known only as "Top'em Hat" has created a macabre genetic experiment on a massive scale. Fusing the DNA of humans with machines, he has created living monstrosities that posses childlike qualities and force them into endless labor, used as tools in constructing Top'em Hat's utopic vision of a civilization based on illusion and industry.
Son loved it! May 13, 2010

I agree with all the 4 and 5 star reveiws here. Our son loves it. The CGI makes for much better facial expressions, of course. I'm not sure if for 2 to 5 year old kids, this really matters though. Our 5yo son called me the first time he watched this movie to come watch it with him. He wanted to show me how Thomas was "speaking". So it certainly got his attention, and he was exited about it. But he still also enjoy his other Thomas dvd (without CGI). He has Thomas & Friends: Calling All Engines! and I hear/read ......Thomas & Friends: The Great Discovery is great too. But lately he's a lot in the pirate theme, so he's watching Playmobil: The Secret of Pirate Islanda lot.
