Thomas and Friends Engines and Escapades

I have to admit that my older son has never really been into Thomas. Yes, he enjoys playing with trains but in terms of identifying characters or watching the DVDs, they aren't that big of a deal for him. With my younger son though, it's a different story. He really enjoys Thomas trains. While he doesn't identify most of them by name since he's still pretty little, he does identify them by color. I give you this background so that you'll know where we were at when we reviewed this video.

I wanted to review Thomas and Friends Engines and Escapades for the Parent Bloggers Network because based on YS's enjoyment of the Thomas characters I thought he would like it. I was right. I have to admit though that some of the big excitement that other reviewers gained from reviewing this DVD was lost on us. Why would that be? Because a new character was introduced! Madge is the new character in this DVD. She is a strong female character which is always nice to see!

This DVD is contains 6 episodes. The DVD, like other Thomas DVDs we've seen, focuses on working together. There also were a couple of songs with the lyrics on the screen. Although this DVD did not feature Thomas as much as some of the other DVDs, the other trains had an opportunity to learn the importance of finishing their own responsibilities, listening to the advice of others, and generally respecting each other.

This DVD is very cute. If you have a Thomas fan in your family, I would recommend it. It's available at amazon.com for $9.99.
