MY THOUGHTS
I received an advance copy of Thomas & Friends Day Of The Diesels The Movie. As with all Thomas movies and episodes, CJ didn’t move from his seat while it was on. In Thomas & Friends Day Of The Diesels The Movie, Percy is feeling left out when Thomas is asked to spend his time showing the new engines Belle and Flynn around Sodor. Percy thinks that Thomas doesn’t have time with him and thinks he needs a new friend in order to feel special. Diesel 10 sees this and invites Percy to the Dieselworks. Percy decides to go, despite having been warned by Thomas earlier that Diesels are devious and that Steamies never go to the Dieselworks. He is happy to have made some new friends, unaware that Diesel 10 is using him as part of a plan to take over the Steamworks. Tthe Diesels want to take over the Steamworks because the Dieselworks are dirty, old and run-down, and don’t even have a crane. Percy realizes what is going on and rushes to save Thomas, who’s in danger. Once Thomas is safe, all of the Steamies must work together to get their home back. Of course, the Steamworks takeover has caused confusion and delay, and you know how Sir Topham Hatt feels about that. CJ, RB and I all enjoyed watching this movie. This movie is a must have for your favorite Thomas collector.

My youngest son is just going to love this. He just loves Thomas.
What is the general age group that Thomas targets?
Thomas targets children ages 2 – 5.
I remember watching Thomas and the magic railroad back when I was little, and I loved it so much! But I was very dissapointed by this pile of scrap of a movie. I know its not a direct sequal, but you can’t just bring back Diesel 10 for no good reason. They don’t even bother to explain how or why he’s back. Most kids probably haven’t seen the magic railroad, (shame on you if your kids never watched it) so they might not know Diesel 10, but for me, watching this failed attempt of the return of Diesel 10 was saddening. Why bring him back if it’ll have nothing to with the original movie? And why does he change from being “set on the destruction of steam trains”, to this goofy “I want a new diesel works station”? And of course they had to find the worst voice actor for him. This movie is a complete waste of a once valuable charater. They really should have thought of a better story, something that would’ve been awesome, maybe even bring back Lady and the magic rail road buffers. All in all, litte kids will enjoy it, cause Thomas is in it. But the unexplained return and bland storyline makes this movie almost unbearable.
