I Love Toy Trains 1, 2 & 3

.... But my boys love it and watch it again and again, and it is a welcome break from watching the Thomas the Tank engine videos again and again. My boys are 3 and 1, and will watch this over and over, and tell other people the silly jokes, and laugh and laugh. There are lots of crashes and right after them, the guy says "oh no!" and now anytime something happens at home, we say "oh no" in the same silly voice, and the boys fall over laughing....we know the jokes are stupid, but they appeal to very young kids, and they are simple enough that they can repeat them and get a kick out of being able to tell a joke. Did you know that a cow's favorite singer is MooDonna? Look at this video with the eyes of a 3 year old, and you will enjoy it too.

If you love trains, this is for you and your little guys!

These videos are practically identical to the "Toy Trains and Big Trains" series. They contain the exact same shots, but in different order. I felt ripped off when I purchased one of each, and got the same poor quality, bad editing, and scene after scene of the same train at different angles. I've also seen volumes 2 and 3, and they are almost identical to the first. How he did McComas come up with 8 videos? He used the scenes over and over again in each one.

My 22- month old vehicle-obsessed triplet boys are thoroughly entertained by this video. They have been watching for a couple of months now (as well as I Love Toy Trains- parts 2 & 3) and though it does get a bit dull or repetitious for me, they continue to enjoy it.

This is the 11th in a series of videos called "I Love Toy Trains" and I think it is the best yet! Jeff, who has been around since the first video has grown with each one and does a great job of being the M.C. He does magic tricks, talks about the Maui Ocean Center and shows a great deal of knowledge about the toy trains featured in the video. There are still the jokes and a puppet for extra entertainment, even flying saucers and aliens are included in the fun! Great addition to the I Love Toy Train series.

I couldn't stand volume 1--Lots of hokey songs, choppy flow from one scene to another. Mushy sound, hard to understand. Too much silly model stuff. Not enough trains. We really like volume 2--much more professional, good music, my son loves it. I don't know that I would buy a whole series of these though.

This video is great fun for Kids of all ages. More than just toy trains. It contains a great mix of toy trains, real trains, corny farm animal jokes, farm video, and great train songs. Songs include I've Been working on the rail road, wabash cannon ball, Dianah won't you blow your horn, and more. Great fun for all children and toy train fans.

Two things especially bother me about this video. One is they show toy missiles destroying train cars. The second is they stage a head-on crash between two trains. What's funny about that? Not only is it unnecessarily destructive, but then is presented as ENTERTAINMENT. Just great. My son first saw this video when he was two and burst into tears when the trains crashed (my fault - I should have previewed the tape first but what with the glowing reviews on the box I thought it harmless). I happen to have it out of the library now (hoped it was NOT the one I had seen before but was wrong) and am still totally unimpressed. I can't speak for the other "I Love Toy Trains" videos by this same producer, but this one I can happily live without. The only reasons I gave it one star is for the songs (except Old MacDonald, which is overdone) and the explanation of a saw mill.

アメリカで70万本をセールスし、10作まである人気ビデオシリーズ 「I Love Toy Trains」の1～3を１本にまとめたビデオです。 （３本分でこの値段ならお買い得かもしれません） 機関車、特急列車、牛、馬、ロケット、ミサイル、軍人など様々なものが実写や模型で出てきます。 映像が目まぐるしく変わるので、子供は飽きずに見ています。 ストーリーは無く、歌や説明もほとんどないので、英語の教材として購入するのであればお勧めできません。 ただし、模型が事故を起こす場面で「Oh No！」というセルフが出てくるのを子供も真似をするようになりました。ミルクをこぼしても「Oh No！」というようになり、「Oh No！」の使い方はマスターしたようです。

素敵な模型機関車と実写がミックスされた、とても楽しいビデオです。 何種類もの模型が登場し、機関車がどんな仕事をするのかなども、わかるような内容になっています。セリフはあまり無く、じっくり機関車の様子を堪能できる感じなので「英語教材に」と、お考えの場合はもしかすると期待と違うかもしれません・・。 トーマスともまた違う雰囲気で、乗り物好きのオトコノコなら絶対気に入ると思います。 何度か出てくる「Oh！No!」のセリフがコミカルでいい雰囲気出してます♪
