The first memories of children of an era in their minds are stories and picture books and cartoons derived from them, and the "Thomas and Friends" series is one of the most popular cartoons among children today, the blue sea surrounded by Toto Island, the endless fields and heart-warming beaches, and the trains on the railroad tracks roaring by, these images make up the feelings of this generation of children. Audley also could not imagine that the "little train" story he told to his sick son, the first book of the "Railway Series" published with the encouragement of his wife, and then like a big tree growing thick branches, in 2009 "Thomas and Friends" came to China and became an indispensable little friend to accompany the children to grow up, this time "The Great Race of Thomas's Big Movie" is about to land on the big screen, under the wonderful visual effects, the speeding locomotive will be more fascinating.
Why Thomas and his friends can knock on the hearts of children in so many countries, you must know that most of the animated protagonists are adapted from animals, in addition to the fascinating plot of Thomas's series, they must have captured the most primitive nature of children. First, the children's love for cars, especially boys, from childhood love to play with car toys, and Thomas and friends are a long train, the child's imagination is also stretched, especially girls will also fall in love with the colorful colors and different styles of the train; second, children from a young age have a heart to travel to the world, Thomas and friends drive through one station after another, next to the changing scenery will let children have a sense of substitution for traveling by train; third, children are competitive, like to compete for the first place, Thomas and his friends competed again and again to keep the children's attention focused.
Thomas's big movie can be described as an upgraded version of The Thomas cartoon series, the story takes place to expand to the vast world beyond Toto Island, adding new locomotive characters from all over the world, such as India's Aixia, Brazil's Raul, Russia's Ivan, Australia's Shane, France's Adrian, Germany's Frida, Italy's Gina and Belgium's Axel, of course, China's Yongbao, this is where Thomas's big movie is entertaining and educational. From the shape of the locomotive, children can perceive the culture of different countries and lay a solid foundation for children to look at the world when they grow up.
At present, there are many training classes that will shape children's values and outlook on life at a very small age, in fact, children need to establish a concept of victory and defeat, teach children to look down on victory and defeat, as long as they try their best, the game is a way, but friendship can last forever. The child's growth process is indispensable to setbacks, failure and then win is his growth, "Thomas the Great Movie of the Great Race" Thomas wants to participate in the train race, but its shape and speed have been ridiculed by other locomotives, Thomas tried to change the appearance, but all ended in failure, Thomas gradually realized that only self-confidence can win, but its race road is not destined to be a smooth road, Thomas is not as strong as other animation protagonists, In this way, it can have affinity between small children's groups, and also enlighten children how to look at the game, each child's growth process is like a railway track, although they are parallel to each other, but they all have their own tracks, they do compete with who is fast and who is slow, but your train is headed for your future, firmly moving forward on your own track, no one is amazing.
