my 1 year old be obsess with this movie . we have watch it at least 20 time and my son want to watch it everyday . he love the train and the silliness of the whole movie . i must say that i do not get sick of it like most movie you watch over and over . my 2 other son ( age 4 and 8 ) also enjoy it and especially the character mr. c. jr. ( michael e. rodgers be hilarious ) . this be one of the few movie that my child enjoy and i do not go crazy watching . i think it be also good for the kid to watch since it contain very little violence . it also have the added bonus of be film at the strasburg railroad use the very same train that we ride on every year .
