Thomas & Friends DVD: The Great Discovery
Thomas & Friends: The Great Discovery, is a great DVD for kids – and one of Nolyn’s favorite Thomas movies to watch. The Thomas videos of regular shows are great, but the last few years they’ve been putting out these full length movies and features (some of them shown at the theater), and “The Great Discovery” is fun for the whole family to watch. It’s a great addition to your Thomas & Friends movie collection.

- Interactive engines and destinations

Rating: 1 / 5
I waited for this movie and my son and I went and bought it the first day it was out! We wanted so much for this to be the best Thomas ever. Well, it’s good – I mean really good, but I’m sorry, Pierce Brosnan is not the right person to do the voiceover. OK, that’s just my opinion and I’m not even sure whether my 3-yr-old agrees or not.
Brosnan sounds like he is doing toddler Shakespeare. He is a little over the top for me. There are moments when this works and others where it would be nice to be a little more “story-like.” What do I mean? Well, it’s the difference between a good actor and a great actor. I don’t want to think about the narrator while I’m watching a Thomas episode. I want him to just BE there, reading it really well. Even Ringo pulled this off and I never thought it possible.
All that said, the movie is great – lots of thrills and plots. And of course we all learn great lessons as we resolve the issues of the day. I wouldn’t miss it for the world; I would just prefer another narrator.
We have seen the current PBS episodes, with the new computer graphics, and Brosnan is not the narrator. Does anyone know the story?
Thomas – you are the leader!

Only because when we saw the previews for this on another DVD, it showed Thomas’ mouth moving, as if it were done in CGI. My son was totally geeked for that, which is the only reason I bought it. Not a bit of it done the way the preview was, he was horribly disappointed. While we both loved the video and Pierce Brosnan as the narrator, we both felt let down by the misleading preview.
Anyway, the story, songs & narration were wonderful, but beware it’s not done in CGI, it’s the regular Thomas show.
Rating: 3 / 5
This is the BEST Thomas movie – hands down. Pierce Brosnin did a wonderful job of narrating the characters with unique and interesting voices. Good story and fun movie.
Rating: 5 / 5
My 4 1/2 yr old loves Thomas and she lives to see trains go by on the real train tracks and hears them from where we live, also has allot of the Thomas train battery operated train sets. This is a wonderful dvd. She watches it all the time and never gets tired of watching it.

The Great Discovery is an awesome Thomas movie, our son has watched it 100 times since we got the DVD!
