In THE POLAR EXPRESS, live action and animation have merged seamlessly, resulting in sparkling super-realism. A landmark technique Zemeckis and his Sony Pictures Imageworks team call "Performance Capture" perfectly suits the tenor of this wondrous children's Christmas story by Chris Van Allsburg.

You can add this one to the shows you'll make sure your children and grandchildren see every year. A wonderful story about a boy who is starting to 'grow out' of Christmas and no longer believe in the magic of Christmas. He discovers along the Polar Express to the North Pole about Christmas and the thruth about Santa Clause. A very cute story that every child should experience! | |

In the movie there are singing and dancing waiters that serve hot chocolate they are so delightful. You will just love this scene. When the train is going down hill it shows it from an angle that makes you feel like you are on a roller coaster ride. It is so much fun to watch. This movie has a moral as well. It is to believe. If you dont beleive you wont be able to experience it. There is a bell in this movie and if you dont beleive you cant hear the bell jingle. As soon as you believe you will hear the bell. All of the kids that are on the polar express all learn a valuable lesson. Each child learns a different lesson. Not only will your kids love this movie you will too! | |

We enjoyed the actor Tom Hanks and the others that supplied the character voices. The visual special effects, coupled with the crisp sound on a big screen made viewing this movie a treat for us. | |

It is also great for kids (even though I do not have any)...I originally saw this movie when my best friend brought it over (she has the movie)- and I loved it!! So, I decided that I too wanted to purchase it. It's especially fun to watch at Christmas time. Highly recommended!! | |

We ordered it so that she can see it anytime, not just at Christmas. It is a great movie for big kids and adults as well. | |
