Leave your thoughts about Thomas & Friends: Big World! Big Adventures! The Movie.
| The Herald (Scotland)Alison RowatIt is not much of a thrill ride, despite all those exclamation marks in the title. |
| Den of GeekSimon BrewThere are some decent messages for that [younger] age group. |
| Times (UK)Ed PottonThe animation, story and dialogue all feel so pedestrian and, despite the globetrotting theme, parochial. |
| Movies4KidsJo BerryColourful and cute in places, but grown-up fans of the older series will mourn for the days of Ringo Starr's voiceover... and the quaintness of Sodor |
| GuardianCath ClarkeThe whole thing has a straight-to-DVD quality, or perhaps a TV episode padded out with a few limp songs. |
| The Mail on Sunday (UK)Matthew BondIt's short of charm but features strong female, African and Asian characters for the first time. Toot, toot! |
| The ListEddie HarrisonAn impersonal slice of television that feels out of place on the big screen. |
| The National (Scotland)Ross MillerAs arduous as trying to push a locomotive through treacle while someone sings nursery rhymes in your face. |
| User ReviewAvery PA very diffferent film for the Thomas the Tank Engine series, but in a good way. It's a great musical adventure with amazing songs, fun new characters and a great amount of laughs for the whole family. Nia is a wonderful addition to the series and so is Ace. Kids will really like these two and I'm sure they'll have a blast watching it. I know my nephew and I did. |
| User ReviewDash RThe usual feature length Thomas stuff. Good fun, catchy tunes, all the kids' favourite characters. If you want something more meaningful and worthy of a critic's time and effort, don't waste your time with this...but if you have children who enjoy these movies as my two do, it's well worth popping along to cinema. Oh, and it's got Peter Andre in it, who's Australian accent initially caused me to say "they could've at least got an Aussie to play that part!". It's not a great movie by any stretch but what are you really expecting? |
