4 out of 5 stars My toddler son LOVES this movie...   January 14, 2010
pearleyed (Oklahoma)
If you don't like the CGI versions, skip this. However, my 2-y/o loves every incarnation of Thomas the Tank engine he's ever laid eyes on, CGI or no, so no regrets re: this purchase. I myself prefer the pre-CGI episodes narrated by George Carlin, but I didn't buy this for me, ha! Though it ain't Pixar, the movie's CGI quality is above-average compared to CGI used in many kids' TV shows. The colors are nice. This movie still has the familiar narration of Michael Brandon; however, the characters are voiced by other individuals, which in my opinion, is a very welcome change. Mr. Brandon is not very consistent in how he voices the characters on the show, which annoys me. Also, it's nice to hear the female characters speak with a feminine voice for a change!

In addition to Hero, there are two other new characters who work at the Sodor Steamworks, Victor and Kevin. Kevin doesn't really add much to the storyline, but Victor is a nice addition to the franchise. It's not the strongest of stories, but in my opinion there isn't anything disagreeable or offensive for my toddler, so I would say it's a worthwhile purchase if your little one is a die-hard fan.



5 out of 5 stars Nice Video   January 12, 2010

I purchased this video for my nephew for Christmas. He loves Thomas. This is one of his favorites. He is 4 years old.
Works great and comes in shrink wrapped package in great condition. Good Value.

5 out of 5 stars Toddlers of all ages will enjoy   January 1, 2010
CC (NJ)
My 28 month boys, absolutely love Hero of the Rails and are constantly asking for Hiro. The plot may be much for a toddler but they still enjoy the viewing, kept their attention all the way through. They were excited when they saw I bought the DVD. I hope the creators of Thomas stick with some of their older model shot series as well as creating more cartoon quality series. It is nice to see the original versions still.
