All Engines Go! Review - S3 Ep.2 - Bells are Ringing

 THESE ARE MY OWN OPINIONS AND ARE NOT INFLUENCED FROM THE THOMAS & FRIENDS FANBASE

BELLS ARE RINGING
Written by
Tracy Nicoletti

Produced by

Air Date

Plot
Percy's lucky bell is missing, so he and Thomas try to solve the mystery of its disappearance.

I think they should've made Percy more angry here since his lucky bell meant so much to him. It might not fit with the vibe that is AEG but when it comes to the engines being depicted as kids, kids can get angry when something they value something as precious goes missing and get very emotional over it. Why not make Percy angry and falsely accusing the others for taking his bell away, or so he thought, until he realised his own mistake at the end of the episode. 

They should show characters that kids are suppose to look up too with flaws which helps them to grow and learn, that's what made the original series of Thomas very popular in the first place. The episode itself is another alright but not great story and I wish they did it better.
