Plot
When a last-minute hitch puts a stop to the big kazoo concert, Thomas and his friends decide to hold a pizza picnic for everyone instead.
This is just a meh episode with a conflict that was resolved quickly. It really wasn't bad but it wasn't the best either. But one thing I do agree with from this episode is that Pineapple belongs on Pizza. It was also nice to see Bruno having a speaking role in the episode too as, so far, he was barely in this season, which is a shame too because he's the only character bareable to sit through and Mattel made a whole big deal about him back in 2022. I do know we have an episode of his coming up later this year and I do hope we get more of him soon because he is a really good character.
All in all though, the episode was just not that good and also I think it's kinda stupid of the Fat Controller not realising that Reginald, the baker, could do the job alone. But then again some modern kids shows, the adults are sometimes depicted as useless idiots, *stares at Paw Patrol and Peppa Pig*. It's a shame too as the previous episode was, so far this season, the best one. I guess the message was about finding a new way, thanks to the song stating the obvivous. But I think the conflict was resolved too quickly. Perhaps have the engines trying to find different ways of cooking the pizza but fail until they thought of a giant pizza oven, like using their fireboxes.
