Review of Thomas & Friends: Misty Island Rescue (2010) by Panta O — 08 Nov 2013

I usually don't watch cartoons with Thomas & Friends, but my little boy discovered the magic of these machines and we had to watch together the adventures of these mechanical characters in this CGI one hour special. I never watched Thomas & Friends in CGI animation, and this one done by Nitrogen Studios Canada Inc. was a real treat. The film celebrates 65 years of Thomas the Tank Engine, and I am glad I joined the celebration watching it!

The story of the building of new Search and Rescue Center at Sodor, which will serve as the base operations for Harold, Rocky, and a new lifeboat named Captain, was entertaining, educational, inspirational and full with good advices for the little ones. The happenings around the rare wood called "Jobi wood" which has arrived from Hiro's homeland to be used in completing the Centre were involving little children fully, as well as the parents. Not that just all of the engines were excited about this in the movie and wanted to help deliver the wood to the Search and Rescue Centre, with them were hundreds of little heads sitting on the laps of parents cheering along.

If your little ones need some excitement without an actual scare, lots of wise and inspirational advices, many enjoyable characters visiting awesome places, please, check this cartoon! You will enjoy it, too... though, a little advice: never forget that this is made for little children. :-).
