My 3 year old loves this movie! After watching this movie for the 10th time on netflix I thought i would just buy it. I read some of the reveiws, and was surprised at how many moms are giving this movie such a poor rating (but their kids love it) all because of 10 mins of the "nightmare train". The first time my son watched it he got scared yes, but all i had to say was little engine will do it buddy. He got all excited and started cheer little engine on. Now we watch it he says here come the mean train. Good luck everyone!!!!!!
