The Little Engine That Shouldn't Have
My children really love the Little Engine that Could story. I have bought them a variety of items related to the story; even a first edition of the orignal book. I saw this on Ebay and thought we might enjoy it. However, I knew I was taking a gamble.
I was a little suspicious when I didn't see any re-releases on DVD. Well, it was horrible, just dreadful! It was a very dark version of the story. First, the big sister in the story is over the top mean to her younger brother who believes in the Little Engine. Next, the Little Engine "sneaks-off" to pull the Birthday train. Finally, the mountain is very dark, scary, and treacherous that the Little Engine crosses. At one point you are lead to believe that the train and toys might all have been destroyed by a breaking bridge. Too much peril for such a sweet, simple story.
