The Polar Express


This is the story of a young hero boy who boards on a powerful magical train that's headed to the North Pole and Santa Claus' home on Christmas Eve night. During this ride, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery which shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe.
I like it. I watch it every year. But be so for real, a quick edit could turn this movie into an effective horror so fast. But as it is, it's a unique, strange Christmas movie that is nostalgic enough for me to ignore its obvious shortcomings and see it as a classic. My kids also loved watching this with me, so I can't really be mad at it.
