Kids loved it though it was too long for a single viewing. Break it up into segments. "My favorite parts were when the dinos and animals were riding the trains, when the door kept opening and knocking things over, and the crazy train." They liked the sound effects when funny things happened. "We learned about a swing bridge and saw the machine knocking out the old ties."
Excellent production. A bit long for all but the serious train buff. Lots to learn in this program - how railroad ties are replaced, types of train engines, types of train cars, toy train guages, types of bridges, and lots more. Flows well. Uses both adult and child narrators. Good humor such as a part in which toy dinosaurs are riding the train, eating the buildings, drinking from the water tower, etc.
Learn about signals; how steam, electric and diesel engines work; the names of freight cars; how track is repaired; different types of bridges; ride the Dino Express. A mix of great music, bloopers, and exciting train action.
You too can become a film critic!
