Sacrilege! Reverend Awdry is turning in his grave!
5 August 2003
Britt Allcroft should be flogged for desecrating such a treasure!

My kids were first exposed to the Thomas and Friends videos. We then got them the complete treasury storybook with its original illustrations and have truly enjoyed Reverend Awdry's vision.

We stumbled across "The Magic Railroad" in a markdown bin at Wal-Mart and thought we had struck gold.

One word: ECCH!!!

Alec Baldwin and Peter Fonda!? Come on! Were they the only two actors that Britt Allcroft could scrounge up to do this movie because everyone else foresaw how awful it was?

If your kids are getting into Thomas, I recommend the Thomas and Friends original series. There is the spinoff (ripoff) show, Shining Time Station, but even that show is full of humans doing and saying a bunch of Mister Rogers-type gobbledygook and showing very little of Thomas.

I'd like to hear what the good Reverend will have to say to Allcroft on other side someday!
