10 Years of Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends - Best Friends [VHS]

Despite the decline of train travel, that mode of transportation has fascinated both children and adults alike. The popular PBS series Thomas the Tank Engine thoroughly enraptures its young audience. The delightful 10 Years of Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends focuses on Thomas and his pals James, Percy, Old Iron, Bertis, Annie and Clarabelle, Terence, and more. The segments featured here ("Thomas & Bertie's Great Race," "Old Iron," "The Trouble with Mud," "Terence the Tractor," "Percy's Ghostly Trick," "Mavis," "Henry The Elephant," "Percy's Promise," "James Goes Buzz Buzz," "All at Sea") not only are colorful and fun, but offer subtle messages of loyalty, friendship, affection, and safety. Each of the mini-episodes is interspersed with commentary from actual Thomas fans, set at a vintage train-station event at which Thomas is at the top of the tracks. Entertaining and compelling for the youngest viewers as well as their parents. --N.F. Mendoza
