Thomas & Friends: New Friends for Thomas & Other Thomas Adventures

Just out from Anchor Bay Entertainment is the home video release of New Friends for Thomas. As well-made and charming as ever,
 

Sir Topham Hatt has rolled out the "red track", to welcome six new friends to the Island of Sodor.

The brilliant cast of characters in Thomas and Friends gets just a little bit bigger, with six new friends in these delightful adventures. A direct-to-video release from Anchor Bay Entertainment, "Thomas & Friends: New Friends for Thomas" tells the story of six new engines in six new shorts. This latest title lets kids discover the satisfaction of a job well done, and learn important messages about friendship, cooperation, and teamwork.

There's so much work to be done on the Island of Sodor, that more Really Useful Engines are needed to help out Thomas, James, Gordon, Percy, Henry, and the others. While there's tension between the new engines and old, in the end they all naturally become the best of friends.

Featuring the original British storyteller, Michael Angelis, the six new shorts on the video are all equally delightful, living up to the high standards set for this continuously popular series.

  • Gordon and Spencer - Gordon thinks he'll be able to escort the Duke and Duchess around on their tour of Sodor, until the shiny new engine Spencer comes. While he may be dubbed "the fastest engine in the world", he needs a little help when he gets too over confident.

  • Emily's New Coaches - Newcomer Emily is to move some coaches, but ends up transporting Thomas' instead of her own.

  • The Spotless Record - Arthur has "a spotless record" until a slightly jealous Thomas plays around, getting Arthur in a jam.

  • Peace and Quiet - Murdoch is sent to Sodor to help with the freight at the docks. Salty and Harvey try to be friendly to the new engine, but its not mutual. All Murdoch is looking for after his hard first day is peace and quiet. He has to stop and wait the next day, as the track ahead of him is covered with dozens of sheep. It's then he realizes that the other "chatterbox" engines are nearly as bad as he thought.

  • Jack Jumps In - Sir Topham Hatt has Thomas go get Jack the frontloader to the quarry on Sodor. Thomas helps Jack adjust, being new to the island. Jack helps
