Season 19: Episode ? - A Cranky Christmas

Released: Thomas' Christmas Carrol DVD

Written By: Mark Huckerby & Nick Ostler

Summary

All the engines were busy getting ready for Christmas. Thomas delivered salt to Tidmouth Town Hall to stop people slipping on the pavement. Sir Topham Hatt was there and told Thomas to go to the docks and get a Christmas crate with red stripes. Meanwhile at the docks Cranky was busy at the docks, then he dropped the crate Thomas was supposed to collect.

Cranky hid the crate instead of giving it to Thomas. Thomas raced back to Tidmouth Town Hall and told Sir Topham Hatt the bad news. Sir Topham Hatt told the Mayor there was a delay with the surprise delivery. Thomas said he would go back to Brendom Docks to search for it. When Thomas got to the docks he searched for the crate, but every time he got close to finding it, Cranky moved more crates to find it.

But soon Salty found it and it was loaded on Thomas' flat bead. Thomas couldn't stop when he got to the Tidmouth Town Hall because he was out of sand, so Edward put some on the track and he stopped just in time. The package flew in the air and landed on the lawn undamaged.

In the crate there was  everything needed to build an ice rink. Soon everyone was having fun skating. Sir Topham Hatt and the Mayor thanked Thomas for getting the crate, then Thomas said he still thought Sir Topham Hatt needed a sand box to stop him from slipping.

At the Docks Thomas told Cranky, Porter, and Salty the story about what happened with the crate. Then Cranky said he dropped it, and asked if they could let it go because it was Christmas. They said yes, then Salty sang we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Cranky new year, and they all laughed.

My Thoughts

Well, another great season 19 episode. I really like the background music on these episode's. It's also nice that different character's are being used more often, and that Thomas isn't the main character in every episode anymore. That's it for episode review's from the Thomas' Christmas Carrol DVD.

Summary

It was snowing at Tidmouth Sheds that night, and James wasn't back yet, but Spencer had to spend the night at Tidmouth Sheds because the bridge to the mainland was broken. Spencer told the engines that he saved the Duke from the abominable snow man, and the engines laughed, but Henry was worried.

The next day Henry and Spencer were at the yard, and Sir Topham Hatt said the bridge to the mainland was still broken, so he said Spencer could help Henry with his train. The snow was causing problem's on the road's to, and Sir Topham Hatt was running late, so he decided to take a short cut, but his car was soon stuck. Sir Topham Hatt tried to catch Emily, but had to luck.

Meanwhile Spencer was still trying to scare Henry about the abominable snow man, but it was just Emily coming by. Sir Topham Hatt tried chasing down Henry and Spencer next, but he had to cross a bulls' field and got chased out. Spencer tried to scare Henry again about the abominable snow man, but it was just Thomas with Sir Topham Hatt's mother, she said the abominable snow man was nonsense.

Henry got scared again, but it was Rockey rescuing James. Once Henry and Spencer delivered there cars Spencer decided to go back to the shed and not help Henry anymore, but then he saw Sir Topham Hatt covered in snow, and thought it was the abominable snow man, so he backed up but then his valve broke.

Sir Topham Hatt fell over and the snow came off, then Thomas came by with his mother, and they left. Spencer asked Henry if the abominable snow man was gone, and Henry said yes. That night at the shed's Spencer told the story, as if he was the one who saved Henry, but all the engine's knew it was Henry who saved Spencer. Then Thomas told Spencer not to let the abominable bed bug's bite, and all the engine's laughed.

My Thoughts

This episode was a bit repetitive when Henry and Spencer were hauling the train, but it had good background music and close up effect's.

Season 19: Episode ? - Diesel's Ghostly Christmas(Double-Length Episode)

Released: Thomas' Christmas Carrol DVD

Written By: Becky Overton

Summary:

It was the busiest time of the year for the engine's. Thomas went at Knapford Station, and Sir Topham Hatt was there, and he had twisted his ankle. Thomas asked around for an engine to take Sir Topham Hatt, but had no luck. At Brendom Docks Cranky was having trouble with the Christmas Tree. Diesel showed up at the docks with a train, but wouldn't help Cranky. Salty's engine started working again, but he went to far with the flatbed and the tree fell on him.

Paxton came to pic up the Christmas Tree and take it to Ulfstead Castle, but it was to heavy. Diesel still wouldn't help. Paxton took the tree himself, but he soon crashed because the train broke. Diesel came by Paxton, but wouldn't Paxton back on. That evening at the Diesel Works, Emily and Thomas pretended to be a ghost to scare Diesel in to helping the other engine's, and told him to go to Brendom Docks that night.

At the Docks Salty was on the boat pretending to be the ghost of Christmas. Diesel was scared away when Salty told him all the thing's he wasn't helpful with. After Diesel left the Docks, Paxton was waiting in the tunnel and scared Diesel again, telling him to help the other engines and think about why it was good. 

Diesel was in such a hurry to get away he didn't see the damaged track from where Paxton had crashed, and he came off the rails. The next morning Thomas went to Whiff's wast dump, and dumped garbage all over himself. Thomas scared diesel pretending to be the ghost of Christmas by telling him if he didn't help other engine's he would be left alone forever.

Meanwhile at Ulfstead Castle all the engines and gusts were arriving for the Erals Christmas lunch. Thomas went to rescue Diesel with Rockey, and Diesel went to take Rocky back to the Sodor Search & Rescue Centre. Meanwhile Thomas went to pic up the passenger's and took them to Ulfstead Castle.

Diesel came to Knapford Station, and Sir Topham Hatt was there, with no one to take him to Ulfstead Castle, so Diesel took him. That evening at Ulfstead Castle, Paxton told Thomas that his ghost plan had worked, and that Diesel was now a helpful engine. Diesel said Merry Christmas and everyone laughed.

My Thoughts: 

This was a great and funny episode with good background music, but it was still a bit repetitive like "The Beast of Sodor" was. It's really nice that there are long 17 minute episode's now, and they seem to be making season 5 type spooky stories again, and I like that.

Series 19, Episode ?: Snow Place Like Home

Released: Thomas' Christmas Carrol DVD

Written By: Lee Pressman

Summary

It was snowing heavily on Sodor, and it was blocking a lot of lines. At the Sodor Steamworks, Kevin loved looking at the snow, but Victor told Kevin the the snow causes trouble and that he hated the show. Emily was at the Steamworks waiting for her new piston rods, but they were stuck in the siding at the depot.

Kevin said he would get the piston rods, but Victor said no. Kevin went outside in the snow anyway, but soon got stuck next to the Steamworks and a snow drift fell on him from the roof. At Knapford Station Sir Topham Hatt told Thomas to rescue the car with Emily's piston rods and take it to the steam works.

Meanwhile Victor was looking for Kevin, and he wasn't at the Steamworks, so Victor went to the depot to find him. Thomas picked up Emily's piston rods at the depot, but just as Thomas left Victor got there. Kevin worked his crane arm out of the snow drift and Thomas soon found and rescued him.

After Thomas found Kevin he went out to find Victor, he found him near the depot, and told him that Kevin was back at the Steamworks all along. Back at the Steamworks, Victor told Kevin he was his best friend. Then Emily wondered if she could get her new piston rods, and Kevin said he would, but Thomas and Victor said no, and everyone laughed.

My Thoughts

This was a great episode with good background music, and the snow flying by the effect was good to. It's odd that Victor would even think that Kevin could get as far as the depot in a blizzard, but I guess he did just to make the episode longer. :)
