Press Release from HIT Entertainment

Jump on board with Thomas for a wonderfully wobbly and wheel spinning good time! The nation’s favourite little blue engine has bridges to cross and tracks to uncover in the exciting new adventures featured in brand new DVD Thomas & Friends: ‘Wobbly Wheels & Whistles’, set for release on Monday 31st January with a RRP of £12.99.

Featuring four fun-filled adventures, ‘Wobbly Wheels and Whistles’ promises to be a wheely good watch and introduces the new character Scruff the Scruncher.

In Toby and the Whistling Woods, Toby needs Thomas and James’ help to see that the Whistling Woods aren’t scary.  Victor’s willingness to please puts him in a tricky position when he bites off more work than he can chew in Victor Says Yes. Will Thomas be able to help his pal out with his work overload?  There is a trip to Misty Island when Thomas is sent to collect some precious Jobi Wood by the Fat Controller from Jumpin Jobi Wood, but will Ol Wheezy make a wobbly mess out of Thomas’ special delivery? And in Thomas & Scruff, will Thomas be able to persuade new engine Scruff to get cleaned up in time for his new job?

Thomas continues to delight and entertain children the world over and the fun doesn’t stop when the stories end as the DVD includes a host of extras. There’s the Sing-A-Long Song: 'Go Go Thomas’, the ‘Down at the Station’ live action film, a guess who puzzle and extra activities and fun with Mr Perkins. Each DVD also includes a free whistle so little ones can Peep Peep along with Thomas.

Rick Glankler, Senior Vice President, Global Brand Management – Thomas & Thomas Division, EMEA said: “Wobbly Wheels & Whistles is the first Thomas & Friends Home Entertainment release for 2011. It follows an amazing year for the brand in 2010 which saw Home Entertainment sales up 20% versus the prior year and we look forward to further success ahead”
