Thomas Tank Engine 3 disc set September 30, 2005
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
The Percy's Chocolate Crunch video is a big hit with my grandson and with me. However, the other two are just okay. I still think the several disc sets are any easy way to start a Thomas collection or to get aquainted with the series, and this set does that well.

My 2 yr old son has just recently become a Thomas fan. I purchased a cheap tape at Kmart and he fell in love with it. Now we purchased this set and it's wonderful! The best part is that all three are narrated by Alec Baldwin, who in my opinion, is the best narrator! I have found that he does not like those narrated by others and refuses to even watch them. If you are considering buying this set...DO IT!
Great Stuff; What are the others talking about?! August 2, 2005

I'm not sure about the people who complained about these 3 DVDs. I think that the voice overs are great as are the stories. The only danger is that a lot of the stories on these discs are a bit more scary than some of the others I've seen. In one, a runaway boulder is chasing the engines down the line and in another Harry and Bert try to have one of the steam engines melted down. Other than that, I recommend these entirely. Maybe a little better for older toddlers.
 Lukewarm feelings on this one! October 18, 2004

I always preface my kid reviews by saying that my 2 year old approves of the content---there were some tense moments in spills and chills, but otherwise, my main issue is with Alec Baldwin....was it really necessary to make James (who used to be my favorite engine) sound like a big, whiny queen?? My brain is still scarred from his "OH HEEELLLP!!, Goooo Away!" and his "OH, PUHLEEZE!". Over and over I ask myself, "What happened to the days of Ringo Starr??? What happened to good narration? What happened to quality production?" As you can see, I'm probably asking myself too many questions!! :) Anyway, the stories have their good points, but the real downer is Alec Baldwin which is enormously disappointing to me because as an actor I find him to be quite good. Oh, and the previous gripe about the unskippable ads which seem to be more prevalent in Thomas DVDs is totally legit!! It is dreadful to have to sit through hyped up commercialism that most parents are trying to eliminate these days. If Disney did this, their stock would take a dive! Let's hope the dismal outcome is just in this collection!
 Content ok, annoying ads can't be skipped September 26, 2004

My son loves Thomas. He can operate the DVD player just fine. However, on these Thomas DVDs, there are 2-3 minutes of advertizing (Spam) for other DVDs before you can get to see the content. They can't be skipped although some players let you fast forward through them. This totally sucks. It's hard to explain to a small child that he'll have to wait. Although cheap for 3 dvds (~$25 at the time of writing), since this set only contains about 30 minutes of "actual content" on each disc, I find that I have paid in full and shouldn't be forced to sit through the spam. Again, the content is fine - it's just unbelievably rude that they don't let you skip the ads.
