DVD Reviews of I Love Toy Trains, Parts 1-3
DVD Review: Great for boys despite amateur production quality
Summary: 4 Stars
This DVD is a hit with my five-year-old boy. He's watched it several times already. Boys love trains, and there are plenty here to capture his imagination. Additionally, there are many cool train set toys that complement the trains in the video. If it weren't for this video I doubt we would ever see the variety of cool toys and trains that have been made. His favorite is the house that's on fire (with real smoke!) with the fire trucks that respond (with real water from the ladder hose!). There's a lot of fun here. My favorite is the train that launches missiles at a target balloon! I don't think they make toys like this anymore, so this alone is worth the price.
I also liked seeing the real train and then the exact same toy train in the same shot. The producers must have traveled to hundreds of retiree basements to shoot all the toy train video. This video has inspired my boy to ask for a larger bedroom so he can build a great big train set!
I took away one star because the production quality is very amateurish. I was going to cut these guys some slack but judging from the number of products and the length this company's been in business, there's no excuse. The editing is at times inexplicable and some of the cuts are too fast and too short. If you ever wondered why they give Academy Awards to film editors, watch something that's been poorly edited. Some of the clips are seemingly random and pointless (clowns?!). Also, the songs are good and catchy but the audio quality is unfortunately poor, so a redo of this video (in HD?) would do lots of justice and make this a classic for any boy.
