DVD Review: The Best of Thomas & Friends Volume 1

THESE ARE SOLEY MY OWN OPINIONS AND NOT FROM THE THOMAS & FRIENDS FAN BASE OR FROM THE PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT THIS PRODUCT.


I remember finding this DVD out of nowhere at a Kmart store back in 2010 and strangley it was never advertised everywhere on the internet and yet they advertised it in 2011. Strange? But anyway, I bought this DVD at a Toys 'R' Us store back in late 2011 as TTTE Wikia have said in 'Trivia' section of this item that there are a few episodes that have been restored from 1st-3rd seasons. The episode that have been restored and episodes that the DVD contains as followed:

- Thomas & Gordon
- Edward & Gordon (Restored)
- Thomas & The Breakdown Train
- James & The Coaches
- Thomas, Terence & The Snow (Restored)
- Bertie's Chase (Restored)
- Percy & The Signal (Restored)
- Dirty Work
- Ghost Train
- Thomas Gets Bumped (Restored)
- Thomas, Percy & The Dragon
- Trust Thomas
- Edward, Trevor & The Really Useful Party (Restored)
- Buzz, Buzz
- Sleeping Beauty 
- Thomas and Stepney
- Paint Pots & Queens
- Thomas and The Special Letter
- Cranky Bugs
- Stepney Gets Lost
- Rusty and The Boulder
- A Bad Day For Harold The Helicopter
- It's Only Snow
- Scaredy Engines
- James and The Red Balloon 


26 episodes on one DVD for about $24.99 on the ABC shop website. Six episodes are released in their restored state and the rest are in 4:9 full screen and the season six episodes are in 16:9 widescreen, this is the only Australian DVD to have the restored episodes and the 16:9 widescreen S6 episodes. Is this DVD well worth the money? Of course. If you're looking for some quality entertainment for your children then this is the DVD for you.

Rating: 5/5
