Here's a quick synopsis so you know what I'm talking about: Chili, the little blue switch engine, desperately wants to pull a train of her own but she is mocked for being too little by the mean dispatcher (in the form of a talking control tower). When the engine pulling the Birthday Train breaks down, Chili see's her chance to sneak past the sleeping tower and pull the train over the mountain herself. The results are nearly catatrophic as a storm washes away part of a bridge and the caboose plumets into the ravine. After the train get buried in an avalanche, Chili gives it one more try and saves the day.

In the original book, the little blue engine doesn't know about the broken-down train until she stumbles upon it. She agrees to help out of kindness even though she's not entirely sure she can do it. In this video, the message is entirely reversed. Chili wants to pull the train out of self interest in order to prove herself and she is quite sure of herself. She defies authority to do what she wants, at great peril to herself and the train. Do you want your 4-year-old to sneak past you and cross the street without supervision, just because she really believes she can do it? This video says it's OK to do that.

Not to leave bad enough alone, we also have a tower that yells and a big sister that taunts her little brother. What about "I think I can?" It's in there, but so distorted as to be unrecognizable.

This video does teach one good lesson, though: never trust a video based on a beloved book love until you've viewed it yourself.
