### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Finally! A Complete Season release!
  

*by P***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 23, 2017*

This is definitely a must-have for any Thomas fan. This set contains the first season of Thomas & Friends, fully restored (there's a few mastering errors here and there, but nothing too noticable). It comes on three discs. The first two contain the episodes, while the third is designated for bonus features. Personally, I don't really care for the latter, but what's really nice is that the menu is deliberately designed after an Anchor Bay release, and I'm sure it will bring much nostalgia to anyone who grew up with them.However, there's one major problem that prevents this from getting a 5 star, and that is that it only contains the original Ringo Starr narration with no way to switch to the inferior George Carlin narration, or, at the very least, Ringo's US redubs. I've tolerated the inconsistent narrations on Thomas releases, but there's no reason for it here, especially when different audio tracks is one of the most basic things to put on DVDs.Overall, I definitely recommend this box set. There's definitely a reason it's sought after. Will there be another one like it? Who knows? But it's definitely a great release either way.

    Wooden Train Models + Ringo = Sharing My Childhood with My Son
  

*by A***D on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 30, 2013*

I lament the fact that Shining Time Station isn't available anywhere, but at least my son can see the Railway Series shorts narrated by Ringo Starr that I enjoyed so much as a kid!I'm not a fan of the all CGI Thomas & Friends that currently airs on PBSKids. They seem to have lost the fundamentally British feel in the storytelling, and have strayed far and wide from the tenor of the original books and early short films. The Thomas merchandising empire is also grating, and I'm quite annoyed to see Thomas referred to as "Thomas the Train" here and there and among parents--no! He's Thomas the TANK ENGINE. And furthermore, Thomas was but a part of the railway ensemble that made up Thomas and Friends. James, Edward, Percy, Gordon and Toby were often far more interesting to me than cheeky brash Thomas anyway!What you'll find here in this set are the model railroad films that illustrate many of the adventures from the books, along with a few other stories. Thomas is back to his cheeky self, always overestimating himself and getting into jams (just like children often do!). I wish the American "Shining Time Station" framework were also available, or the years with George Carlin narrations, but these episodes will make you nostalgic and happy and still captivate your little ones, so everyone wins, in my opinion.Especially if your child is excited about model railways or real train engines/train cars, as I was when I was a girl, these will be a big hit.

    It had nothing
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 30, 2022*

The copy I ordered here didn't include the discs, the little panphlet things that usually came with older Thomas DVDs, nothing. I wound up buying secondhand from another site.
