If you're reading this, you must be a fan of Thomas (or know a little one).
This is the best Thomas DVD we've had, simply because it shows episodes from the pre-bandwagon days (including the very first episode). It's worth watching just to see how far the technology has come - on a more current DVD I've seen a seamless shift from one expression on a train to another, masked only by steam. On this DVD, the same effect was done by a jump cut, with several 'actors' appearing as if by magic. The new episodes lose a lot of their charm without such quirks, so I recommend you go for this one.
This is a collection of early Thomas episodes, all about 5 minutes long. Not nearly as good as some of the DVD's with longer episodes. They also suffer from the poor narration of Ringo Starr (c'mon ringo all the trains sound the same). Still my 2 year old loved them, hence the 3 star rating.
