Get the kiddies on board and lets learn about Fast Trains and Airplanes. This is a good watch for children and even the adults might learn a thing or two. The children will climb into a imaginary cab with Engineers Gus and Sam and then will go up to about 100 mph. The planes are awesome to as Captain Cary and you go fly all over. So give it a whirl while the little ones learn a whole lot about Fast Train and Airplanes.

Well done. I could do without the "magic" genie but other than that these are excellent! My kids like them and learn from them.

Movie Reviews
Great movie!

"My son wants to watch this movie ALL of the time. It's kind of cute, with some catchy, you'll be humming them all day songs! We just ordered all of their other ALL ABOUT movies because we were impressed with this one. And that price for a DVD that my son loves....it's great. You can affod all 4 of them easily! Have fun!"
Rename this DVD!

"The DVD should be called "Something about Trains & Planes". There are hardly any fast trains in this DVD. This product seems to have been filmed in the early eighties & the only fast train they show is the Amtrak Acela express. The audio is also extremely poor. Extended footage of model trains, a parade in some town, and Santa distributing candies to kids from the back of a train!
Despite all this my son who is 3 loves it! He would give it 10 stars!"
Title is misleading

"While the video/DVD does focus on trains, they do not show any real FAST TRAINS for more than a couple of minutes. In fact, the movie shows more of a parade on a model train set than it does any fast trains. Once again, someone trying to make money off of a title, while showing very little knowledge about trains or railroads. You get what you pay for!"
Can't beat it for price

"I am a mother of a 3 yo train fanatic and a 2 yo plane afacianodo. Both love the video, and for the price you can't beat it. Sure there is better photography and narration out there, but my sons ask for this video as much as their Disney and Thomas videos. They enjoy the "reality" of the video and I would highly recommend it for any child who enjoys trains/planes."
Fun DVD for little ones!

"NO, there are few fast trains in this, but the slow trains are the more interesting ones visually, anyhow. We LOVE this DVD! My 21 month old son has now requested it 4 times in a row just today, and has requested to watch it everyday at least once for the past week. There's little dialog, which is good for him because he doesn't understand it anyhow. The model train sets are neat, as well. It's not meant to be highly educational, and is perfect for what we wanted; good visual appeal. The airplane side is a bit more educational, but still very visual.
We bought it more for the airplanes, but the trains captured my son's heart most.
This is just a fun visual view of trains and planes, not meant to teach your child all about them, despite the title. Perhaps if the title were different another reviewer wouldn't have taken exception to it. I'm not a big fan of the term "all about" in regards to anything, myself.
Maybe all our reviews will help others place if this DVD will be right for their child."
