The film visual effects were a bit advanced (for its time) in an animated feature, with plenty of beautiful CG rendered in a Christmas wonderland. Zemeckis keeps the feature light and kid-friendly, keeping the child-like wonderment of Christmas front and center. And for the record, this is a retrospect review as I saw it in theaters when it was first released back in 2004.īased off of the children’s picture book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg (the author of other famous children’s picture books Jumanji, and Zathura which both have been turned into films as well), The Polar Express is directed by Robert Zemeckis, who’s known for directing such films as Forest Gump, Castaway, and The Back to the Future trilogy. But let me tell you about The Polar Express and my thoughts about this movie. There are plenty of other ones out there that I like to watch, but those are some of my fan-favorites.

Rankin and Bass’s Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, the 1969 animated short Frosty the Snowman as well as the movie Elf, Home Alone, and various adaptions films / shorts of Dicken’s A Christmas Carol (can’t pick which one). You know the ones that I’m talking about…. Anyway, since I love movies, I do have a love for Christmas movies / animated shorts as well, especially some of the classic children ones. However, I’m not one of those people who will wear an ugly holiday sweater (I refuse to do that). I still like opening up presents…haha), and the coming together with family members. I love the putting of the tree, the decorations, good food, opening presents (yes, I’m like a big kid. As the night goes on, the Polar Express continues its journey as the boy discover more about the spirit of Christmas, soon arriving at the North Pole as the children ready to meet Santa Clause, who bestows upon the boy a great gift and learns about the power of believing. Boarding the train, the young boy befriends other pajama-clad children, including a heroic girl (Nona Gaye), a know-it-all boy (Eddie Deezen), and a lonely boy named Billy (Jimmy Bennett). Venturing outside, the boy finds that indeed a steam locomotive train stands in front of his house, with the train’s conductor (Tom Hanks) exclaims that the train is the Polar Express, a magical train that journey that takes kids to the North Pole every Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve, while many boys and girls sleep soundly for the arrival of Santa Clause, one doubtful young boy (Daryl Sabara) is about to embark on a wondrous adventure when the hears the rumbling roar and whistle of a steam engine outside his window. Here is my review of the 2004 animated film The Polar Express. With Christmas, almost upon us, I would to share one of my personal favorites and give it one of my “movie reviews” treatment. Whether it’s a classic, new hit, or filled childhood memories / nostalgia, everyone has their favorite ones to watch.
