Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends - Thomas and Gordon and other stories [VHS]

Product Information

In both US dubs, it is said that Edward was happy because he had been so helpful, but he looks sad. The episode description for Edward and Gordon states The Fat Controller is very pleased with Edward, but it was his driver and fireman who were very pleased. I hope you are sorry and understand that you are not so important after all. We have a new tank engine called Percy who helps pull coaches, and Thomas and Edward have worked the main line nicely. But I will let you out now if you promise to be good." The first time Thomas' suspicious face is used and the first appearance of his grinning face with a wider mouth and higher eyebrows which would be used mostly in the fifth series only along with his regular grinning face.

All aboard for loads of fun and mischief with Thomas and his friends on the Island of Sodor in this amazing collection of 16 favourite episodes voted for by you. Whistles and Sneezes and Tender Engines actually have Henry as the main character. However, Gordon is a supporting character in both episodes. The whistle pattern Thomas makes when he wakes Gordon up for the second time is used in Mister Moose's Fun Time whenever Thomas' segment in that show is coming up next. The DVD was originally released exclusively as part of the Best of Collection DVD boxset in October 2003. It later was given an individual release in February 2004. It's full steam ahead once again for Thomas, the little blue engine with the short stumpy funnel, short stumpy boiler and short stumpy dome. Share 18 exciting adventures with Thomas and his friends, Gordon, Henry, James, Percy, Edward, Toby, Annie and Clarabel the coaches, and of course, the Fat Controller. Thomas's special friend, story-teller Ringo Starr, says "Thomas is a smashing little engine - he's Number One and never lets anyone forget it!"Can Thomas persuade the diesels and steam engines to settle their differences and save their Island and their home? |One Monday morning, Gordon is resting in a siding while noting to himself that being an important engine can sometimes be very tiring. Henry suddenly pulls up, rudely waking Gordon with his whistle and calling him names. Gordon is very cross, believing that an engine like him, who has never had an accident, should be respected. After Percy comes and asks Gordon if jammed whistles and burst safety valves count as accidents, Gordon replies that those things could happen to any engine, unlike Henry who came off the rails. Edward's Exploit - Gordon, James and Henry are teasing Edward for being old, but later an accident on an important journey shows just how strong Edward can be.

He's faster than a speeding Bertie, more powerful than any other locomotive, and able to climb steep hills on a single tender of coal - who is he? Due to portions of the script being taken verbatim from the original book, the narrator says that James and Henry pulled Gordon out of the ditch but only James can be seen.

The close-up shots of the Fat Controller scolding Cranky after the storm were filmed on 8 October 1997.

On the Endeavour release when the credits for Thomas Comes to Breakfast come to an end, a frame of the intro for Daisy appears for a few seconds before the actual intro starts. This also happens on the Roadshow re-release most likely due to the reusing of the master tapes. Daisy - Thomas is in trouble. The Fat Controller sends for Daisy, a diesel railcar to help run his Railway. Daisy is spoilt and hard to please - as everyone soon discovers. In the close-up of Percy, his coupling chain is up but in the next shot it is suddenly dangling downwards. As Cranky tips over and falls, the straining metal sound is heard in the US and other international dubs.

Join Thomas, Cranky, Bill and Ben as well as the all new Salty, Harvey and Elizabeth along with old favourites Percy, Harold and the Fat Controller as they get into new and exciting adventures.
