THESE ARE SOLEY MY OPINIONS AND NOT FROM THE THOMAS & FRIENDS FAN BASE
JAMES AND THE RED BALLOON
Written by
Jenny McDade
Directed by
David Mitton
Air Date:
12/9/02
Plot:
Thomas and James are scared a hot-air balloon will steal their passengers.
PRO:
- The Red Balloon theme is calming and relaxing.
- The story reminds me of Christopher Awdry's 'James and The Balloon'
CON:
- Stepney's cameo is just pointless.
- Why would Duck ran into the back of Stepney, wouldn't his driver stop him?
This episode is certainly one of my all time favourites, another simple story with a calming and relaxing theme, I wish Mike O' Donnell and Junior Campbell released the theme on CD and the story did remind me of 'James and The Balloon' a story by Christopher Awdry. I love this episode, I love the balloon and I enjoy watching it many times.
Rating: 5/5
