Thomas & Friends: Sodor Sings Together
What's the Story?
In THOMAS & FRIENDS: SODOR SINGS TOGETHER, Thomas, Sandy, Diesel and Bruno can't wait for the night's Sodor Sings festival. They are busy with preparations; speeding across the island to deliver seats, food and lights. But when an unexpected incident causes all the town's lights to stop working, Thomas must get replacements. Without traffic lights, some trains get lost and Nia's surprise shipment goes missing. It's up to Thomas, the Number 1 engine, and his friends to get everything back on track.
Is It Any Good?
This vibrant special has catchy songs and thrilling train races that young kids who know the characters will love. But Thomas & Friends: Sodor Sings Together has little appeal for viewers unfamiliar with the franchise. It has positive messages and it's mostly harmless, but there's little that makes it unique. As part of an extensive franchise with many other titles, it's not all that memorable.
