5/5 My Preschool Class Loves this movie
  by Glenn (California)
I bought this movie for my 3 year old son. At first he was not happy about "talking thomas" and wanted to watch an old Thomas movie. The next day he asked to watch "talking thomas" and enjoys watching it every time now.
I am also a preschool teacher, and for a special treat on Fridays we watch a movie. I brought in this movie to watch, every single boy I have LOVED it and always ask me if we can watch "Talking Thomas" for movie day.


5/5 Child DVD
  by Mary Ann Jones
This is a full movie, hard for the little one to sit through, but cute non the less

5/5 Loved the CGI animation!
  by BizzyBee (Nebraska)
Another wonderful Thomas DVD in new CGI animation format. It is wonderful to see Thomas talking and more expressive. My 2 1/2 yo son and I love to sit together and watch each story. I love when Rosie announces in one story "I'm driving the Carnival Special!" It also has a bonus Rory the Racing Car story and this one gets my son laughing up a storm with the helicopter lesson.

1/5 New "animation" ruins the atmosphere-hard for autistic kids
  by Mom, homeschooler, small business owner (Arlington, Ohio USA)
My son has loved Thomas since he was 2. He has mild autism. Kids love Thomas-not just for the characters-but because it is predictable in setting and style. Yet new stories make it fresh each time. The new animation makes their mouths move like Jay Jay the Jet Plane-not like Shrek. The original Thomas stories were grounded in music and a great narrator's voice telling the story. It is too bad they have once again "fixed" something that was not broken. I wish they would stop trying to take things over the top. Our kids don't need it. I agree with the other reviewer who gave it one star. My son got very upset and demanded that we turn it off. He now suspects every Thomas DVD I bring home and we have to make sure its the "old" Thomas. Too bad they sold Thomas to a bigger company. It will never be the same again.

5/5 A top choice for parents of young children
  by Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)
Thomas the Tank Engine is an icon of young children's entertainment, and he comes to the next generation of viewers with another set of adventures. "High Speed Adventures" is a collection of six stories for Thomas & Friends as they go about their lives on the island of Sodor. Encouraging sharing, cooperation, and 'steamwork', Thomas tells many stories while doing much to captivate young viewers and giving them much to enjoy as they learn good values. "High Speed Adventures" is a top choice for parents of young children who want to let their children enjoy what they enjoyed as children themselves.
