 We own 8 and its the best thus far!!!!!! LOVED IT!! August 17, 2010
David Gingras (Ronan,MT)
I took the time to read reviews before buying this because it seems quite a few movies overlap same stories and songs. Like we bought Thomas' Christmas Story last year and bought The Snowy Surprise this year only to find out their is only one new story just repackaged. Very dissappointing to a 3 year old who thinks he has a new movie and knows as soon as it starts he has watched this one already before. Very hard to explain! With that said, we own about 8 of these and this one is by far the best!!! I can't stress that enough. Two new songs we haven't heard before and video of movie with the songs after. My three year old ask me to dance with him everytime the main song comes on. HE ABSOLUTELY LOVES this one the most. Lots of action and a great storyline as well. I saved my highest Atttt for Pierce Brosnan. It is obvious he is a dad of 5. FANTASTIC JOB!!!!! My favorite narrarator BY FAR.

The beloved Thomas the tank engine and friends are at their best in this movie. Kids--and even some adults will enjoy it.
great story May 19, 2010

Loved the story! Entertaining to both the little ones and adults. I don't mind watching it over and over again with my 3 yr old son.
 Meh! May 11, 2010

My 3 year old loves anything Thomas. Toys, movies, whatever has Thomas. So if you have an obsessed kiddo - they will most likely love it too! I don't particulary care for Pierce Brosnan's narrating. My first son grew up with Ringo & Carlin - maybe I'm just biased!

After watching all of the previews on the other Thomas DVDs, my wife told me to buy this one for our 2-year old. He is Thomas crazy, and will even watch the older Thomas episodes with Carlin and Baldwin as narrators.
Well, The Great Discovery held his attention for about 15 minutes, then he walked out. I can't say I blame him, really. I was dissappointed, to say the least.
First, Pierce Brosnan. He's a great Bond, but a lousy narrator. After listening to him, my wife said, "It sounds like he's being forced to do it." In my opinion, he tried too hard to make it work. Sadly, it didn't.
Some parts of the movie were just downright phony. An engine falling into the water and doesn't sink? An engine flying across a chasm? Oh, and just happens to skid to a halt next to a railroad track? (How convenient!)
The plot worked, although it did get a bit mushy in places. Sir Topham Hatt declaring an island-wide State of Emergency after Thomas disappears? That's a bit overboard.
I did like the minature work the producers did on Great Waterton. The models were very impressive. The new engine Stanley is a good addition. The other engines are marking time. Jeremy the Jet makes a cameo. Personally, I think the producers were just cranking out one last Thomas in minature until they perfected their CGI.
I could do without the Rap version of the Thomas theme song. The last thing we need gangsterized is Thomas and Friends.
Give 2-year olds credit. They know what's good. Unfortunately, this DVD now makes a great bookend.
Save your money. Buy "Hero of the Rails" instead.
