My thoughts:
The movie was incredibly cute! I loved that Jim Cummings was the voice for Rusty. He is voice for Pooh and Tigger also. Everything had a great look, the trains even moved with a happy little sway. It was very touching to finally have a main character that is a girl! How many girl trains do you know of? I know of two, Emily and now Little Engine. My niece (7 yrs. old) and nephew (9yr. old) watched the movie with us. They were completely glued to the TV! The best part about the movie was the message “I think I can” and what I loved even more was that the trains never chanted that saying once. I was sure I was going to hear “I thin I can, I think I can, I think I can” during the entire movie, but I didn’t! Overall this was a great movie and my son loves watching all the ChooChoos.

My daughter, whose 2 children I babysit for, loves the movie, “How To Train Your Dragon” – she became enthralled with it while watching with her just-5-yesterday son. They saw it at the theater 3 times, then countless times since the DVD came out. We all love it! My 3yr old grand daughter loves it too.
