ANYONE
IN IT WE KNOW?
Narrated by
Michael Angelis
WHAT’S
IT ABOUT THEN?
6
all new stories of Thomas and
his friends, Percy, Edward and
the gang as they have adventures
on the island of Sodor (which
was actually modelled on the
real life Isle of Man).
SO
IS IT ANY GOOD?
I
will admit to being quite surprised at the all new Thomas with it’s
CGI (moving clouds and all), new theme tune and a somehow more close up
view of the little engines, but I needn’t have worried, this is Thomas
just as we know and love him, still voiced by Michael Angelis and still
getting into mischief Thomas and Co are still great fun, in fact in some
ways this is a new improved Thomas, gone are the endless credits between
episodes, replaced by fun interactive segments instead such as “guess
which engines are being described”, “Listen to the different sounds
of the engines” and even two sing along Karaoke style songs.
This
Roadshow release contains 6 new episodes, Thomas is the star of several
but Henry, Gordon, James and Toby also get a chance to shine, all in all
Thomas is a true legend of pre-school TV.
ANY
SPECIAL FEATURES?
Special
features consist of a fun quiz segment called Know Your Engines.
