New animation technique with a bit of culture and a moral
My 5-year-old son fell in love with Hiro after watching this full-length film. Hiro technically comes from Japan and his voice is performed by an English-speaking Japanese actor. He was "master of the rails" in his home country, represented in flashback with iconic Japanese woodblock-like images. After years of work in Sodor, Hiro is abandoned when he starts to break down, and Thomas finds him in the forest and helps to get him rebuilt. Spencer starts out as the bad guy but learns generosity and modesty for a decent lesson at the end.
The film has computer-generated illustration instead of the static figures of earlier Thomas episodes. Each of the trains has its own voice and moving facial expressions, with a narrator to provide plot points.

Wonderful Movie for 2 Year-Old Daughter
My 2 year-old daughter has recently expressed excitement over buses, trucks, airplanes, helicopters, and trains...so I thought she might get a kick out of a Thomas video. Once I popped it in, she was hooked. It's actually a very cute movie, and carries a nice message about friendship. The new CGI format is wonderful, and I prefer it to the traditional style (this may be my preference because we started with this format in the first place). I'm waiting for the next Thomas full-length movie, as I prefer it to the videos with short stories.

Better than expected!
My 2 boys are diehard Thomas fans, and I was disappointed when I heard this new movie wasn't going to use the old model format. The movie is wonderful and it changed my mind about the new cgi graphics. A very sweet, engaging story that I was pleasantly surprised to find interested me. The story has a lot more substance than I expected--there's actually a story and some character development! (Keeping in mind it is still a Thomas kid's movie.) Spencer has been my 2 year old's VERY favorite Thomas train, for some reason, and stories with Spencer are hard to find so we were excited when this video came out. Although he isn't the "nice" engine in the story, the kids still love it and like to see that Spencer redeemed himself in the end. Great addition for any Thomas or Spencer fan!
