This soundtrack is so emotional that it makes you cry. 😢

Why is it so sad

[@themagicinsider6585]

I agree😢

[@mr.epicmemerman131]

I don't think it's sad, it's just really nostalgic.

[@abrahammarquez9727]

Bro my guy this is not sad my guy

This movie and song are the definition of childlike wonder. This movie was Christmas.

[@GrubWarp]

I can’t imagine anything this special will ever be created again

[@holyFARTbro]

very true

[@mariaequihua5355]

I showed my sister this movie years ago and now this is her number one Christmas movie I told her the music give that mystery and adventure vibes it makes you feel a type of way that's magical and I love it such an amazing movie for 2004 nothing in 2024 can compare an thats sad

[@khy114]

I watch this excellent movie every Christmas since I was 6. This year I still decide to watch it. It’s not only a movie, it’s an art, it’s my childhood!

[@nealwatkinson4775]

Me too, brilliant 😊

[@elenakal1439]

"Seeing is believing"❤ That's the magic of Xmas... I am now 21y but I still get goosebumps with this movie,with this music...

[@1944barcelona]

The music is beautiful. the animated movie is a marvel of visual art. but the most wonderful are the deep expressions of human warmth and kindness they present to you whether you are a child or a grown person. the older i get the more easily i tear.

[@timwalsh619]

I would just like to feel the magic just one more time. As you get older it escapes you. Never let it escape you.

[@arcticninja8865]

Yes! I so agree! I try to at least think of it as much as I can.

[@rctraix2623]

But when you have children it comes back :) Without children its not the same.

[@teddieklinkhammer3451]

Just close your eyes and let the music transport you back to your childhood, land of awe and wonder.

[@timwalsh619]

I think you’re right, we’ve been trying. I pray it does the trick. Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. It means a lot, god bless.

[@timwalsh619]

And merry Christmas.

[@cellocat-sm8lx]

This music still makes me cry years later! It's like a warm hug from an innocent childhood memory......

[@wares24]

Listening to this beautiful theme music from Polar Express always takes me back to the winter days of 2006-2008, when I was just 8-10 years old. It reminds me of those magical times, watching this movie every winter, wrapped up in the cozy warmth of our home while the cold weather outside made everything feel even more special. This music truly brings back such nostalgic and cherished memories of my childhood. Thank you for sharing this piece of my past. 🥲❄️🎄✨

[@PattiMcBride-f9c]

I wholeheartedly concur with your sentiment. I vividly recall the experience of watching this captivating movie with my beloved husband, Adam, and our four precious children. Our 4-year-old son, Ben, our 6-year-old daughter, Ruth, our 8-year-old son, James, and our 10-year-old daughter, Hannah. As the movie unfolded, we were all ensconced on the couch, enveloped in enthralling silence. The film was nothing short of spectacular - a mesmerizing blend of awe-inspiring and breathtaking beauty.

[@wares24]

@@PattiMcBride-f9c I'm so glad to hear that this movie brought back wonderful memories for you and your family as well. It's amazing how these moments can create such lasting impressions and bring joy to our hearts. Watching it together, enveloped in the magic of the story, must have been truly special. Thank you for sharing your beautiful memory with me 😇 🍃 ✨

[@ethangill9437]

I was born in 2005 (1 year after this movie came out) and have watched it almost every year since 2010. By far my favorite Christmas movie of all time.

[@mariaequihua5355]

Hands down this is best Christmas movie. I've watched all Christmas movies, new and old, and every time I hear this, I get a sense of adventure and mystery it actually feels magical. I love it. I wish we had more movies like this

[@lehighvalleyrockhounding]

Merry Christmas everybody. Sending you prayers and warm hugs to all who need it most. ❤❤❤

[@ledgeshingodzilla1289]

I saw this with my cousin when he was in 5th grade, and not just that when the film first dropped 3 of his 5th grade school teachers got together and pitched in to bring the entire group to Jordans IMAX to see it in 3D. My cousin loves this film to today.

[@teddieklinkhammer3451]

wonderful teachers with an open heart

[@ddddddd12321]

it's reminding me to those days when i was a child and it's cold outside and all my family was there, how beautiful and warm it was

[@irenelewis5725]

Everything about this movie is BREATHTAKING..TAKES MY BREATH AWAY EVERY TIME I WATCH..THE MUSIC MAKES ME CRY..🎁🥰

[@efraintrejo6324]

I've loved this movie since birth ironically, and no other Christmas movie will replace it as it holds a special place in my heart I'm 20 years old and it's crazy how I'm raging with this and the spongebob movie from the same year

[@richardlee1948]

Old memories with my family. Such a nice song.

[@BritishMiscellanyYT]

As many people have mentioned, the animation is bit rough on the edges, but considering it was the first motion capture film, I'd consider it one of the best Christmas films of the 21st century.

[@Core.2530]

Exactly

[@Core.2530]

I used to watch this every Christmas until I stopped I regret stopping 😭

[@Core.2530]

And for the 20th anniversary I’m going to be posting a KZbin video for it to remind everyone of the greatest locomotive

[@TheKonga88]

LMMFAO 🤣🤣😹😹🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😹

[@alexbryda]

2:55 is where it hits so hard 🥹🙏🔥

[@ChasePowell-r9u]

[@thehoodieguy1341]

One of the best childhood movies. Not many movies come close to this.

[@PattiMcBride-f9c]

In the cozy family movie room of our home, a cherished movie resides on the bookshelf. Gathered around were my husband, Adam, our five young ones - 3-year-old Ben, 5-year-old Ruth, 7-year-old James, and 9-year-old identical twins, Mark and Naomi. Every Christmas, our tradition was to watch this heartwarming film. The joy in their eyes was unmistakable, especially during the scene when Santa prepared to depart from the enchanting North Pole. Their laughter and excitement filled the room as we relished in the magic of the moment. To enhance their wonder, Adam and I treated them to a real-life Polar Express ride at our town's charming train depot. Truly, these are the priceless memories that adorn the tapestry of our family adventures.

[@rctraix2623]

Watching this movie every year with my kids :)

[@allidragon7041]

My mom was pregnant with me when she saw this in the theater. The magic of the movie must've had some effect because I watch this every year on Christmas Eve with some hot chocolate while decorating Santa's cookies. At the end, when the train leaves and the ghost waves goodbye, I break down into tears. That's what happens when you love a movie before you're even born.

[@andrerone8208]

I know I'm a little bit older on this page but my childhood goes back to the 70s when I was a kid and I think about my Christmas back in that time life was just so much simpler and when I remember the most this is here in the teachers over the intercom inside the classroom right now they would play Charlie Brown Christmas music and we knew that our Christmas Vacation will be so much fun it would start to snow tomorrow with my cookies the house was decorated with Christmas remind me to all around and the Christmas tree was lit up like no other but now we fast-forward to The Polar Express music if I had a time machine to go back in time I would do it within a heartbeat but I would definitely take this music with me to my childhood thanks for posting this this makes me feel so good on the inside each time and every time Merry Christmas everyone😊☃️❄️❄️

[@RoyBryan-d5f]

Just instrumental is beautiful ❤❤❤

[@blaise1016]

Everytime I hear this it makes me think of the ending to "Its A Wonderful Life". Just like in the polar express one of themes is about believing in yourself and the goals you want to achieve. The world you live it without you would be a whole different place. All the lives youve entered and enchanted with your presence. Never give up. Life can be hard and I like many others have felt like giving up but its not worth it. It gets rough but thats what changes you into a better person. Keep strong and stand tall. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!! You are loved.
