So glad we added this set to our collection!.......2007-07-31
I just got this for my 5 yr old son, and not only does he love it but his 3 yr old sister as well. We already had a VHS version of Better Late Than Never which was used (from my neighbor). So I already knew how much better Ringo Starr's narration is than George Carlin and Alec Baldwin. This set is great! 13 episodes on the first two disks. The sound and video quality is great. Just wish I could get more of these older stories with Ringo on DVD.
Move Over Wiggles............2007-06-27
A year ago the Wiggles' movie 'Cold Spaghetti Western' was played every day at my house. Now it's all about Thomas. My 3 1/2 year old just loves it. And, just like the Wiggles' movie, I love it too. These DVDs of the 1st season with Ringo Starr as the narrator are the best. There's a continuing storyline that runs from one episode to the next that you miss watching this on TV. The DVD's also all start playing again on their own which is great for super long car rides with handy car dvd players.
I would buy this again in a second.
The Early Years, the Best Years.......2007-05-02
This is clearly the best collection of the best stories from the series. They are taken directly from the original stories, and Ringo Starr is an excellent storyteller for them. (When I read the original stories to my three year old, I now use Ringo's inflections!)
My only complaint is that these DVDs are SHORT! Sure, they brag to collect 26 stories, but the stories are about five minutes each! I see no reason to spread about two hours of content out over two DVDs!
That complaint out of the way, this set is true to the spirit of the original stories, capturing their charm. (If you can't tell, I recommend getting the original stories too, and read them at bedtime. To your child, that is, although you'll enjoy them too!)
Excellent.......2007-04-14
My kids love Thomas and this DVD set did not disappoint. get it now.
Ringo Starr!!!!.......2007-03-02
Ringo is the narrator. I cannot believe the George Carlin was ever allowed or asked to narrate a children's' series. I am glad that I finally found a set where Ringo does.
Too much repeating of dialogue!
After about a month I have found that about half of each episode is just repeated lines.
Thomas said, "Oh no I cant stop! Oh no I cant stop."
The trucks chuckled, "This is fun! This is fun."
The fat controller said, "Thomas a useful engine could stop. A useful engine could stop."
You get the idea...

WE LOVE THOMAS MOVIES!!!!.......2006-03-27
My son, almost 4, watches these over and over. He knows them all by heart. Percy's Chocolate Crunch is his favorite. They really give him story ideas for his make believe play with his trains... Buying the set saved some $$$$, always a good thing, especially when you must pay so much for the actual wooden Thomas toys - but oh so worth every penny....
