To be honest, as unrealistic as it is, I would love to see the scene completely animated and placed on the 20th Anniversary DVD or something. I will say though: The choice to cut the song was, in my opinion, the right choice. Not only does the story flow better, but makes the Hobo a far more mysterious character. I think keeping his origins vague makes him a far more interesting character.

[@villagerjj]

Now I want this scene rendered and put on an actual DVD and play it to someone who watched the original and see if they spot the new scene.

[@elikleine1738]

Makes the scene of the girl saying she was sure and the boy saying together when stopping the train more impactful. Plus, makes the conflict of believing more concrete and gives steamer and Smokey a reason to exist and transitions into the next scene with them at the light better. But I didn’t think the song fit.

[@Elavator66]

not sure they have all the assets and textures regularly available, especially after this long. i'm very sad this scene didn't make it in, despite the story flowing better without it. as everyone says the hobo would make more sense.

@@riveranimates Ask yourself river, what was the theme/message of the movie? A kid who is questioning his faith in santa clause (the father) and takes a journey guided by the conductor (the son). Once the boy believes he is able to see santa and experience the spirit of christmas. Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see. The hobo being the holy spirit is somewhat of a stretch, but the holy spirit is a loosely defined thing that shares some qualities with the hobo like fear of god, guidiance, and hes literaly a ghost. Tom Hanks is literally the holy trinity.

I'm glad they decided to put this scene aside for extras because if I had known as a child that someone died on the train, I wouldn't have seen the movie in the same way. Even the fact that the literal king of the north pole is a spirit that lives on the train, I was a child who did not know the concept of the afterlife. Now years later, this scene does not take away the magic of the movie for me, I love this movie even if this scene was not finished I loved the concept of it.

[@nola-]

That song was cute but it definitely didn’t fit with the rest of the movie. I also really like they way they only talk in unison, that’s really cool. I do wish they could have figured out some way to keep in that little backstory part for the ghost hobo guy, it would’ve made 5 year old me wayyy less confused about him. The movie is incredible nonetheless

[@Elavator66]

exactly! agreed.

[@SpyroTheDragon2000]

They probably had a different storyline back then, and the storyline without this song was different when the movie released

[@elder-woodsilverstein7716]

I have to admit, I like the backstory of the hobo. It adds a bit more lore to the Polar Ex. Like these guys see the hobo as a ghost, yet the Polar Express is not entirely of this world. These two aren't technically human, but get freaked out by what they see as a ghost. Like something can be mysterious to them. I find that really interesting.

He was riding on the roof as king of the pole When it started to fall that white stuff called snow. The engine started down the steep; icicles dropped; Headed toward the tunnel, a tunnel called Flat Top. The train made its way toward the tunnel moved faster And the king got nervous 'cause up ahead was disaster. He didn't have time to holler, he didn't have time to cry. He got slipped off this train like that stubborn Georgia Swamp in July" That Gives Me Chills...

Oh?

[@thegruffenator6498]

5:27 you wouldn’t believe it, but this part actually solves quite a bit of lore on the ghost in the movie. I have heard a fair share of ghost stories from real engines, one example is when I went to visit the Reading 2100. They had a coach that was in an accident and all the windows were open, the passengers didnt survive, and every time a window would be open on the coach it would slam shut a few minoutes later. All the windows were serviced amd in really good condition too, and they slid down to open. Now you may be asking, “what does this half to do with the ghost in the movie?” Keep in mind, when he died on flat top tunnel he slipped and fell on the coach. And the conductor mentions that on his first day he slipped and didn’t fall off, perhaps that ghost pulled him up just like he does later when the main character about falls off 1225 aka the polar express. The reason I bring this up is because if you believe in stories of ghosts on trains then the reason they shut the windows on the coach is to protect the people inside the coach, so the ghost in the movie pulls people who almost fall off back up. This would also explain why he tales the main character to the engine, because if he doesn’t the main character would have also suffered the same fate on flat top tunnel. Think about that…

[@tracefleemangarcia8812]

"Now I recall the story of the train that went to glory Over fifty years ago on this same night She was stealing for the cave-in; there were men that needed saving But she missed the curve and trestle near the mine.

Over the years the Hobo (or King, rather) has become the embodiment of the eerie vibe of the Polar Express to me, what holds all of that "off" feeling together, and the fact that they added a paranormal aspect to the movie in the first place - something that wasn't a part of the original story at all - makes me way more endeared to the movie and captivated by the (literal) haunting atmosphere of The Polar Express; the Hobo feels both like an integral part of the Polar Express story (in being a metaphor for not believing - which is kind of fucked up, or being a metaphor for the Holy Spirit/Guardian Angels, and for adding the mysticism of Christmas by being a ghost in general), but he also feels separate from it all (as in, he was a severely poor man who jumped onto a train, because that's what he needed to do to get around, but then he got killed by an oncoming tunnel and now literally haunts the train, helping kids not suffer from the same fate when they somehow get on top of the roof). Also the animation of his death was really cool. It's just, when you watch the movie, there's something dark there - something that you can barely scratch the surface of, especially if you have no deleted scenes context or knowledge, and it itches at you in a wrong way in the most positive way possible, because somehow you also relate to it. It adds that dark part, a "reality" of sorts, that some other Christmas stories don't have, but quite a few that do which snags my attention more than other standard holiday stories (well, Christmas stories have always been kind of dark, but there's a quite a few without the existential realities of life (like the greed of man, the severities of being poor, or the concept of death) thrown in).

The guy who played Smokey & Steamer (Michael Jeter, who passed away in Mar 2003 during the making of the film) is the actor who played "Mr. Noodle's brother, Mr. Noodle" on "Elmo's World". He is also the bad guy in "Air Bud", and got eaten by a velociraptor in "Jurassic Park III". Very talented man that we lost way too soon (he was only 50). A lot of kids who watched him as Mr Noodle would not be born for years after he passed, due to them rerunning all his segments for years afterwards. (the original Mr Noodle is still alive; Jeter was "Mr Noodle's brother, Mr Noodle")

This is incredible, thank you so much for showing us this! This clears up so much of the ambiguity in the film over who the homeless fella was and why he was there. The movie probably did flow better without this scene but my god does it lend some heart and context. I loved this.

[@JumpManProductions]

Bless their hearts for doing this, but I'm glad this wasn't in the film...

[@mikek1686]

We need someone to create a fully rendered version of this scene using Ai and then the movie will FINALLY be comeplete.

[@certifiedtrainboy]

I think it would've been cool, if this scene was fully finished. I bet it would've looked pretty neat, as well as for when Smokey & Steamer tell the story of the Hobo. Well...except for this: 3:30

My Thoughts Exactly.

[@cyclops8238]

I am so glad the fart joke didn't make it into the movie.

[@juliusthehedgefox2300]

I like this deleted scene is Train cabin story of hobo from The Polar Express.

[@xXSilentAgent47Xx]

It's obvious why they didn't finish this because it was disturbing to see how he was scratching his 3rd leg 3:22

[@GabePlaysYT]

Woah!! I never knew this existed! I never knew there was an actual backstory to the Hobo. Thank you for sharing!

[@livywithane]

This was disturbing-ly funny, but I'm kinda glad this was taken out.😅😬

[@waldo_9338]

I am puzzled as to why they would remove this scene, it explains so much about the movie.

[@nostalgiajumper0233]

Yeah I’m asking the same question

[@darkyboode3239]

For pacing apparently.

[@fiammanerapatrick3215]

It sort of adds to the mystery

Train: suffering a meltdowm Those characters: ok is dance time.

[@dreaming-of-stars5613]

This movie is a lot more terrifying when it’s not finished

[@AesopB-n5x]

The beard 😭😭😭

[@user-TheVirus_Offical]

While I get why it was cut, it would have been nice to have an explanation for the hobo on the train since he isn't explained

[@complex2live]

This is such a good movie. One year ago I made a bit of an analysis on the hobo, and even thought he song is good, what interests me the most is the secret story about the hobo. A fan recommended this video to me recently, and its always fun to look at these behind the scenes videos.

[@JupiterthetankengineYT]

3:30 WHAT THE HELL 3:24 BEARD CLIP AND HAND RIG CLIPS 4:07 WTH HAPPENED WITH THE FACE RIGS?? 4:40 ok they want us to laugh at this point

[@DaDurrOffical]

really changes my thoughts about that 29.99 on prime i just spent for this....

[@pwaters9658]

This also could be "VR chat 64" mocap has come a long way

[@lukemclain4985]

I thought it was pretty obvious that he was taken out by the tunnel that he’s so vigilant on avoiding with Hero boy.

[@SpaceAnimators]

The un rendered (I think) Smokey is so creepy

[@kipzmc2024]

I saw this a few years ago and have been looking for it… too bad this scene wasn’t in the Final Cut of the movie! The hobo’s backstory was interesting!

[@Therealdeal668]

I used to watch this all the time as a young kid I watched it every day
