Thomas & Friends: Blue Mountain Mystery the Movie

Blue Mountain Mystery revolves around Luke, a small green narrow gauge engine. He's afraid he'll be sent away if anyone finds out what he did. Through investigation and hard work, Thomas befriends Luke and learns what happened. After hearing Luke's story, Thomas sets off to find the yellow engine who fell off the boat.BMM is a major improvement from the poorly constructed "Day of the Diesels" and the awful "Misty Island Rescue". The dialogue is no longer forced and there is not exaggeration on words. The film also has some hidden easter eggs on the biggest of Thomas fans will notice. Such are: The Marklin Engine (in scrap form) at the Dieselworks, The "Rolling Eyes" effect, etc. It's also the first time the Narrow Gauge engines are seen in FULL CGI!The discs, on the other hand, are a mystery themselves. This is the first Thomas disc to be released in its native 23.976 frame rate. This allows for better quality overall throughout the film. But the main problem is the audio and the length.The film runs (on the disc) for 1:03:58. It's supposed to be 1:01:27. Somewhere along the line, the film was slowed down and can be noticed in certain audio sequences.The 5.1 DTS Mix is another problem. There is a lot of phasing and "channel-switching". This can be heard during the WORKING TOGETHER song in the beginning of the film. Listen carefully to the sound effects as well. It's painful to listen to a mix THIS bad.Overall, with all technical aspects aside, BMM is a must own for any Thomas fan. The kids, and even the adults, will enjoy this sweet tale of the little green engine.

The best Thomas movie and the Blu-ray pack is excellent.

love the plot, thomas finds a new friend who is hiding because he thought a pushed an engine into the sea, and thinks Sir Hat is going to send him to the smelters yard for punishment, but of course he didn't do anything wrong and it was all a misunderstanding ala Three's Company.Good music, fun characters. My son watches it at least 2 times per day. I am so glad he is off the Barney videos that I welcome the go go thomas song repeats with a smile.

My 3 and 4 year old boys LOVE Thomas and this movie did not disappoint. Great lessons learned about loyalty, honest friendship, truth and the importance of finding out the whole truth before you accuse anyone. I'm a 37 year old stay at home dad and I enjoyed watching it with my sons too. It is just over an hour long which is the right length for my boys. It kept their interest and they talked about it after the movie was done. Grab some popcorn and enjoy the show with your little ones!

I purchased this for my 2 1/2 year-old granddaughter and we watch it together. We both like it very much because it introduces Luke to the other engines and includes an interesting story. It has everything - mystery, suspense, friendship and teaches the importance of seeking out the truth. She has a either a firm grasp of reality or doesn't think anything can ever really go wrong, because she is never distressed when Thomas is in danger or in trouble with Sir Toppam Hatt. (And I don't mind watching it over with her.)

My boys enjoy watching this Thomas movie. It has some good points about helping others and the new engine, Luke, is a cute and friendly character.As an adult, I get a little frustrated that the story conflict is not very logical. The basic plot is that Luke feels guilty for causing an accident and has spent his life hiding in fear that he will be sent away. The problem is that really the workers, or Cranky the Crane, are responsible, if anyone is going to take the blame. Why doesn't anyone bring this up? Wouldn't Sir Toppum Hat wonder where the engine went that he had ordered, and then had to have repaired? He evidently never looked for him as he acts like he's never heard of Luke before. And the incident obviously wasn't a major catastrophe since Cranky barely remembers it when Thomas asks him for info. Just because the movie is made for kids doesn't mean the plot shouldn't make any sense. This is almost more of a story about letting guilt distort the truth and ruin your life, which is a little deep for young kids!But other than the plot issues, the movie has cute songs and good graphics and will be enjoyed by most young Thomas the Tank Engine fans.

I'm glad the Hit Era and the other bad eras in Thomas history ended right here.Awesome movie.10/10

My grandson who has Autism Enjoys watching Thomas and friend's videos.
