JAM Reviews Thomas & Friends: Adventure Pack from Lionsgate/HIT Entertainment


Thomas & Friends Adventure Pack: Four Disc Set: Lionsgate/HIT Entertainment
Review by JAM

As the holidays approach what better time to share a little train time with the Thomas fan in your life, and what better way to do it than with the Thomas and Friends Adventure Pack, a four-disc set sharing some of Thomas fun adventures. See the first foray into the Thomas CGI as this set has the following DVDs: Railway Friends, High Speed Adventures, Team Up with Thomas, and Percy and the Bandstand. A collection of episodes from the series, a number of bonus features, and Thomas and his choo-chooing friends make this one adventure pack for any parent to get behind.

Winter follies, festive parties and parades, new friends, and CGI animation fill the discs as Thomas and his friends learn new lessons on the island of Sodor. Mr. Arkwright also joins the team on these discs as the live-action right hand man for Sir Topham Hatt, sharing activities and insights for the kids to follow. Thomas and Friends have always been a good choice for parents and their young kids, and what is better than a multi-pack disc for the holiday time?

“Best Friends”
“The Party Surprise”
“Gordon Takes a Shortcut”
“Thomas Puts the Brakes On”
