	Media	Author	Review
		William Thomas Empire	"Believe it or not, the true villains of the piece are, if fact, the 'special' effects (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Nell Minow Common Sense Media	"A story that will please its many fans, though they might find it a little hard to follow"
		Michael Thomson BBC	"Completely lacking the intriguing characterisation, wonder and zip of a good animated film (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Elvis Mitchell The New York Times	"It's like watching one of those live-action children's shows of the 70's, in which not much happens but it all takes place slowly and emphatically"
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"'Thomas and the Magic Railroad' is an inept assembly of ill-matched plot points (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"
