Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg & read by Liam Neeson

[@robbyosborne9708]

Liam Neeson is not only a fantastic actor, he's a fantastic reader too!

[@cameroncampbell6635]

When you look at the book, The artwork doesn't have any flashing lights or bright colors that a kid would find out of this world and it's amazing, they're simple and dull, but still very beautiful, but only in the minds of an adult. This works because the book and the movie are about an adult remembering his childhood. In the movie the feeling of Adulthood is more pronounced as, The doubt the boy feels and the " end of the magic," has a different feeling now that I am an adult, when you are more focused on work, taxes, responsibilities, etc, not so much on childhood wonder. I think that feeling makes this not only the best Christmas book/movie but one of the most interesting and well written plots of all time.

[@EduardoGarcia91]

I agree. As adults we can be very busy with responsibilities that we can at times forget the things that mattered when we were children.

[@USAIRFORCE621]

I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm bawling in tears listening to this story that once you read it or hear it from the majestic voice of Sir Liam Neeson then it stays with you forever! For many years my Christian faith has kept the belief of Santa strong within thy soul and yet even though some people have tried to get me to believe otherwise it'd be simply impossible to do so, Santa has always been a true friend and a wonderful icon for myself and countless others throughout the USA and the world!

[@USAIRFORCE621]

@Jaycob Shawn Skelton insensitive moron!

[@josephtierney284]

You're right

[@Hikoriri]

ive never heard liam read this because my elementary school teacher always read it to us, but this is amazing. This book holds a special place in my heart ❤️

[@Chatterbox-94]

I listen to this story every year around Christmas. It’s a timeless book and a wonderful memory from my childhood

[@foxteen8721]

Liam Neeson really must have been there as a child, telling this story so well.

[@Carti_fan60]

He sounded like he was sleepy and like 20 or 25 years old and that’s not close to a child

[@d.m.h.6903]

I could listen to his voice all the time

[@mimigarrett891]

I owe this story to my kindergarten teacher who gave me this book with a cd. she passed away recently.

[@cupcakes20120]

Aww I’m so sorry

[@jordanwelch3832]

My reading teacher in 1st grade read it to my class (around the same time when the movie came out). She has also recently passed on this year. God bless you this holiday season my friend.

[@benjaminmartin8001]

I’m very sorry to hear about that.

[@claudiaravaschiere4183]

The amazing and moving score to this audio adaptation was composed by Michael Moss of Soundscape Productions. He is a professor at the Berkelee College of Music. It was performed by professional Boston area studio musician( not synthesized ). It was produced by Susan D. Boer Just wondering why they are not credited in the notes to this KZbin post. The composition is beautiful.

[@tmntfangirl4700]

I remember this story when I was in the 3rd grade. The librarian would hold the book open while the audio cassette or cd played the story and she would flip the pages. It’s still my favorite Christmas story till this day.

[@Danikaaa320]

YES 👍🏻 🥲I miss the story🥺

[@baxyus]

I remember first time when i watched "Polar Express" on TV. This cartoon become my favourite to which i return every winter holidays. I grow up, but still feel the magic and atmosphere of new year holiday. I guess I'm not the only one who loves this little story about the miracle and kindness

[@livelaughlove4635]

Liam Neeson is the person to narrate this book. What a great voice and actor. He read it perfectly. :)

I have seriously NEVER cared about this story one whit, and then I listened to Liam reading the book, and now I'm SOBBING. WHAT THE HELL, LIAM NEESON! Lol.

What year did he narrate this cuz I'm pretty sure this isn't the one we would listen to in school in the late 90s early 2000s

[@1f5sda]

William Hurt (May he RIP) is the narrator you are probably thinking of. He narrated the story in 1989 and Liam Neeson narrated this version in 2005.
