Mighty Express

This show deserves more love on IMDB. My 2 year old really enjoys it. The characters are fun. It's not Sesame St as far as education but the characters learn lessons and the music is catchy. I like that there is a balance with the talking trains and human characters. I can't believe people complained that its not realistic. I thought the whole point of cartoons was escapism. This is why you talked to your kids so they understand what's real and what isn't. The colors used to create the show are very vivid. Bonus points for an inclusive cast that attempts to represent America. I am looking forward to season 2 because we already played the current season many times.

Yes is a little unrealistic or maybe really unrealistic but who cares, is sweet and he love the show is no made for old kids or teenagers is more made for kids around 2 and 5 years.

My review of the show, which was made in October, was taken down from the site for some reason. Well, I will not be silenced any longer. It's my opinion and I'm entitled to have it. Anyways, on with the review:

As the year is coming to a close, and I have watched almost all of the cartoons that came out this year, I have finally found what I consider to be the worst kids cartoon of 2020: Mighty Express.

This show, made by the people behind Paw Patrol, is a shoddy attempt to compete with the popularity of Thomas the Tank Engine. As bad as the modern seasons of Thomas are, they at least have more nuance and depth than whatever the heck Mighty Express is. Heck, even Chuggington was better than this piece of excrement.

The show is very loud and frenetic with a lot of action, bright colors, and sound effects. The show is also very unrealistic. The thing that I love about classic Thomas is that it adhered to railway realism, seeing as the Reverend W. Awdry was a huge rail buff himself. But on this show, the characters have overly fancy tools and regularly jump off the rails. The characters are all bland and forgettable as well. I can't name a single trait about any of the characters other than they're cheerful and kind.

This show is so toyetic it hurts. Then again, it was made by a toy company. Please avoid this show, it's really bad. It openly talks down to children and has no educational value whatsoever. If you want a good train show, I recommend seasons 1-7 and seasons 17-21 of Thomas the Tank Engine. It's one of my favorite shows, but I can't say the same for the trainwreck (badumtsh) that is Mighty Express.

Yet once again the North Americans copy a successful program from the UK and make a mess of it.

Stick to Thomas The Tank Engine far better & more entertaining stories to male you kid think and just sit watching the screen and getting dumber by the second.

It's a super generic kids show. It has trains. Not good not bad.

If you've ever seen super wings it's kinda like that. The 'heroes' get themselves in their own trouble. No real lessons are taught.

Was advertised as from the creators of paw patrol. It's a let down from that. Paw patrol is even entertaining as an adult.

For kid train showed you can't go wrong with Thomas and friends. Chuggington is far simpler with clearer lessons. If you want over the top and way too ambitious for a kids show then robot trains on Amazon prime is for you.
