Thomas & Friends: The Great Race [Movie] [DVD]

The best Thomas movie yet. Great storyline, good message and really fun, catchy tunes (our personal favourite is Diesel's "Full of Surprises". My son really loves this film and since we got it at Christmas, it has been watched most days. My personal favourite moment is a little feminist nod, when Ashima points out that, "Just because we are well painted, doesn't mean we can't do anything else." Really recommend for any Thomas fan.

Great movie! Lovely to see a fair bit of diversity positively introduced in terms of new characters, plus an uplifting story line - about the importance of self-belief and self-worth. We saw this with my five children aged 2-11 at the cinema, and loved it so much we ordered the DVD. the soundtrack is memorable and a real strong point. Highly recommended.

This was one of greatest Thomas films I have seen. Seeing it as a musical is funny. The first song was funny as it made me laugh. The Flying Scotsman came back after a little appearance on Season 3 episodes Tender Engines. But what's best is the whole film. I look forward to the next film in 2017. ☺

I love the Thomas films and series! I loved the originals when I was young but the new ones are brilliant! You can sing along and really get into them. They have more facial features so you can see their personality and they just get better!

My son is thomas mad, he has toys, clothes and loads of dvds. I bought this to add to his collection of dvds. My son thinks this is a great film and has enjoyed watching it. It has all of the usual trains in it and some have had a make over.

All good

Good intro to little ones to Thomas the Tank Engine. Lots of nice songs - more of a musical movie.

The songs and quirkiness of this film make it a firm favourite and there's a few more jokes in this one for older children and grown ups making it a little more enjoyable to watch than some of the others. Our 3 year old finds parts of this hillarious, as did we on the first viewing. The novelty has worn off now we've seen it a gazillion times but little one is kept thoroughly entertained for the duration which is always nice!

My 2 year old son, loves this film. His two favourite characters are Gordon and Diesel 10. Lovely songs and new characters, especially the beautifully painted Ashima locomotive from India and her song, that she sings to Thomas is wonderful. There are lots of trains coming together from all over the world to take part in a series of competitions; shunting challenges, racing, pulling heavy loads,a train style beauty contest (I think that is what it was..) and of course the Sodor trains are included. It is fun watching all the trains try to convince the Fat Controller, they should be part of the show. This is another lovely Thomas and Friends film and at around 1 hr 20 mins long, if your child loves Thomas, then this is one you should absolutely add to your collection (you do have more than one, right? ;) I do think that the theme around competition is wrong. All the Sodor trains seemed so depressed or scared about losing except Thomas (who, as always, focuses only on doing his best and being really useful) and Gordon (who, I think just seems to have a firm belief that he is destined to win) But I think there could have been more said about doing your best and having fun. Perhaps, instead of The Fat controller looking so embarrassed or disappointed, he could have been the character in this story, to do this, for his trains. I am not of the school of 'winning is all that matters'. Winning is great. But taking part and doing your best and having fun is also important. We might all have different opinions about this but in the general theme of a Thomas and Friends Video, this just seemed a little out of character. Sorry, had to get that off my chest. But otherwise, a lovely film

素晴らしい〜(^ ^) イギリスからですが発送が迅速で1週間かからず到着しました！ ケース割れてたけど（笑）この値段でこの早さは感動もの。 うちの日豪ハーフの子供達は基本的に英語でしかテレビや映画を観ないので日本の映画館では吹き替えしか上映してなくて困るんです。 とっても良いお買い物でした！ ちなみに日本語切り替えや日本語字幕はありませんのでご注意ください。
