The Brave Locomotive (2023)

This has something of the "Thomas the Tank Engine" - only with a more toe-tapping soundtrack - to it. The old engine "Linus" with it's bulging eyes is set to be replaced by the mighty "Samson" - a bigger, better, altogether whizzier piece of luxury engineering. This leaves the driver as despondent as his now unwanted old engine, and with the new powerhouse quicker and more efficient, is the day done? Well, perhaps not - eh? Maybe small is still niftier and better after all? This has quite a lively score to accompany the animation and it moves along engagingly. If there is a moral here, it's probably that we need to build better bridges! Good fun, this!
