Thomas & Friends: The Greatest Stories (Two-Disc Special Edition)

My 2 year old rates this video as "Dugga Digga", which means, loosely translated as, "Put this show on now as it is my favorite." When asked which show he would like to stream from his tablet, he invariable chooses Thomas the Train Engine, over other similar choices. I have found that there are times when I enjoy watching Thomas with him. This collection of Thomas stories is fun-watching with my son. I have found that although simple tales are being told, the message is still there. Not only does my 2 year old like watching Thomas and his friends, but my 15 year old also enjoys watching with him. Good wholesome fun. I wish there was Thomas around when I was a kid.

My two year old son just ADORES Thomas and this DVD was not a disappointment. It's got 20 episodes of Thomas' greatest hits, including episodes I remember from when my oldest (now 14) was a little guy. It'll keep your little Thomas fan enthralled for long enough that mom can take a few deep breaths and relax for a few moments; and my little guy jumps up and down at Thomas' facial expressions, which used to creep me out (the faces, not my son lol) but kids seem to respond to them. He just loves this DVD and that means I do too!

I always loved Thomas and Friends when I was growing up. My dad and I used to sit and watch the ones narrated by Ringo Starr for hours. Now, my nephew is three years old and loves trains, especially Thomas! It's so fun and nostalgic to sit with him and watch these stories. Even though they are new and are more animated than the originals, they still have the same feel to them. Thomas teaches kids life lessons such as "don't be selfish" or "don't be afraid to admit mistakes." It's a lot of fun, and I highly recommend it to anyone with a child in your life (especially if that child loves trains as much as my nephew!).

Good compilation of the Thomas short stories! The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is, ALL the COMMERCIALS for other video's prior, that I am not interested in!!... But MOSTLY, that the DVD will not allow you to forego them, and go straight to the Thomas stories! That pisses me off. When I BUY something, I should not be forced to watch commercials prior to what I purchased! They should at least place the commercials at the END of the Video, and give you the option to watch them, or not!!! I would not mind that. I would even be compelled to watch them, once the video was OVER! It's no fun to have an impatient 3 year old yelling for Thomas, while your trying to get past 20 commercials!

This has old episodes (models filmed and 1 voice doing all characters) not the current editions of thomas (full animations and multiple voices).The good: It has lots of episodes which helped while we were on vacation for a week with our toddlers who have to have thomas and friends on constantly. Also, it has an auto play function that allows for all the episodes to repeat without controlling.The bad: the quality of the episodes are poor and the voice over isn't great.It worked for what we wanted while we didn't have wifi to access prime video, but I left it at the resort.

My little one loves watching this on our Prime account. He will watch it until it goes off. I personally like the older ones better than the newer ones, where they show the actual toys, and so does our 3 year old. He watches them with his wooden trains, so I guess he relates more to these older episodes.

My 2 yr old and the 1 yr old both are in love with this collection. They just love thomas or "choo-choo" as they call it. They love to watch the trains moving and the soothing sounds of the narrator has them calmly sitting through the show. The only problem we have is when its time to turn it off. The delivery of the item was faster than I expected. If you need a Thomas dvd, This is the one. Trust me your kids and even you will love it.

I purchased Thomas and Friends Greatest stories for my nephew and my son. They are both big Thomas fans and really enjoy watching the dvd. This dvd is great for children who are just being introduced to Thomas as well. It contains several of the most popular episodes. I would recommend the dvd for any young train fan.

This is a great starter DVD for those just starting their Thomas collection. I am a little surprised by some of the episodes that were included as "Greatest Stories", but overall you get a nice variety and an introduction to all the primary and many secondary characters. My son also enjoys the music videos found in the bonus material.I would recommend this product.
