Thomas & Friends: The Greatest Stories DVD Review & {Giveaway} (CLOSED)




For 65 years that little blue engine has kept children's attention and entertained them. Thomas the Tank Engine is a widely loved character who reaches children of all ages.

The newly released Thomas & Friends: The Greatest Stories DVD is a special edition two disc DVD set for collectors, fans and everyone else. It contains 20 of the most loved episodes, even the very first episode of Thomas & Friends. And this set features some famous names for narrators like George Carlin, Ringo Starr, Alec Baldwin and Michael Brandon. It has many fun episodes plus extras like games, music videos and sing-a-longs. This DVD will satisfy the new Thomas the Tank Engine fans as well as the loyal collectors and lovers of Thomas.

From the publisher: "Special consideration was given to all of the stories selected for the DVD including newly remastered episodes, some of the most popular stories from the book series and the first introduction of Thomas' favorite friends, James, Percy and more! Featuring beautiful O-card packaging, the DVD release delivers on the core brand values of friendship and adventure!"

My little guy, Zachariah, had really come to love Thomas. We have so many of the Thomas & Friends DVDs. I know when he watches them that he's watching a quality show. He will sing and learn about friendship and helping others. That's just the Thomas way. He enjoys the stories and songs…and fun games at the ends too.

With Thomas & Friends: The Greatest Stories DVD
being a two-disc set, you can be sure it is packed full of episodes and other fun things. The episodes include: "Thomas Gets Tricked," "Edward Helps Out," "Diesel's Devious Deed," "Percy's Ghost Trick," "Thomas, Percy & the Dragon," "Trust Thomas," "Henry & the Elephant," "Cranky Bugs," "Snow Engine," "Thomas Saves the Day," "Edward the Great," "James Gets a New Coat," "Thomas to the Rescue," "Thomas and the Birthday Picnic," "Emily Knows Best," "Percy and the Carnival," "Thomas and the Birthday Mail," "Sir Handel in Charge," "Skarloey Storms Through," "Duncan Does It All."

This DVD is full of extra features like "Create Your Own Thomas Story" DVD-Rom where you can customize a story with your child's name. The "How Did Thomas Meet His Friends?" is a trivia game that describes Thomas' best engine friends. In the Storybook Adventures Game you get to help Thomas through Sodor with 5 challenge games- Broken Tracks Game, Quarry Game, Brendham Docks Game, Troublesome Trucks Game and Station Decoration Game. And there are also a read-along, sing-along videos, and music videos.
Thomas was a character created by a father for his son 65 years ago. And now I feel good about letting my on watch the wonderful stories about Thomas. My son enjoys the songs and fun adventures too.
