Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Forrest Gump, etc...) caught the motion capture animation bug in the 2000s w/ this film, Beowulf, & A Christmas Carol. As for the music, nearly all of his movies are scored by Alan Silvestri.

[@videohistory722]

Someone pointed out to me that the girl also has her doubts about Santa, it's just shown super subtly to where it flies under the radar. How? By the "Are you sure?" thing. Sure, she SAYS she believes in everything, but there's still a little voice in the back of her head saying, "Are you sure?" That's why she freezes up whenever someone says that. What if she was wrong this whole time? What if all this is meaningless? So when they're at the North Pole, and she finally says, "Absolutely!", that was the film's way of telling us she now finally truly believes it's all real. That's why she didn't initially hear the bells.

The singing elf was motion captured by none other than Steve Tyler, lead singer of Aerosmith, who performed that song. Yes, a scary look, indeed!

[@Cadinho93]

The Polar Express is one of the greatest Christmas movies to watch, regardless of your age. Watch it on Christmas Eve just because it takes place on that day. Also, I love how Tom Hanks literally plays like 90% of the characters and the fact that it's pretty obvious that the train conductor planned everything, including purposely not punching the holes of the girls ticket.

[@kylewestlake982]

I love how this movie expanded on the classic book. I loved it as it kid. The same guy who wrote it wrote Jumanji, too. Have you guys seen that yet?

To add a favorite memory, my elementary Principal would go to all the classrooms for the younger classes and read The Polar Express. At the end of the book, he takes a bell out of his pocket, revealing that he is the young boy from the book who still has the bell. We each got to take home a bell that he gave to us.

[@turbotemari09]

This movie, along with Jim Carrey's "The Grinch", are my favorite things for christmas. Also, that singing elf, you thought was horrifying?!... That song "Rocking on Top of the World", is sung by Steven Tyler. Hence the resemblance.

One of my favorite Christmas animated movies growing up and I can’t believe it’s been over 20 years since this film came out. Finally It wouldn't surprise me or a mere coincidence if the Scrooge puppet was just an Easter egg/Teaser for _A Christmas Carol_ which was Robert Zemeckis' next Christmas MoCap project released 5 years later, even the clothes the Scrooge Puppet has is the same clothes worn by Scrooge in the 2009 animated film.

The person who voices the kid with glasses (named Eddie Deezen) also voiced Mandark in Dexter's Laboratory. Also, Smokey and Steamer were voiced by Michael Jeter (Who co-starred with Tom Hanks in The Green Mile); this was his final role and he died before the film was released.

[@mcbm9410]

“Hey! Wtf?!? that’s MF Mandark from Dexter’s Lab !!! Hah haha ha ha… Deedee 😍” 😂 was my only thought throughout most of the movie, as I first saw it a few weeks ago. Then I googled to confirm if the voice actor was the same guy, and DAMN! That voice actor looks exactly the same as the character he voiced in both Polar Express and Dexter’s Lab! 😂

One thing I've caught about this movie over the years: When they're walking around the north pole, they hear the elves talking about the last present having candy cane paper and a green number 7 bow. You're supposed to think that it's Billy's present, but eventually, you notice so is Hero boy's present. Leaves you to wonder: did Santa know he was going to lose the bell?

[@Maastrichian]

I loved this when I first saw it at age 34... and I still love it. Also, the logistical and industrial machine that is Santa's North Pole, not to mention the highly trained army of Elves, is enough to make every kid run straight.,

[@heartovwrath]

As if the voice of the know-it-all kid wasn’t agitating enough, he is the voice of Mandark in Dexter’s Laboratory. 😂

[@susanberrier5727]

The town I used to live in would do the polar express every year at christmas time. We had a historic train station and the train would go out of town a bit to the "North Pole." I took my daughter a few times when she was little. They would serve hot chocolate, local towns people dressed up as elves and danced. The book would be playing on the speakers and santa would be there to take pictures with the kids. We even got souvenir bells. I was an adult and i had a blast. It is one of my favorite memories.

This animation creeps me out more then any movie ever

[@bidwell13]

Such a great movie. A lot of train museums that have train excursions around the country do a Polar Express Train Ride. The one we do is an hour round trip train ride to the North Pole where we get hot chocolate and cookies. They have hot cocoa dancers come on the train during the ride, the read the story and hand out books for kids to read along with and on the way back to the station Santa comes aboard and delivers the “first gift of Christmas” to everyone. First class riders get a commemorative mug. The Santa on the train this year is one who did it last year remembered my daughter and talked to her a bit on the train. It made her night. She’s autistic so something like that put her on cloud nine. When this movie came out the animation was brand new. Tom Hanks plays multiple characters in this movie. He plays the father, Hero Boy(main character), Conductor, Hobo , Scrooge and Santa. 7:00 yeah love how the kid told him to hit the brakes then when they possibly get in trouble he rats him out. 10:18 back in the olden days when trains were the main way to travel cross country they did that to stowaways. 11:33 remember when they rode by the toy store the boy saw a Santa in the window and it was a mechanic Santa. 12:03 they never say who the hobo is leaving it up to the reader (or watcher) to decide who he is. 17:11 they all represent different types of kids. The annoying one is the “know-it-all” kid who doesn’t listen to what anyone tells him. 23:27 what if the gift was what he actually wanted but because he opened it before Christmas it changed to socks. 26:31 that was Steven Tyler. 29:04 I took the letter that Santa left the boy and every year my daughter gets a small photo album with photos of the train ride from Santa.
