The Polar Express (2004)
Santa Claus does not exist. Or does he? For one doubting boy, an astonishing event occurs. Late on Christmas Eve night, he lies in bed hoping to hear the sound of reindeer bells from Santa's sleigh. When to his surprise, a steam engine's roar and whistle can be heard outside his window. The conductor invites him on board to take an extraordinary journey to the North Pole with many other pyjama clad children. There, he receives an extraordinary gift only those who still believe in Santa can experience.

It is amazing what digital effects are available in the 21st century. While the story is a very cosy Xmas one, the effects are the major draw card and will even entertain the most action-hungry kids.

Excellent viewing for the very young - the ones
that Harry Potter is too scary & unsuitable for.
I was very happy with it.
Lots of warmth and just enough good tension there
with the friendly ghost and the ride on the train roof !

Our whole family loved it, adutl and childrens humour and good story line.
Tom Hanks shows his versatility as he plays several characters which are all believable and different.

I was at a bit of a loss as to how to rate this one as I thought that - animation aside - this was complete garbage, BUT my kids loved it.
