Thomas & Friends: Blue Mountain Mystery - The Movie [Blu-ray]

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.

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

We LOVE this movie. Like many others, my almost-three-year-old asks for this weekly! We snuggle up on the couch and talk about all the characters and the story. It is a great opportunity to talk about decision-making, forgiveness, listening, and being a good friend. Sad it is not free on Prime, but we bought it since it is such a huge part of our routine. Highly recommend.

If you are fan of Thomas and Friends you will absolutely love this. This is classic Thomas at it best. This is absolutely a 1000 times better then the 2d rubbish All Engines Go.

I always loved watching these with my sons. All of a sudden, I would be sitting down and watching it with them. Then are engagin and sweet.

My 3 year old loves this and watched it many times in one day after getting it. It is an hour long.Story would be boring for older children, 3-6 is about right, not 8-9 year olds.As an adult, it's not that interesting. 5* from him, 2* from me.As an adult, you prefer the originals, and this seems over the top, but kids tend to prefer the modern versions with better graphics.Arrived to Chile quite fast, a week or so.There is a special feature with games and songs which I haven't tried yet.

This DVD is typical of Thomas movies. My son loves it

We bought this as my son is called Luke and the train Luke is in this one. Nice little film for any child who like Thomas.Parents might not like it as much as the originals, it's just not the same without Ringo.

I bought this for my nephew and i have to say what an amazing addition to the Thomas family!.The story is great really well thought out with lots happening, without giving too much away there are 4 new additions to Sodor,and it also explains how Victor came to to the island of Sodor. I thought this was alot better than Day of the Diesels which i thought had quite a menacing feel for younger audiences. This is a must for any Thomas fan. I would recommend this 100%. Buy this you will NOT be disappointed!

My 3 year old son is a Thomas fanatic, and this, for him, was the icing on the cake. The story is nice and simple, but not trivial. It has all the old characters, plus a few new engines. It has good animation, and links to other stroies as well. The 'Bonus' material. for once is good as well. If you have a Thomas lover in the family, then this will keep them happy for some time

Speedy delivery. Arrived before eta. Great for Thomas fans of all ages. My 18 month old son loves it as does his 56 year old grandfather (my son’s full-time carer whilst I’m at work). Definitely one of my dad’s faves!

Got this for my son, he loves it
