[SFM] That One Scene From The Polar Express

[@FlyingScott]

Doesn't hit the same without RiR and LeL Mer Khris Oi, watch the meme version while you're at it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXrYomWIqb6DfsU

[@sirbarongaming2138]

You did one hell of a job animating the reverser, the rapid "shifting" still rocks even if it's highly not recommended for the real thing

[@Captain_439TheUseless-vb7oh]

Not sure if you noticed, but this animation is so attentive to detail on the engine that even the unpowered lead wheels have realistic physics and are shoved around like a truck&trailer. Im so genuinely impressed ngl.

Dam

[@sirmatsdubois2509]

I remember this. I think it was only two to three years old when this movie came out. but now as an adult I have noticed something with the original that is not in this adaptation. during the original scene when the driver's leaning out of the cab you don't see the connecting rods moving! But when it cuts back to the connecting rods they are moving! just a detail I spot that isn't in this one thankfully. It's a very faithful Recreation.

[@SONICX1027]

It’s a shame it’s fictional, because that would badass to see an engine do that on ice in real life

[@mistermadmachine6311]

I think train of thought did a video on something like that

[@PereMarquette-sf8lr]

Its a magic train

[@oregonrailfan7046]

It’s literally impossible

[@the25thdoctor]

You can with ice that’s 47 inches thick,

[@Cwilliam1999]

The thing is anyone with half a brain can understand that this is just a movie and the physics are complete Bullshit

[@jbrails444]

Amazing Work on the animation. This brings me back to one of the best films to exist thank you!

[@EmilyChaosDrivr]

Just saw the movie again today after 8 years. Amazing piece of worl

[@zyloproductions4870]

One guy said, “How come an engineer’s pin breaks the ice but not a 40,000 TON locomotive?!”

[@NessWithABeard]

I believe it has something to do with weight distribution.

[@parkerheinle9132]

It’s a magic train

[@LucianoSalazar1776]

I Love The Polar Express And I’ve Also Heard About The Flying Scotsman Steam Engine, And Also Love It Just As Much As You Do

[@brandonteflon1232]

Excellent. Using sfm myself i know how hard this had to be.

[@simply_randomations]

Bro this gives me some nostalgia😊

[@penguintrain1360]

Boys when they see a train with the locomotive numbered "1225"

[@syafiqsomplak9712]

I never understand how the polar express never explodes...

[@parkerheinle9132]

[@LightningTheLMS3FJinty2020]

Magic protects it

[@MisterSprinter156]

In reality the PE had no chance. *it’s an 80 TON STEAM LOCOMOTIVE AGAINST RAW ICE.* what did you expect?

[@Walkertale_Official]

Remember: if you cant drift a 700.000 pounds Steam locomotive on thin Ice, your not a real drifter!

[@HiddenNotReal]

If it was real: Going down glacier gulch, sliding on the ice, coming to a stop Boy: LOOK THE- *polar express falls through ice*

[@TylerMcNamer]

Oh yeah! I remember that scene. Robert KNOWS how to keep the audience on their TOES. Great work reanimating the scene! Well done!

[@matthewdiebold8913]

This is amazing! You did a great job on this!

[@spongbee5253]

Ah yes a pin that weighs 1 gram cracks ice but not a 700 ton steam locomotive

[@FQP-7024]

lovely work, regardless of memes it rocks all the same

[@Arkay315]

Even as a kid I knew this was bulls**t, but it did look really cool.

[@nightfire9748]

must say one hell of a job takes time and effort to being things to life

[@michaeltischer7195]

This is a awsome Animation that you brought the polar Express Back, and also the Coaches i think thery we're from someome else Like Thes Coaches Ar Not from this model locomotive the creator dit.

[@Angelblue1302]

Should have done Soldier and Engineer for Crew, otherwise quite great :D

[@FlyingScott]

Why Soldier?

[@Angelblue1302]

@@FlyingScott Bit addicted to TF2 Animation Railroad Redemption. They used Soldier and Engineer as crew.

[@oldtimer4791]

I was expecting them to either slam into the ice wall, or get dragged into the water about 3 seconds after the engine got back on the tracks.

[@MaskedFlame443]

this is seriously epic dude!

[@ColtonOfSwing]

This is so cool!! One of cinema's all time greatest scenes. Doesn't it make you also appreciate Mr. Zemeckis' camerawork?

[@Choochookid7470]

Feels weird not seeing the kids in it

[@LemonSpacebirb]

Amazing work my friend but one thing, I’m pretty sure the polar express locomotive was a 4-8-4 and the model you used I can only see 2 pilot wheels. It’s either you couldn’t find the right model or I’m just dumb.

[@FlyingScott]

No, you're just dumb :) Even in the film "nerdy kid" says the loco is a 2-8-4 "Berkshire". The name "Berkshire" refers to that very wheel arrangement.
