Thomas the Tank Engine has been around on the television since 1984, and its clear to see why. Everything is made to a great standard of quality, and it offers a sense of originality. Who would of thought that The Reverend Wilbert Awdry had originally only written these stories as bed time stories for Christopher Awdry, when he was ill. These stories were first written during the 1920's, and when they eventually got published into books, known as The Railway Series, and then onto television. Although not all the stories are based on The Railway Series lately, they still have the same impact. I think its safe to say that Thomas and his friends will be around for a very long time to come.

Hello everyone, DaveMan1000 here and today I went to see the premier of the latest Thomas & Friends special, Big World! Big Adventures! After the overwhelmingly positive response to Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure and the more polarising views on The Great Race and Journey Beyond Sodor; both of which did affect my overall opinions on those movies, I wanted a fresh take on this new entry and I didn't read or watch any 'reviews' prior to seeing it.

And through all of that, I can personally say that Big World! Big Adventures! Is a well paced, beautifully animated and overall really fun movie. Right off the bat, no, this is not as good as Sodor's Legend of the Lost Treasure; putting that debate to rest before it even starts. If you ask me, I don't think The Great Race and Journey Beyond Sodor got the amount of praise they deserved due to being unfairly compared to their vastly superior predecessor, which I'm sure many people will also do for this one, which will in turn detract it's overall quality. First, let's talk about the elephant in the room: yes, the engines and road vehicles are now fully capable of moving their bodies around. In this movie, they went all out, as opposed to Journey Beyond Sodor and Series 21 where they sort of went half-in half-out, and got stuck in an awkward middle ground.

But here, they're more dynamic than ever before, but I really don't see that as a bad thing. I believe that they should've implemented this style into the show as soon as they made the transition to full CGI back in Hero of the Rails. Just seeing the characters visibly interact and respond to the world around them brings much more life to what would otherwise be static vehicles with faces, which works in model form, but not so much in animation if you ask me. As far the voice cast goes, it's as great as ever: John Hasler as Thomas brings us the same innocent & mischievous performance as always, though I think this could be his best role as the tank engine yet. This movie I think showcases Thomas' cheeky side much better, like one instance where he goes behind Gordon's back and tricks him without the latter even realising until it's too late, and seeing Gordon's reaction gave me a good chuckle.
