Absolutely Brilliant!

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Thomas, Edward, James, Gordon, Percy, Henry and Toby -- plus Emily, the first female steam engine -- all report to Sodor Railway director Sir Topham Hatt. Living on the imaginary island of Sodor, these friendly tank engines practice good manners and know the value of hard work. Each show closes with a musical finale.

Unfortunately, this show makes me fall asleep. Even when I was very young, I found it more boring than any other show. Usually I have a liking to shows for a younger audience, but every episode is almost the same in this show.Whenever I watched Thomas, all I heard was "Then there was trouble!", "You have caused confusion and delay", and "You are a really useful engine". The plot is way too predictable and I get tired of the narrator saying these three phrases in every episode. He also talks way too slowly.I do like the concept of talking trains and the scenery looks nice, but I do not think this stands out from any other kids' shows. It teaches nothing and is neither funny nor suspenseful. I have to say the CGI show is pretty impressive; I like how the characters actually have their own voices, and it's nice to see more movement rather than bland photos and non-moving face expressions.It's fine if other people like this show, but based on my personal opinions even when I was young, this is a bad show.

I used to be a fan of this show growing up. It has since gotten ridiculous ever since Series 7 started. The episodes before it were good and and worth watching. But we should be glad that the original writer of the books never lived to see how horrible the series became. There were a lot of good episodes near the beginning, even some after they stopped using the books as a source. But I can't watch the series anymore without wondering why the writers behind it still have a job in the television industry. There was a least some since of realism to the show before it became CGI. Unfortunately, they have since ruined the show and my childhood would be dumb if I were raised on the series as it is made today. It still gets half my vote as a good TV show, but the other half has been ruined by what the show has become.

Wow! This is a really cute, fun, and entertaining show. I said that because I watch this on Nickelodeon and the Noggin network with my 2½-year-old nephew from time to time. It's hard to say which show on Nickelodeon and the Noggin network is the best. If I had to pick, this would definitely be one of the cutest. Still it's really cute, fun, entertaining, and educational. Also, it's hard to say which episode is my favorite. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that the people at Nickelodeon and the Noggin network really know how to reach a toddler's developing mind. Now, in conclusion, if you have children, nieces, or nephews, I strongly recommend this really cute, fun, and entertaining. I guarantee you that they will enjoy it.
