Inaccurate!

I'm really annoyed that the movie about station Jim wasn't set in Slough! Station Jim was a real dog, and you can see him stuffed on platform five of Slough Station.

I mean, I know Slough isn't the quaintest of towns, but it's horribly inaccurate to make a movie about our one hero not set in our town! It's like making a movie where Batman fights crime in Metropolis instead of Gotham.

They could've filmed it somewhere else and at least pretended it was in Slough.

I personally thought that the film itself was a little too quaint, much too "hollywood" Victorian england, and not gritty enough. I know that it's supposed to be a family film, but still, it just seemed a bit weak in all fields to me.

Great film

A wonderful film - a bit kitsch but when taken in the context of a piece of period entertainment for kids, it's great!

The story is a about a railway station an orphanage, the orphans and their new young teacher, a mean property developer who arranges for a fire at the orphanage so he can re-develop it, a station porter wanting to be stationmaster, and a Jack Russell called Jim who saves Queen Vic and the orphanage.

Shame it's not available on DVD - far far better than many "kids" films made at 200 times the budget (e.g. Spy kids..)

My daughter wants to know why train stations don't look like that any more. me too...

Lovely, lovely Victorian era tale

What a wonderful movie. There is no female nudity (what a relief), no cursing, no coarse American culture in it. There are some scary moments in it that might frighten children and frightened me somewhat, but after all of that there is a happy ending, which is refreshing. The film quality is surprisingly clear and realistic. The children are adorable. The trained dog is amazing. Thomas Sangster is so very adorable as Henry, an orphan who attaches to Jim. According to a special feature included on the DVD, which you should read, this is based on a real dog that did live and perform at a railway station to raise money for an orphanage. I highly recommend this film to people who love dogs, Victoriana, British good manners and 19th century costumes.

Wildly inaccurate

Supposed to be set on the GWR but not a GWR loco in site. A little verisimilitude would be appreciated. A chocolate box view of Victorian England. A pleasant diversion for kids but hardly a lesson in railway history.

Enchanting

This enchanting tale of a small railway station in the English countryside will appeal to adults and children alike. There is plenty of plot going on with an orphanage that must be saved (echoes of The Cider House Rules), a blossoming romance (featuring Laura Fraser - yum yum), and an impending visit to the station by HRH Queen Victoria. And it's all held together by a feisty little Jack Russell called Jim who always saves the day and will charm the pants off of anyone who watches it. Wonderful.

Curiosidades
Although there was a dog named Station Jim that was brought to Slough Station in Slough, Berkshire, England on the Great Western Railway as a 3 month old puppy in 1894 and was put to work performing tricks to collect money for the railway's Widows and Orphans Fund, the BBC movie dog and story line are not based on the true story.

Citas
[talking about Harriet Collins]
Bob Gregson: What does she look like?
Henry: Well, she reminds me of an Armstrong Class 592 (steam locomotive).
Bob Gregson: So she's attractive, then?
