My boys LOVE Thomas & Friends. They have many of the trains and other Thomas & Friends toys, and they love watching Thomas & Friends episodes on On-Demand on TV. They only have one Thomas & Friends DVD though, so when we received The Lion of Sodor, I knew they would be excited to watch it!

In the title episode, Thomas thought he was transporting a real lion and asked some of his fellow trains for things that he thought the lion would like, such as sticky syrup, fish, and straw. Despite the other trains trying to tell him it wasn't a real statue, Thomas was too excited to listen and kept going.

However, when it was revealed that the lion was not a "real" lion but instead a statue, Musician became a little upset when he saw that it was covered in sticky syrup, fish, and straw.

He exclaimed "OH NO!" It was so cute.

Eventually Thomas made the statue look like new again, and the episode offered a really good lesson on the importance of listening.

The boys really enjoyed the other episodes too, especially Thomas and the Pigs, because they got to see and identify a lot of different farm animals, such as cows and goats.

What was really neat about this DVD that's different from the other DVD we own and the episodes we watch on On-Demand is that the trains talk! The boys thought it was so neat to hear the trains actually speak.

The Lion of Sodor is a great addition to add to our DVD collection, especially since my boys love Thomas & Friends!
