Thomas & Friends: The Great Discovery - The Movie

I've loved Thomas & Friends, since I was little. I hated the live action movie and the reboot, though. I had no idea this movie existed. I missed out big time in my childhood! Since, it's not available for home release right now, I could at least watch it on Amazon Prime video. The movie was better than I expected. Thomas makes a wonderful discovery, makes a new friend and Thomas is still a hero in the end. This a great movie for families and the young-at-heart, like me.

Very nice item and well packaged!

Came in amazing condition. Also literally peak movie.

My son has recently discovered the CGI animated Thomas movies, and I simply cannot stand them. We stumbled upon this one, and it is SO much better! It has the models and the narrator (Pierce Brosnan does quite well). The storyline, while full of lapses in logic, was entertaining for all of us. It was nice to watch a Thomas movie without the pathetic dialogue that we discovered in the newer ones (King of the Railway, Blue Mountain Quarry, or even the more recent episode collections). The Great Discovery is worth watching again!

I liked this. It's a mix of at least two Thomas stories found in this 9 story collection Thomas & Friends: Nine Favorite Tales (Thomas & Friends): A Little Golden Book Collection (Little Golden Book...

I was not that thrilled to buy yet another Thomas movie, but we are Pierce Brosnan fans and my three year old loves Thomas so I wanted to give it a try and I was not disappointed. That said, I do think the beginning of the movie is a bit off. Mr. Brosnan sounds a bit monotone, but he seems to pick up the pace and after a while you get caught up in the story about the great discovery (finding the town of Waterton). They introduce a new engine named Stanley (so you can add that train to your growing collection) that my son has not stopped talking about since he saw the movie. Also, the Thomas Theme song at the end is updated and is pretty catchy. A good buy for any Thomas fan.

I'm not sure who enjoys the Thomas videos more - our 3 year old son or myself! If I'm forced to watch a kid's movie, I prefer it to be Thomas the Train over many of the other crappy cartoons/shows out there. Our son isn't a huge fan of the "non talking" Thomas but really liked this one. The story was very good- Thomas stumbles upon the abandoned town of Great Waterton and is then put in charge of it's restoration. Stanley, a new engine, is brought it to take over Thomas's branch line. Thomas becomes jealous of Stanley and his friendships with the other engines which leads to trouble. While trying to be a "really useful engine" again Thomas gets lost down an old mine and is eventually found by Stanley. A great message overall. The updated song at the end is pretty catchy too. The downsides to this movie are Pierce Bronson and the songs. Pierce does a good job narrating but is terrible with the engine voices. Too dull and boring. I'm not a fan of the narrated episodes in general though. The songs during the movie are cute but far too long. The movie could be much shorter and too the point without the songs dragging.

When I saw this in the theaters,I was amazed at how Thomas toppled over and went through the mine.Overall,the movie was the best in the series.Pierce Brosnan was a CLASSIC narrator for Thomas.He added a lot of warmth when he narrated the story.The Thomas You're The Leader song at the end of the movie was an awesome song!The song was a hit with me!But the whole movie did make me wonder,why did they treat the Thomas model so bad?!? But if your a Thomas fan out there,BUY THIS MOVIE!
