Advantages: Great stories, good engines, educational experience Disadvantages: The new stories aren't as good
I am now 17 years old, but I do still love watching the odd Thomas The Tank Engine story very ocassionly. I grew up watching it and I had, and still do have, most of the videos and story books. I was pleased to discover that the programmes and concept is still going strong. They are continuing to make new stories and introduce more characters, both of which have some positive and negative costs. I will write everything that I know about Thomas The Tank Engine and try and gives those of you who haven't seen it before, a good idea of what it all involves.
Thomas The Tank Engine (and Friends), is a childrens programme about the trains that operate on the island of Sodor. It follows them through their ups and downs and also their funny moods and strops that they get into. Each story tends to have a message at the end of it and it ...
Advantages: Kids just love him Disadvantages: Wacky prices
and his friends toys....
We personally have so many Thomas toys that I couldnt give you discriptions without needing a week to do it. Suffice to say that my boys spend hours playing with their Brio trains which we add too as often as possible, seeing as brio is on the more expensive side. But ebay does offer an alternative to paying out so much money, but in my experience have found that everyone wants Thomas so the bids exceed drastically, the original price.
This christmas my boys will not be let down. I have for them the usual colouring books and pens and my mother has told me that she has sent over a remote control Thomas. There is a limitless range out there, all guarenteed to keep the little uns occupied for many hours.
On closing, I want to again say Tanks Rev....you have made millions happy through taking a great passion ...
Advantages: entertains the children, only 5 minutes per episode Disadvantages: too much merchandise to be conned into
Thomas the Tank Engine ? kids love it, parents are made bankrupt by it. Let me explain about good ole Thomas. He ?lives? on the Island of Sodor, which my sources inform me is near/like the Isle of Man. Thomas has many friends, in the original books, he had just 5 friends ? James, Henry, Gordon, Edward (all Tender engines) and Percy (who was the only other Tank engine). Shortly after other characters started to appear; such as Duck, Bertie (the bus), Harold (the helicopter) and Terence (the tractor). In the late 1980s, Thomas (as I?m sure you know), was made into a television series read by Ringo Starr, kids loved his reading voice and parents loved him because ?he was the bloke from the Beatles? (who their kids had never heard of?) After a few series, Ringo passed the voiceover baton to Michael Angeleo (although I recently read in ...
