Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends - Percy's Chocolate Crunch (with Toy) [VHS]

Amazon.com

As the title suggests, chocolate is involved in the main story's obligatory train crash. Because of a water shortage, Sir Topham Hatt's motto is "Usefulness before cleanliness," but when Bon Bon Percy plows through a factory wall and ends up doused in dessert topping, he earns himself a washdown. The other 5 stories involve Bill and Ben, the buffer brothers; self-important Gordon and his rivalry with Salty; Petersam losing two whistles; and resolving the question of who gets to transport the mouse-fearing opera singer Allicia Botti. The stories deal with the frequent "Thomas" theme of how jealousies, petty fights, and rivalries keep trains from working together. The use of anthropomorphic vehicles somehow makes the message more subtle--and thus more palatable--than many other children's series. A music video sung by children lauding the virtues of small engines wraps up this 38-minute program. (Ages 3 to 7) --Kimberly Heinrichs

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good Thomas Stories But..., February 25, 2003
    By A Customer
    This Thomas DVD is entertaining and features some very good stories, however there are some concerns about the content.

    In the extras section of the DVD, there is a game by the name of "Sodor Hall Of Fame" which features deatils on each of the engines. Good so far, but the game is just a promotion for other Thomas videos that are not selling too well- for each engine it says "watch my further adventures in..." and advertises other videos. This seems a rather shameless way to push sales and influence young minds...

    5.0 out of 5 stars FUN- The best Thomas video ever?, February 10, 2003
    We have all of the Thomas videos and this is possibly the best one. It is very cute- the stories are a lot of fun. We have had it for probably 4 days and it has been watched many, probably 50 times.
    If you have a Thomas fan in your house, this is a must-have. It has a lot of the newer characters, but does a great job of incorporating the old favorites along with them. The stories are original, funny and have a good message. I'm not even sick of it yet, just give me a few more days.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Thomas and Friends new video 2003, January 9, 2003
    A Kid's Review
    in episode Percy's Chocolate Crunch percy complains abot the water shortage for washdowns and grumbbles about the docks with the silly trucks who make him dirty by pulling him under the coal chute covering him in dirty dust. Later he goes to callent station to rest until harold the helicopter blows sinders and ashes over him so his driver decides to make him happy by taking the sugar trucks but percy doesn't know about the oil on the rails and accidentally crashes into the chocolate factory and destroyes all the machinery before coming out coverd in sticky chocolate and the other engines think it is very funny.

    plus brand new characters like salty harvey elizabeth plus the sodor construction company meets jack the digger who meets more new characters like:

    Byron the bulldozer
    kelly the crane lorry
    isabella the sentinal truck
    max the 40 ton dump truck
    oliver the excavator
    and alfie the green excavator
