Thomas and Friends: Curious Cargo DVD Review.

Sunday, January 29, 2012 guest blogging No comments

Thomas the Friend’s Curious Cargo is Thomas’ wildest ride yet. Settle in and watch as Thomas and his friends deliver furry friends to the Sodor Wildlife Center. In these three episodes, Thomas learns how to overcome the challenges of transporting a very tall giraffe, Percy learns the importance of being gentle with animals, and Belle and Toby discover why it’s so important to listen to others. All good lessons presented in a fun way that you can reinforce after you watch the video with your child.

Thomas the Tank Engine has been around for 65 years and yet the stories never fail to convey the importance of friendship and hard work. This episode is no exception. My four-year old twins laughed at Thomas silly predicament and loved the fact that the trains’ mouths moved in these episodes. The animation is top-notch and the stores are entertaining yet easy for a young child to follow. Unlike a lot of cartoons aimed at children, there’s never any violence or inappropriate humor in these videos, something I appreciate as a parent.

My kids are huge animal lovers and they also love Thomas the Tank Engine and his friends, so this video was the perfect combination. If you have a little boy or girl at home who likes Thomas, this is a great addition to your video collection.
