THOMAS and the Magic Railroad

This was an excellent movie for children of all ages!
We enjoyed it tremendously. Alec Baldin was excellent.

What is with the 1 stars on this movie???

My 19 month old loves this movie. We have watched it over 100 times. I bought another Thomas the Train dvd and my son didn't make it through the first 2 minutes. This has real trains in it, plus actual people in it. I like watching this better than all the Elmo movies!! November 16, 2008

Why on earth does he like it?

OK, I am a huge Thomas fan. (So is my 3-year-old son, but I am the one writing.) I had heard this was a horrid movie, but we were going on a long trip and I had to get a new movie for him to watch. He spotted this and there was no convincing him otherwise.

It's as if they all took acid when they put this together. I agree - the plot is hard to follow and the acting, well, STINKS! Peter Fonda looks as if he took Valium the whole time. Perhaps he did - it might have made it more bearable for him.

I will say this - my son loves watching this, but I am convinced his taste is suspended in order to enjoy the temporary "demise" of Diesel 10. If not, I have no hope for his future in the creative arts.

Buy the new Thomas movie. It's not great, but at least it's close to what we all know and love. If you are forced to watch this one, you might want a beer or two handy( - and a designated parent within earshot.) November 5, 2008

stop being so critical! the kids seem to love it..

I just think it's so funny that most of the people that gave this movie a bad review are basing it on their own criticsm and point of view. Hey, try looking at it from the kids' perspective and as long as they like it your opinions are null. October 8, 2008

1 year old LOVES it

My son is 13 mos and LOVES this movie. Yes Peter Fonda's acting makes me laugh but the movie is golden simply for the fact that my son can watch it over and over again and keep him entertained. Anyone who thinks the plot is hard to follow is joking because my son at 13 mos follows it and even claps at the parts when Thomas saves the day. The songs are sweet and it's a nice feel good movie for the whole family. Alec Baldwin is a hilarious straight man to his free spirited cousin. They actually make the movie tolerable for the adults who have to sit through it. September 8, 2008
