Review: KIDS WILL LOVE IT! (Warning! There are some spoilers in this review) - This is definitley one of the better Thomas movies. It is like a musical and has very cute and catchy songs that any child would love. There is some humor in this movie as well. It is a bright, light and happy Thomas movie. There is only one scene my 4 year old son did not like and that involved a train called Vinnie trying to push Phillip off the tracks. Although my son did not like the mean engine, it was actually a good talking point and started a conversations about Bullies. Thomas, of course, saves the day and pulls Vinnie away with the help of Ashima. This is also a good lesson about standing up for someone that is being bullied. The rest of the lessons are about being yourself and knowing your strengths. Also, good sportsmanship is shown through Thomas switching tracks with Ashima because her track was blocked. He let her win because it would not have been fair. Overall, my son loves it because of all the fun and catchy songs, and I love it because of the good morals and lessons. But parents beware...your child will be asking for a Ashima engine!
Review: A happy, non-scary Thomas movie! - Adding to the chorus of positive reviews. My kid loved this movie. Kind of funny that it's a musical, meaning the trains actually sing in this one (the other movies all have songs, but they aren't sung by the engines). Should be fine for even the most sensitive kids, though one train is bullied near the end, though SPOILER Thomas and a new friend help rescue him--my son is extremely sensitive but was fine with this movie. Overall one of the better Thomas films, along with King of the Railway. None of the weird dark stuff of the recent treasure/pirate-themed Thomas movie or Day of the Diesels or other "scary" Thomas & Friends movies.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Entertaining story/music and (finally!) a great female lead character!
*by S***1 on September 26, 2016*

My daughter is an on-again-off-again Thomas fanatic, and the release of "The Great Race" has definitely moved us into the "on-again" camp. She loves this movie, and the new engine, Ashima, in particular. The Thomas brand has been criticized for not doing enough to emphasize female characters and appeal to female fans. But we've been to train shows and Thomas events and there are plenty of girls interested in this show. While there are other female trains, Ashima is the first one that my daughter (2 years old) asks for by name and that I think she can identify as female. Maybe that matters, maybe it doesn't, but I definitely don't think it hurts. The movie is about an hour long, and having been subjected to probably hundreds of hours of Thomas shows and movie features, this is one of the better releases. It definitely has a more "musical" feel than some of the other movies. I won't say the quality of the musical numbers is "good" by an adult standard, but they all have a very positive message and definitely become catchy over time. I worried "The Great Race" was just going to be a huge character dump as a way to sell a dozen new trains, but it's legitimately entertaining, and makes me wish that Ashima became a series regular much like they did when Hiro was introduced.
