"Seeing is believing." Kid nods. 30 seconds later: "Do you believe in ghosts?" Kid shakes his head 'no.' "Interesting." The guy on top of the train is a ghost; the kid can see him, talk to him, yet continues to refuse to believe in ghosts. LOL

@@kentslocum no the main kid was Josh Hutcherson not Tom Hanks

@deadpoolisawesome20 Tom did a bunch of the motion capture for the kid, though.

[@cloosearrow5854]

@@deadpoolisawesome20Josh Hutcherson actually did additional motion capture for Hero Boy when he was on screen with the adult actors (he was around 10-11 years old at the time). And on the contrary to popular belief, he didn’t provide the voice, that was Daryl Sabara.

[@Siennaflower]

I think the "creepiness" of this movie depicts the real fear that children experience when they don't know what is happening, or what is going to happen. Then, as they go forward, they find out that they didn't need to fear most of what was going to happen; yet they also learn to have a part in the outcome with their choices. ❤

[@Mis7erSeven]

When I was a kid, my mom told me not to get in a stranger's car. But she never said anything about a stranger's train, so this would be fine probably.

[@carriemilito2851]

The author of The Polar Express grew up in my city of Grand Rapids, Michigan. I'm old enough to remember the old Herpolsheimers department store that's in the movie. They used to do a big Christmas window display every year. Inside the store there was a monorail train that kids could ride on. When the store closed, they saved the monorail and installed it at the public museum as a piece of Grand Rapids history. I always appreciated that the author included a bit of his childhood memories in the story.

[@blakeverdon4492]

It wasn't until I was a good bit older that I noticed what many people saw as scary or uncanny about the animation and movie as a whole (with the exception of the abandoned toy train car, that scene was always super creepy to me...). When I was younger, I just enjoyed the fun Christmas vibes and didn't pay that much attention to the actual story. Bit of a shame really. But that's what these rewatches are for: to pay actual attention and notice thing you didn't before.

[@julialeslie692]

In first grade they told us the day before Christmas break that we were going on the Polar Express; so they blocked off the day, had us all wear our pj's to school, and gathered us all into one room where the chairs were lined up like a train. I was sooo disappointed when I found out we weren't actually leaving, we were just watching the movie in class 😭😭 I still feel betrayed with this movie

[@Earthdemon1]

My class did the same thing! Only we sat on the floor instead, and there was no betrayal lol

[@brianmatthews1736]

This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE Christmas movie...it made me feel I was INSIDE a Christmas story...no other movie about Christmas involves a train...but when I was a kid one of the best toys for Christmas was a train. Plus who doesn't love a train whistle? I mean come on! The biggest thing I got from this movie is how believing in the Spirit of Christmas, love, family, friends, giving, receiving...all of it is in the heart, and never goes away no matter how old you get if you continue to believe in your heart.

[@sylnz97]

bruh I remember when this came out and it looked so realistic lmao little me wasn't sure if it's live action or animated 💀

[@marktegrotenhuis]

The animation of the characters' faces looks a bit odd sometimes because this movie was one of the first (if not the first) movie to use motion capture animations. All characters were actually animated over the bodies of real actors, including Tom Hanks (who did the motion capture acting for the main character "Hero Boy" as well as the boy's dad, the conductor, the hobo and Santa). Only the elf characters were cgi, with the exception of the close-ups which also used the same motion capture animation style.

[@Leocodiant]

This movie is based on the original book published in 1985, as kids my dad would read it to us every Christmas Eve and he would even read it to our Elementary school classes around Christmas time. Now all of us kids are grown up, and he still reads it every year to every class, this is his 32nd year in a row. Next year will be his first time reading with his first grandchild in attendance 🥰

[@ravenm6443]

I agree. It’s also my favorite Christmas film.

[@kentslocum]

Everyone says this movie creeps them out, and I understand why they say that. But I don't find it a deal-breaker for me. I find it pretty easy to get drawn into the story and forget about the uncanny valley. It probably helps that when I first watched this movie, I hadn't seen many 3D animated films. Compared to Toy Story or Monsters, Inc., the humans in this film look pretty decent. Watching it on a tiny CRT television set helped as well. Personally, Polar Express is one of the few films that I would love to see get the live-action treatment. 😊

[@RedCaio]

the musical score by Alan Silvestri is pure Christmas magic. such chills listening to it!

[@catireacts6550]

This is my favorite movie, its part of my children childhood. It was played in their elementary school the last day before Christmas break, it was called The Polar Express day and all of them wore their PJ's and we as mom prepared the hot cocoa and cookies for them. My mom loved this bc of my kids. I always get excited when Santa is going to make the appearance. So many beautiful memories. 😍😍😍

[@bessonovafan6454]

This movie is a family tradition. Every year on Christmas Eve, my mom, my stepdad, my dad, and I watch this movie together. My mom used to cry at the end of the movie but has since been desensitized to it. I on the other hand, didn't get it until a few years ago now that I'm in my 20s myself.

[@KartalaBreed]

I remember seeing this in theatres and loving the train scene and pretty much all of scenes like that because I felt like I was on a roller coaster.

[@RedCaio]

fun fact, when the train spirals up around the mountain you can see that the train cars are apparently made of rubber as they curve in order to manage such a tight spiral upward. Also the number of train cars changes like every shot.

[@Heida77]

This film gives me so much nostalgia! It is based on the book of the same name by Chris Van Alsburg who also wrote Jumanji and Zathura. The film is directed by Robert Zemeckis who also directed Forrest Gump, the Back to the Future triology and A Christmas Carol with Jim Carrey. The close shots of Hero Girl's ticket floating in the air is an intentional nod to the feather in Forrest Gump. Also, when the engineer and fireman try to grab the pin necessary for the train's throttle, a working flux capacitor is visible in the background, referencing Back to the Future and could mean the Polar Express is a functioning time machine. And when Hero Boy sounds the train's whistle he says that he has wanted to do so his whole life, as does Doc Brown in Back to the Future III. This is kind of a Christmas Carol film because Hero Boy is Scrooge and doesn't believe in Santa anymore causing the three ghosts of Christmas (the Hobo, Conductor and Santa) to change him forever. The Hobo is the Ghost of Christmas Past and plays the role of Christmas Future. He tries to intimidate Hero Boy into changing his ways, using only himself instead of the future. The Conductor is the Ghost of Christmas Present and is in charge of keeping order in the present to get Hero Boy to Santa. Finally, Santa is Christmas Future and changes Hero Boy forever, like Scrooge. The film used 3D motion capture techniques to digitally record the actors' physical performances before "skinning" them with their animated forms. The children's roles were acted by adults, using oversized props to get the movement right. Tom Hanks plays six different roles in the film: Hero Boy, Hero Boy's father, the conductor, Hobo, Santa and Scrooge. Initially Robert Zemeckis considered having him play all the roles but after trying, Hanks was too exhausted to do them all. Three different actors play the role of Hero Boy: Tom Hanks does the motion capturing and adult voice, Daryl Sabara does the voice acting and Josh Hutcherson does additional motion capturing. Nona Gaye, daughter of Marvin Gaye, plays Hero Girl. Steven Tyler of Aerosmith plays the elf lieutenant/singer. Director Robert Zemeckis' wife Leslie provides the motion capture for both Hero Boy's mum and sister. The theme heard throughout the film is nearly identical to the theme in Elf. It is also the melody to an original song called Believe, sung by Josh Groban. It was nominated for an Oscar and performed by Groban and Beyoncé during the award ceremony in 2005. It was also nominated for a Golden Globe and won a Grammy. There is a theory that the conductor time-traveled to help his past self since Tom Hanks also voices the older version of Hero Boy. And there is an actual Polar Express train ride that travels every year on the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad in Bryson City, North Carolina.

[@selenawolf2466]

The animation falles inyo uncanny valley because they used straight motion capture- no cartoon physics to smooth it out, its what creeps people out. The eyes look dead for how realistic the bodies move. Etc. But it was one of the first movies to use the technology- we owe Gollum and others for them having perfected this.

[@katiepooh2137]

The fact tom hanks voiced most of the characters= goat ❤️

[@aquatadevore9335]

In the scene when they're trying to catch the pin, you can see the flux capacitor from Back To The Future! Plus if you like Tom Hanks you should see Splash 🧜💖💖

[@hideofreakingkojima5457]

Same, I remember watching this movie with my classmates on the wall-mounted tube TV.

[@HannibalFan52]

Fun Fact: Tom Hanks and Peter Scolari (motion caption actor for Billy) costarred in the 1980s sitcom 'Bosom Buddies', about two young men who masquerade as women to get affordable housing in an all-female apartment building. Tom Hanks played the Father, the Conductor, the Hobo, the Scrooge puppet, and Santa, as well as motion capture for Hero Boy, at the very least.

[@anothercarttogo1819]

The horror aspect of the movie is definitely in line with the fact that there's literally a dead homeless guy that haunts the train; the fact that they added that paranormal part, which doesn't exist in the original book *at all,* is what makes me fall in love with the movie more? I can't help it, I love dark Christmas stories, I guess. Plus, the animation and atmosphere of "something's kind of off about this movie that isn't only the animation" is what also does it for me; though, personally, I never thought of the animation/motion capture as old or archaic (though, it technically *is* that by way of being in the first wave of that animation), but instead I always thought of it as an art style of sorts, because it still looks so unique compared to other motion capture movies - and, I don't know, I just like it. The Hobo actually had a deleted scene/song, though, sung by the two engineers to the main boy and girl about how he died: he was a severely poor homeless man named King (kind of funny how he calls himself the "king" of the North Pole) that hopped onto to the train for free, and when the train went up that steep hill leading to Flat Top Tunnel, he didn't have much time to react and was killed on impact and now haunts the train (I also find it interesting how he calls the train "his train," maybe because he literally haunts it now). All of the context now makes what he says to the boy so much more, I don't know, fascinating? Him knowing when the tunnel was coming up; knowing the clearance space of the tunnel and train; and also asking the kid if he believes in ghost in the first place, which definitely lets the audience know he's a ghost at least from that question alone. It's also implied that his death happened way before the Conductor was even the Conductor, for when the Conductor did his first ever run on the Polar Express and slipped and nearly fell, he states how someone saved him to the main boy, and with context clues you can definitely surmise that it was King who saved him. But, I love how he not only helps the boy get to where he needed to go in the first place, for King definitely knew that the girl was being taken to the engine room (he spawned in-between the space of where the Conductor was going with the girl and the boy trying to find them) but he was also saving the kid's life by leading him to the coals at the front of the train. The dude is also just... a fucking menace? Like, who the fuck puts socks in their coffee and then downs it like it's the fountain of youth, randomly spawns in skis to ski on the train, and scares the shit out of kids with puppets, while also saving people from falling off?? And the first clip of him we get is him sleeping *under* the train too, like, what??? For anyone who may think I'm talking bullshit and fan-canon about King's backstory though, here's a link about the team talking about the song they cut that includes the animation of how he died: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZDciYV3n7F4mZI (I would skip to 5 :17 to see the animation, it's actually smooth as fuck).

This movie wad made with mocap such is acting but with a ball suit on. Also tom tanks originally was going to play every single character in the movie, at least the mocap, but after shooting, they realised he was going to kill himself with how much work it was, so they made him only play 5 characters

[@frostyshakes7531]

What makes me chuckle every time is the fact that this movie was made with MoCap (Motion Capture) and it was Tom Hanks in the MoCap suit playing a majority if not every single character, so he’s acting the physical part and then the children characters are dubbed over by the other voice actors

[@christinamoxon]

My son loves trains. We own loads of brio. Polar Express has become our Xmas eve family movie. I bought a box of silver bells and every year I place two in front of the fireplace. Both my kids ring them to check everyone can hear them. It gives me warm fuzzies just thinking about it 🥰 The slightly dark, creapy vibe encapsulates that childhood fear of the idea of Santa coming and sneaking around the house after dark when you shouldn't. Where everything is scary and your heart is pounding. And all your toys look slight scary. The atmosphere they create is incredible. ❤ Definitely a favourite.

This movie always makes me emotional! It was the first movie I watched after my family and I moved to the States that I understood in English. My second grade class watched it with cups of hot cocoa and pj's and as a surprise the teachers had organized a 'gift' for all of us and we each got the chance to pick out a toy from a pile of donations. There was a shaggy, old blue bear that called to me and I still have him today. It was magical to me 😊♥️

This is one of the movies that often gets cited when talking about the creepiness of the uncanny valley and why Pixar always makes its human characters with grossly disproportional faces (or "cute" and "babyish" with their giant eyes and button noses).

[@Tadpoli]

This is and has always been my favorite holiday film ever since I was like 5. Now it's one of the only ones I can watch safely after some trauma stuff. I don't know what it is, but this movie just feels really well written. It shows perspectives of holidays that you don't see often in Christmas movies (the skeptical/non-believer and the one who Christmas just doesn't work out for) along with the dreamer. It doesn't fully condemn either Billy or Hero Boy, it just shows their perspectives and how magic can be real, even if you can't always see it. That message really hits home. And also yeah, this was one of the first movies to use motion capture for the characters! If you look up the cast, each character has like three names listed, the voice actor, the motion capture for the child, and some additional motion capture done by adults (like Tom Hanks for Hero Boy. Josh Hutcherson also did the motion capture for Hero Boy!!) That's why it looks a lil janky and even kinda creepy lol. Also I saw a really really cool (imo) theory (NOT MINE!) about why Tom Hanks voices Santa, Hero Boy's Dad, the Conductor, and the Hobo, as well as the narration from Hero Boy. It's because in the beginning as a boy, when he encounters all four of these characters, he has a chance of growing into any of the four. The doubter (the Hobo), the non-believer (his Dad), the carrier of the magic (the conductor), and the maker of the magic himself (Santa) depending on how his journey on the Polar Express goes. At the end of the movie, the Hobo evaporates as the train leaves, symbolizing that the Hero Boy is no longer a Doubter, and that path is erased. Also when it zooms in on the bell in the final shot, you see Santa in the reflection, implying that Hero Boy did grow up to be Santa (or just a maker of magic in some symbolic way). However, I think I can see in the left corner next to Santa, the reflection of what looks like a TV or something kinda morphs into the outline/visage of the Conductor. Probably just me on that one, but I like to see it hahaha. Okay sorry for the long comment!! Loved the reaction!!

So when he gets to tell Santa what he wanted as a gift, he didnt ask for the bell. He asked for Billy to get to have what he wanted, (an actual christmas with gifts). Which is why his house looks much more vibrant and decorated when they bring him home

[@TheAlmaward]

If that were the case, why would Santa hold up the bell and say "The first gift of Christmas!"? He asked for the bell.

This movie resonates with me so much. Three years ago my marriage failed and I have the choice to stay where I was and be poor or sell my house and move 500 miles away. I chose to move. I sold the house, moved in with my sister and brother-in-law. I was blown away by the mountains and lochs of The Scottish Highlands and eventually found a job and bought a flat. A few weeks later I met my next door neighbour. She is from Hong Kong and became my soulmate. I made my way through a couple of jobs but now have found the right one for me. What has helped is, I have a God who guides, and where he guides, He provides. I took the risk, but have never been happier, more fulfilled or more financially secure...

5:26 WHO IN THE BLAZING APPLIED THAT EMERGENCY BREAK

[@BigGator5]

"There's no greater gift than friendship." Merry Christmas! ✝️ 🙏 🎄 🎁 Fun Fact: The movie is based on the book The Polar Express (1985) by Chris Van Alsburg. He also wrote the Jumanji (1981) and Zathura (2002) books. 1225 Connection Fact: A close examination of the ticket numbers reveals that they all contain the number 1225. Pere Marquette No. 1225 was used as a model for the Polar Express locomotive. 12-25 also refers to the date of Christmas, December 25th. Motion Capture Fact: The film is listed in the 2006 Guinness Book of World Records as the "first all-digital capture" film, where all acted parts were done in digital capture. In fact, it is called "motion capture" now. The film used 3D motion capture techniques to digitally record the actors' physical performances before "skinning" them with their animated forms. The children's roles were acted by adults, using oversized props to get the movement right. Good King Wenceslas Fact: When the Hero Boy (Josh Hutcherson) first meets the Hobo (Tom Hanks) on the roof of the train, he is playing the "Good King Wenceslas" carol. The story of Saint Wenceslas I, Duke of Bohemia is that of a king braving the harsh winter to bring alms to the poor on the Feast of Stephan, December 26th. His page finds he can't go on through the harsh conditions and is directed to walk in the footprints that the king has made in the snow. The Hobo directs Hero Boy to follow behind him and ultimately helps him reach the engine before they make it to the tunnel, thus allowing him to find and help his friend. This is also a representation of the Holy Spirit idea of the Hobo, that he guides those who believe in Him to safety, even in perilous times.

the animation is what makes the movie

[@tamarasmith9060]

The cg animation for the movie was done in the exact art style of the original picture book illustrations, which is like halfway between very realistic painting & traditional hand-drawn movie animation. 😄 Yes, it's a bit odd, but I think it's meant to be that way, to give the dream feeling of halfway real & halfway not. Is the story real? Is it just fantasy? Is it somehow both because of Christmas magic? 🎁

i never understood why the heck people find it scary people nowadays get scared of everything i guess

[@thecocoacouch]

Yeah it’s called automatomophobia. The fear of human-like things. Humans are hardwired to be uncomfortable around things like mannequins, robots, or in this case, bad cgi characters with life-like eyes since it’s our natural way of finding imposters in society. Hope this helps man!!
