It will not allow you to skip or even fast forward through them. This DVD forces you to watch boatloads of commercials.
Other DVDs are programmed so you can jump straight to the menu and skip the advertising. The DVD has a terrible amount of advertising that you're forced to watch before you can see any of the Thomas stories. But given that all the Thomas collections are excellent, you should buy something other than this one. Not this one.Once you run the advertising gauntlet and earn the right to watch videos, they're excellent as always. It's advertising other Thomas products, so it's actually interesting the first time through. But you'll be forced to watch the advertising EVERY time you play this.
My little one just loves it. When the trains are getting prepared to meet the Queen, then the really shine.This video is full of great lessons and very well done graphics. This is actually one of our favorites and it gets watched in our house quite often. This is one of the nicest Thomas videos out there, in our opinion. Great video and a great price. It's particularly interesting when they show the breakdown train getting James out of the mud and onto the track again after those bad freight cars shove him off the track. It's just very nice how the engines work together, work out their problems together, and support each other along the way. They get taught a lesson in this video and it's quite nice.
Here are the stories: Thomas Gets Bumped, A New Friend For Thomas, Thomas Percy and the dragon, Thomas Saves The Day, Trouble For Thomas, Thomas & Stepney, A Big Day For Thomas, Thomas Meets The Queen, and the music video "Really Useful Engine". That one was a perfect Thomas episode. A part 2 of Best of Thomas might be needed. Thomas & Stepney and A New Friend For Thomas should not have been on here because Thomas is not the main character in both of these even though the title might have his name in it.
Here is Best of Thomas. And that wrapps up my review for Best of Thomas, hope it was helpful for you. Anyway, this is a great video to buy because it does have some great Thomas moments. Now the stories on here are good but there were alot more out there that should've been one this video.
I had to give this one 4 stars because of the numurous amount of Thomas stories that could have been on here and weren't. :) Let me start by saying that they didn't put one of the greatest stories of all time on here, Thomas Comes To Breakfast. Other ones that should have been on here include Thomas Gets Tricked, Trust Thomas, Thomas and Bertie's Great Race, Thomas Goes Fishing, Double Trouble, Better Late Than Ever, The Runaway, I could go on for ever but I'm sure you get my point.
Are these viewers really stupid becasue these epiodes weren't great. Thomas was barely in both of them. Thomas meets the Queen didn't excalty focus on Thomas. Let me start of by saying that viewer selected doesn't mean they have to be great. And I really think they shoulda kept the Ringo Starr narrations. I thought Better Late than Never, Thomas comes to Breakfast, Thomas Breaks the Rules, and Thomas and Bertie's Great Race were far better than some of these like Thomas and Stepney or a New Friend for Thomas. Thomas's first ever episode Thomas gets Tricked wasn't even in it. Were they really that good.
