It's full steam ahead for adventure and fun in this Thomas collection featuring all-new CGI animation. Join Thomas, Percy, Gordon and the entire gang as they race down the tracks of Sodor to fix bridges, plan parties and learn the rewards of friendship. So grab on to your whistles and bring your best friends along for unforgettable journeys with Thomas!

Train aficionados, especially the fans of Thomas the Tank Engine, will love this collection of short videos featuring the lovable and determined blue engine and his assortment of friends. This DVD is perfect for kids two and up, who will learn many important childhood lessons, such as teamwork, friendship and apologies. With all-new CGI animation, the trains are brighter and better than ever! All the classic trains, including Percy, Emily and Gordon, are featured in the video, along with some lesser-known locomotives, such as Jeremy the Airplane and Colin the Crane.

Throughout the six episodes, little ones will watch as Thomas and his friends chug along the tracks of the Island of Sodor and help its residents prepare for a Christmas party (The Party Surprise), help Sir Topham Hatt collect his mother from the airport (Excellent Emily) and other important jobs. The engines, which have a tendency to be somewhat proud and stubborn, help kids learn the importance of listening to advice and accepting help from friends. Two interactive games in the bonus features give children the chance to exercise their problem solving and memory skills too.

As a fan of the entire Thomas series, three-year-old Emily loved this video collection. The short films were the perfect length to hold her attention and she became very excited whenever the engines worked together as friends. She especially loved Best Friends, which featured her two favorite trains, Thomas and Percy, and giggled at how cute it was that the pair has a special best friends whistle.
