"The Polar Express" Movie Review

This film is stunning and will probably be all over the Hallmark channel because of that alone. But it's definitely worth watching over the holidays.

It is beautifully animated, it is adventurous and perfect for the whole family. Tom Hanks does a great job transforming into each of the characters. He does every voice in the film - except for the little kids. I thought that that was very clever because that is how you would read the book that this film is based on (if you were reading it out loud of course). You would change your voice to match each of the characters.

My niece borrowed this book from her school's library. It's a beat up copy mind you, but the pictures are still resplendent. The filmmakers followed the book closely and it paid off. It is a scrumptious feast for the eyes!
