Thomas the Tank Engine is a very lovable character. Which Thomas fan wouldn't love Thomas? This is a very wonderful video. It contains the stories: Thomas Gets Bumped, A New Friend for Thomas, Thomas, Percy, & the Dragon, Thomas Saves the Day, Trouble for Thomas, Thomas & Stepney, A Big Day for Thomas, Thomas Meets the Queen, and Really Useful Engine (music video). My favorite story is Thomas Meets the Queen. The video is told by George Carlin. If your child loves Thomas (himself), then he'll love this video.

I own a number of DVDs for my two year old and this is the worse one I've seen by far. In addition to the menu problems mentioned in other reviews (and please quit telling us we can skip the ads with the "menu" or "fast forward" button because we don't all own the same DVD player as you), the quality of this DVD is just poor. It looks like someone just spliced segments together with no regard for the end product. I did not sit through the whole thing, but the first two segments I watched had the audio clipped at the beginning and end in a very noticeable fashion. This would have been easily caught before production if someone had taken the time to watch what they created. I've been buying/renting DVDs for five years now and the only DVD I've seen that's worse than this is the notorious Highlander DVD. If your toddler isn't a Thomas fan, buy something else from Baby Einstein or Sesame Street and you'll be much happier with it.

I suppose this video is good but its missing the episode that put Thomas on the map, "Thomas Gets Tricked" or "Thomas and Gordon" in the UK.

This DVD is good value with a PC game and interactive DVD games you can play on the TV included. I was surprised and disappointed that all the classic Thomas stories were all re-narrated (no Ringo Starr on this one!). This seems to be common practice at the moment and it really annoys me (they do it to the original British Bob the Builder and all the characters too!). By the way, I am NOT British, I just like the idea of my kids being exposed to other cultures. Also I don't know if it's just my imagination but it also seems to play fast (maybe because of the PAL (British) - NTSC (US) conversion?) and I think this is the same reason the quality is not perfect. Having said this, the best critic is my son, and he loves it so I still highly recommend it.
Oh, for everyone that is complaining (and rightly so) about the 5-minute adds, just hit STOP after the auto start and then MENU on your DVD player - it works for me and jumps straight to the menu screen. Hope this helps!
