Best of Thomas
Thomas fans have spoken and this Best of Thomas represents eight, viewer-selected favorite episodes. An insecure Thomas learns just how much he's valued in 'Thomas Gets Bumped' while Percy learns an important lesson about fears and bravery in 'Thomas, Percy, and the Dragon.' Jealousy threatens to eliminate any chance of friendship between Thomas and Stepney in 'Thomas and Stepney' and Thomas comes to embrace diversity in 'A New Friend for Thomas.' Thomas learns the virtues of hard work and patience in 'Thomas Saves the Day,' 'A Big Day for Thomas,' and 'Trouble for Thomas.' Finally, cooperation and pride culminate in a visit from the queen that Edward, Thomas, and Gordon will never forget in 'Thomas Meets the Queen.' This entertaining, 46-minute tape concludes with the sing-a-long tune 'Really Useful Engine.' --Tami Horiuchi
Best of Percy
Children love stories told by engaging storytellers, the winning formula of Thomas and Friends tales about a group of toy trains on the island of Sodor, based on the 'Railway Series' by Reverend W. Awdry. This 'best of' compilation of favorite Percy episodes was selected by preschool fans from around the world, a loyal bunch who can identify with the spunky and mischievous tank engine bearing a purple #6. There are nine short stories here, narrated by George Carlin and Ringo Starr, which focus on a dilemma and end with a gentle moral message. Percy is usually in a predicament because of cheeky behavior, such as in 'Percy Takes a Plunge,' where he finds himself in a water hole, or worse still, covered in sticky goop in 'A Scarf for Percy.' And who can forget 'Percy's Ghostly Trick' when, after telling some chilling ghost stories, Percy hits a cart of limestone and the dust turns him ghostly white, giving his friends a fright. Though Percy delivers mail, transports children, and helps other engines, he always finds time for practical jokes and ensuing misadventures. There are moments of bravery and bravado, heroism and humiliation tucked between plenty of mishaps. Preschool kids can relate to Percy's predicaments and his earnest desire to be useful and appreciated. They'll walk away with valuable lessons on friendship, resourcefulness and forgiveness. And train fanatics, young and old, will find plenty to enjoy with a bounty of railway terms and realistic train miniatures.
Best of James
A reliable line-up of commemorative stories comprises this notable best-of collection featuring James, the impish blue engine famous among Sir Topham's Railway gang. George Carlin narrates the eight lively episodes where James is alternately hero and hellion, and gentle moral messages are sprinkled amid the mishaps. Preschool fans will recognize most of their favorite stories like 'James Goes Buzz Buzz,' where our namesake transports a mob of angry bees and learns a stinging lesson in the process; or 'James and the Fruitful Day,' a humorous reminder that humility is a virtue whereas pride can lead an engine down the wrong track. Kids relate to James' predicaments, misplaced bravado, and earnest desire to be useful as they tuck away pint-sized proverbs on kindness, forgiveness, and friendship. (Ages 2 to 7) --Lynn Gibson

If your little one likes Thomas the Train then this is the collection for you! Thomas and his friends, Percy and James, get into all sorts of trouble but with help and cooperation solve their problems. It is entertaining for children but gives them subtle life lessons.

As stated before, the dvds open with several minutes of commercials. My experience was that we could fast forward through some of them, except on the Thomas dvd, which forces you to watch them all. There are also several logos that you are forced to watch.
Let me tell you something - when your two-year-old son has just had surgery and has to stay at home to recover, and wants to see Thomas, the last thing he wants is a bunch of logos, fbi warnings, and commercials.
The narrators are inconsistent. I prefer the british narrators, especially Ringo, but this set is a real mess, mixing the actors and wandering in and out of sequence.
There also seems to be an emphasis on big messy accidents in this set, which gets a bit scary for the little ones.
Okay, but not great.

This is an exellent DVD set.Don't listen to what the others say,they say its bad,and I don't care for the 5 minutes of commercials,they are actully intresting.They also have a cool way of doing the song inbetween episodes,which is showing thier moments.This is really good,but I actully brought a set at Best Buy which includes the Best Of Gordon aswell.The DVDs show old episdoes re-narrarated by George Carlin.In conclusion,you might as well get this DVD set.

If you already have other newer DVDs, don't buy this set. There are alot of overlapping episodes (well, hence, "the best of..."). The quality is very very bad, they should put in a little effort to remaster everything. Also, the episodes are out of chronological order. Neither of the 3 DVDs hold my son's interest for too long, and he is a MAJOR Thomas fan.
