DVD Review: Steam Team to the Rescue

Welcome to the new year and the newest decade of 2020. As we prepare for the 75th anniversary year of the Railway Series books, we got our first DVD from the UK of the 2019 Sodor special 'Steam Team to the Rescue'. So here are my views on the contents that this DVD provides. But first:

SPECIAL FEATURES


Pretty basic features really, all they are are just the usual 'Meet the Characters' videos of the Brazillian engines. There were some info about the characters and as usual they were nice. But that was it really. You think maybe they might've added the song from the Steam Team special as well as a karaoke video but I guess for whatever they decided against it. 

OVERALL

In the end, the DVD was alright. The episodes are not too bad in my opinion but I find it a little sad that their special feature was lacking in variety. 

Rating: 6/10
