Henry's Forest

This episode hits all the emotional beats it needs. Henry gets more depth as a character, the writing is so powerful and cleverly set up. The payoff at the end was so heartwarming. The score is gorgeous as well. This episode sums up Thomas as a whole: great characters who stick up for each other, meaningful plots/stories that have depth and substance, incredible model work and set pieces, intense action sequences, and overall, just good writing and storytelling. It's such a feel good story that will leave you feeling all warm and mushy inside, without being too sentimental. One of the best episodes.

This is without a doubt, my favorite episode of all time in Thomas and Friends. I think it's because of realistic sets of the forest and the moral of the episode which is about how indanger forests can be. Over the years, there has been many wildfires in America and some other countries like Australia.

In January 2020, there was a massive wildfire spreading around in Australia and hardly anyone could get out. It made me feel so bad because of all the inicent people and animals had to try to escape such tragedy and it was a disaster. I can't imagine how Henry would've felt when that was happening.

The lesson, the music, and the narration (both US and UK) was also what I love about the episode, especially the ending. Who cares of what Awdry said about the episode? He did some unrealistic things himself in the RWS books. In my opinion, this is the best episode of the entire series.

This episode is very peaceful and endearing. I love the themes that play throughout the episode and I love how natural it truly is. Henry truly loves the forest as we know. You'll truly empathize with him in this episode. Poor Henry, having to see the forest damaged by the storm. I'd feel sad if something special to me was ruined. However, Sir Topham Hatt has a solution and new 🌲's are planted. The forest is a nice place to visit for peace and quiet as you can see. Henry likes peace and quiet. I don't know about you but the sound of children's laughter sounds very sweet and jolly. Well done Toby, Terence and Trevor for your hard work in restoration of the forest. I love the ending theme if this episode, it's very peaceful.

Everything about this episode is so beautifully and perfectly done, from the music to the narration. Has a very good moral too, which illustrates the beauty, but also fragility of the natural world.

This is probably my favourite episode of the whole show, and it's one that you genuinely feel good after watching.
