MY THOUGHTS:

My boys love this DVD set – I mean four discs full of Thomas adventures, what’s not to love!  It is also the new CGI animation so it is more bright and colorful than the old traditional Thomas.  Each DVD is a good length and all full of rip-roaring action!  My boys love Thomas & Friends and this set so far is their favorite.  I love that you can get four DVDs for around $20!  Very fun and of course full of great Thomas lessons! There are also tons of great bonus features that we haven’t even made it all the way through them yet!
