The plucky little locomotive Thomas the Tank Engine and his railroad pals on the island of Sodor are at it again in this collection of episodes from the popular children's television series. In Thomas & Friends: Percy Saves the Day, Thomas finds out the hard way just how smart Percy can be, Duncan finds himself in trouble until Rusty comes to his aid, and Fergis gets a chance to show his new friends in Sodor just what he can do. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

The adventures never stop on Sodor Island, and when Thomas rockets passed Gordon with a little assistance from a jet plane and Percy sees naughty gnomes playing devious tricks and horses take to the air in flight, it seems that anything can happen! Somehow, amidst all of the chaos, Salty and Fergus prove that engines can even be useful off of the tracks when they rush to get the darkened lighthouse lit during a big storm. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends - Percy's Chocolate Crunch features a half-dozen stories starring Thomas and his fellow locomotive buddies. In addition to the title tale, the video includes the stories "Gordon Takes a Tumble," "Faulty Whistles," "Buffer Brother," and a music video for the song "Little Engines." These stories should satisfy Thomas fans of all ages. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

The internationally popular children's television program Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends (shown in the United States as part of the PBS series Shining Time Station) makes its way onto the big screen in this feature-length adventure. On her way to see her Grandpa Burnett (Peter Fonda), young Lily (Mara Wilson) gets on the wrong train and ends up lost. Fortunately, she meets the tiny Mr. Conductor (Alec Baldwin), who shows her a magical railway where the plucky little steam engine Thomas (voice of John Bellis) pulls the line from the enchanted town of Shining Time to the island of Sodor. Thomas' rival is the bigger (and meaner) Diesel Ten, who has already put one of Thomas' allied engines, The Lady, out of commission. Without The Lady, the Conductor has no source for the magic gold dust that allows him to travel from Sodor to Shining Time in the wink of an eye, so Lily and Thomas have to find a way to find more for him. Thomas and the Magic Railroad also features Didi Conn as Stacy Jones (reprising her role from Shining Time Station) and Russell Means as Billy Two Feathers. Like the TV series, Thomas and the Magic Railroad is loosely based on the Thomas the Tank Engine books written by British children's author Wilbert Vere Awdry. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

A middle-aged Annette Funicello stars in this made-for-Disney film about a blue-collar family whose lives are forever transformed when they win the lottery. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Movie Guide
