The Polar Express is movie magic at its finest, guaranteed to delight viewers of all ages. This story starts Christmas Eve, with a boy unable to sleep. He is listening for sleigh bells. He really tries to believe in Santa Claus, but his sense of logic says that the annual ride is just not possible. Instead of hearing reindeer, he hears the noise of a train outside his house. “All aboard!” calls the conductor. “Where are you going?” asks the boy. “Why, the North Pole, of course! This is The Polar Express.”
The Movie Rental Review was blown away by the animation of this movie truly topnotch. This movie has to be one of the best Christmas movies I have ever seen and definitely deserves high ranking for best movie of the year.
