Thomas & Friends 'Hero of the Rails' Review and Giveaway

The most talked about release this year is finally out! Thomas & Friends 'Hero of the Rails' Movie, the combined production venture of Hit Entertainment and Lionsgate production, was just released into the market on September 8 2009.

Finally your little Thomas fan can hear Thomas and his chugging pals talk. That's right...they actually talk!

The story opens with proud, boastful Spencer challenging little Thomas into a show of strength. The competition begins with gusto but near the end the race turns into a disaster for poor Thomas. "Cinders and Ashes", whatever will he do?

A mini adventure later leads Thomas to meet an old run down engine called Hiro, who's fate could mean scraps but Thomas decides to draw in help from his friends to revive his new friend's broken down engine. The project is anything but easy especially with the regular twists and turns any adventure will have.

Watch Thomas and his friends in action and get introduced to 3 new engines- Hiro, Victor and Kevin, in the process!

This dvd includes bonus features that include the Thomas & Spencer racing game, Who's pulling into the station game, a Thomas karaoke music video and a Thomas & Friends bedroom makeover.

(Thanks to Andrea Blain Public Relations we received this dvd to preview.)

  4. Of course Thomas is my son's favorite! We were in an airport waiting on a lay over and I stopped in a toy store with him. When I had to pull him away from the train set to catch our flight he was hysterical for hours! He watched Thomas every day after nap time at day care. Thanks!

  71. My Son,

    As small he is in age - only 3 - as big he is a fan of the Thomas characters.

    Thomas, ofcourse, is the most favorite one - but all others - James, Percy, Bill & Ben, Henry, Spencer, Salty, Toby, Cranky, Harold, Sir Topham Hatt, and..and..and.....the list keeps going.
    I cant watch any TV programs at home while he is awake as the Thomas always takes priority.
    So, though I know this DVD will add to the higher priority DVDs at home (than my programs/news channels), but atleast I will get to see some new video atleast.
    I need it!!!!
