    Why is Disney picking up this foreign junk rather than developing its own train centered preschool CGI series?

    I dont think Chuggington is junk. Its actually pretty good, cool music for the kids, good life lessons. My son loves it....that\'s all he wants to watch

    Its a pretty well done show. If it was Disney produced it probably would be junk.
