Show: Thomas & Friends Season/Volume: Up Up & Away Genre: Educational, Family, Kids Starring: Martin Sherman, Jules De Jongh Studio: Lyons / Hit Ent. Runtime: 49 minutes Release Date: March 6, 2012 Format: DVD Discs: 1 Rating: ( )Grade: A- In this Thomas release kids will learn from example as Thomas and his friends find themselves under all kinds of peer pressure. From being too afraid to hurt a friends feelings, even when doing so would be the right thing to do, to feeling alienated because your different from your friends. Included on the disc are four episodes and of course live bonus segments featuring Driver Perkins. Driver Perkins himself is under a bit of pressure as he tries to grow carrots for the Sodor Fruit and Vegetable Show. When he intercepts the competitions entries he starts to wonder weather or not his carrots are even good enough to be entered into the contest. As usual Driver Perkins is a welcomed addition to the show dynamics. Bonus features for this disc include a Catch the Balloon Game. I felt the controls for this one were a little wonky when we tested it out on my PC. Hovering the mouse over the balloon will hold it in place and you can guide it into place but it’s a bit sketchy. Another bonus game is Guess Who? Puzzles. These are okay for smaller children who do not have the ability to control a remote. Basically they show you a puzzle that’s out of sorts and slowly pieces it together for you and you have to guess who it is that the puzzle is a picture of. Seems like short time use games though. In any case the episodes on the disc are fun and will probably help your child better understand situations where peer pressure is involved. Enjoy. Pictures: |
