We were watching ABC Family tonight trying to get my toddler interested in trains by urging him to watch Polar Express. He seems pretty ambivalent to the whole Santa Claus, North Pole, and Polar Express thing, but he is working on pointing at trains and saying “train,” which to us as parents, is pretty cool. He already knows what cars are, mostly due to the fact that he watches Pixar’s Cars daily. Imagine our surprise when, during a commercial break for the Polar Express, we saw the Pixar Cars Toon “Mater the Greater” which is one of a three part series of Mater’s Tall Tales. The boy didn’t care all that much about a steam locomotive sliding across ice, but he was enthralled with the video below. Enjoy it while it lasts. YouTube may end up yanking it down.
