FEEL THE NEED FOR SPEED IN THE BRAND NEW THOMAS & FRIENDS™

DVD ‘GO GO THOMAS’

The latest Thomas and Friends DVD is OUT! I know a fair few Mummy’s who will be rushing straight out to buy it if only to give themselves  something new to watch! Thomas fans are hardy and will watch their DVDs over and over – for the Mum’s it’s definitely a good thing when a new DVD comes out so imagine what the excitement is like for the little fans themselves! Read all about it here then enter my competition to WIN yourself (and your little Thomas fan) a copy!

Pistons are popping, boilers are bubbling, and wheels are wobbling on the Island of Sodor as Thomas and the gang get ready to whoosh like the wind in the new offering, ‘Go Go Thomas’!

Thomas and his friends are charged up and ready to Go, Go! Thomas shows Gordon that being quick is as useful as being strong, while Flynn, the fire engine, learns to put his pride aside and race to the rescue. Thomas causes some trouble on the tracks trying to be a model engine for a new photographer, while Spencer’s on the move, ignoring warnings about electric engine Stafford’s battery. Thomas pumps his pistons to Misty Island to help fix Ol’ Wheezy. Will the number one blue engine be on track and on time? Ready, Set… Go, Go Thomas!

Now, Florence usually asks me to turn the more boyish programmes over in favour of more pink and sparkly children’s TV but with Thomas she is always happy to watch and enjoys it. I know that she isn’t a super fan like some of her little boy pals but I think that it goes to show, even if you’re not mega fans, the programme is rather watchable. Personally, I prefer the old-style Thomas, the style I watched when I was little. Back then it was more like the toys that were being filmed. These days with CGI animation, although the story lines are just as enjoyable, I think it’s lost a little of it’s old-fashioned edge which I found really appealing… But that’s just me and I’m not the one watching am I… Florence, definitely prefers the new! I often google old programmes to show her what I watched and while she will watch them, I know that she prefers the new modern ones much better and why wouldn’t she?! Just as I used to laugh at the things my Mum watched as a child and wonder how anyone could have enjoyed them, she looks back at the television I fondly remember and sees dated shows… Thomas has kept with the times and his army of fans throughout each decade that he’s been around are testament to his popularity. If he didn’t keep modern he would probably go out of fashion and he’s not about to do that any time soon!

The new film has all the charm of the programmes, excitement of the other films and brings something new for the long-suffering parents of Thomas fans who have to watch the same episodes on repeat daily. Just as usual with a Thomas film, new characters are introduced while old favourites don’t get forgotten! A must for any Thomas fan and certainly enjoyable for the rest too!
