The Polar Express (2004)

Polar Express is a film about a boy who is starting not to believe in Santa, a train appears late at night to take him to the north pole. This film tells you about the boy and his friends journey to the north pole and really believing in Santa.

This is a computer animated film that is aimed at children but adults can enjoy it too. The surprising thing about this film is that 7 of the characters are voiced by Tom Hanks. It was released in 2004 and was based on a book call The Polar Express written by Chris Van Allsbury. It was nominated for many awards including Oscars, the Guinness World Records recognizes the film as a pioneer, because of its motion capture.

I liked how the film captures the spirit of Christmas and how the children have lots of small adventures in the big adventure, I didn't like the darker bit like the broken toy carriage but then without it I don't the film would be as good.

I think that you should watch this fiml especially around Christmas to get you into the spirit of that time of year.
