I was really disappointed with "Watch Thomas and the Magic Railroad". The storyline was confusing and choppy, with multiple plotlines that didn't seem to connect. The animation felt outdated and didn't capture the magic of the original Thomas and Friends series. Overall, it felt like a poor attempt at cashing in on the success of the franchise without putting in the effort to create a compelling and well-crafted film.
2) Michael - 2 stars
I found "Watch Thomas and the Magic Railroad" to be a letdown compared to the beloved Thomas and Friends TV show. The characters lacked depth, and the dialogue was uninspired. The film seemed to rely heavily on special effects to distract from the weak plot and lackluster storytelling. It just didn't live up to my expectations and left me feeling unsatisfied.
