I once heard a theory that apparently the conductor and the hobo are different future selves of the hero boy. Apparently the hobo is him if he grew up not believing, and the conductor is him when he does believe. I don’t know, it was a long time ago, but it’s a pretty bonkers theory honestly

[@Bloomkyaaa]

Mainly because Tom Hanks plays all 3 characters.

[@TheNeonArmadaOfficial]

@ exactly. I’m pretty sure that’s where that theory originates from

[@ninjanerd11411]

Actually, that theory is true. It was a scrapped idea for the movie.

[@ethanschoenwald9201]

I kinda prefer to think of the hobo as Jack Frost that would explain his mischievous attitude and his claim to be the king of the North Pole and his ability to vanish into snow

[@shinestarluvr]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="676">11:16</a> Someone told me that the reason the poor kid didnt get any presents is because Santa did give him presents. However, his parents would hide his presents before the poor kid could wake up so that they could pawn them off and get money. That’s why when he does find his present in the movie he refuses to let it go. He doesn’t want it get taken away.

[@zidanez21]

The fact he didn’t mention the scene where they drifted a train on ice is extremely unappreciated, I repeat DRIFTED A TRAIN I cannot stress how cool this was for me as a kid

[@Bloomkyaaa]

Literally the best part of the movie.

[@MichaelYT23]

This movie was amazing! I love how they show the kids' different walks of life of what Christmas means to them. Like Billy who isn't financially fortunate. He mentions that Christmas doesn't work out for him. He doesn't know that his parents can't afford decent gifts for him so he believes Christmas doesn't work out well.

[@unicornpupart]

same, i never had a problem with the animation in the film its great for early cgi 3d animation also it stands out more than those ones copying pixar's style i love the songs both hot chocolate & when christmas comes to town and yeah, the different perspectives from the children and it just really showing the polar express train itself and when billy got so excited seeing a present for him, wanting to hold onto it and bring it home. i just rewatched this movie and its still great even if im a lot older its also so sad the voice actor of the train conducters passed away after the film was published :(

[@carter_lovejoy]

Fun Fact: The voice of Hero Boy (the main character) was voiced by Daryl Sabara, aka Juni Cortez from Spy Kids! Also, Josh Hutcherson did some of the motion capture for Hero Boy.

[@bonniekun420]

Was just about to comment this. But I find it odd how Alex gives a shoutout to Mandark's VA but not the MC's in the movie. Because while the former VA has an iconic and recognizable voice I keep seeing Daryl Sabara where I didn't expect him. Like in Rob Zombie's Halloween he was the kid that bullied young Michael before ending up as the first kill in the movie.

[@Wreaknatter]

Yeah, it's a common misconception that Tom Hanks was the kid's voice. Only because he IS credited as the voice of "Hero Boy", but the Adult Voice. Basically the narrator.

[@MihhaDmtr]

I used to watch this movie every Christmas Eve as a kid, for like 6-7 years and even tho I don't keep that "tradition" anymore, I ll never get tired of it

[@srtallio]

I've always loved this movie 😊 & I always interpreted the fact that Tom Hanks played the four central pivotal characters, the boy, the conductor, the tramp & santa, as being a reflection of four stages of Belief 😃 the Boy is Questioning Belief as he gets older, the Tramp is Mocking Non or Disbelief as we tend to do as we get even older, the Conductor is Responsible Belief as an adult keeps it so the next generation can continue ("I have a job to do, we have to see Santa & we have to do it on time!" 😄) & Santa is Complete Total Belief ("I do believe, I do!") 😁 gives it some nice context & subtext, in my opinion 😃

[@jjspgl]

I was 14 when this came and immediately clocked the animation as waaaaay too uncanny valley to handle. So of course my kid asks to watch it every xmas and I need to just go sit in the other room while it's on.

[@Jackthefolf_245]

The puppet scene (the one where the main character gets trapped in a train car full of marionettes.) was absolutely terrifying. Also, this movie was like a horror movie and a fever dream mixed together.

Fun Fact: when the train arrives at the North Pole and the elves are marching along side the rail cars, if you look really close towards the back of the car, you can actually spot an elf that isn’t moving at all, and it’s just gliding along the ground. Once you see it, you can’t un-see it.

[@moonsoup6625]

This is genuinely one of my favorite Christmas movies purely because of the nostalgic hold it has on me. In elementary school they would play this movie every year the day before break and the would pass out styrofoam cups of hot chocolate and sandwich bags of popcorn. Also, I love how none of the characters actually have names outside of Billy, who isn’t even the protagonist.

I lived this movie as a kid, it was the ultimate Christmas spirit movie. The music brought chills down my spine, I would even listen to the soundtrack throughout the entire year on the way to and back from school.

It holds a special place in my heart. Its beautiful, nostalgic, its funny, and im an adult who still believes in santa claus. This movie just breathes Christmas and it feels like pure art. I swear, theres no better feeling than being a kid either on Christmas eve or Christmas day and its cold outside, but relaxing inside at night and you have the polar express on the TV and you have a cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows and maybe even a candy cane and you have presents under your Christmas tree. It just feels so heavenly.
