| Rating |  | | Date | August 02, 2005 | | Summary | A classic movie for all ages | Content
 | This movie is destined to become a Christmas classic for all ages. The effects, narration, and the very overall integrity of this movie lends itself to "classic" status. We took our grandchildren (their first visit to the movie theater ever) and they were totally enthralled with the movie. Finally, someone has put out a product that all ages can enjoy without fear of some adult themes creeping into a scene etc. If you want to turn back the hands of time in your own life, or you just want to enjoy a Christmas movie with your family and friends, then by all means, please, get this movie. I'm 51 years old, and you can bet that when this becomes available, I'm buying this movie! |

| My wife took our son, who was just 3 years old at the time to see this. We thought since he loves trains that he would like this movie. We were wrong. He didn't like it--he LOVED it so much he wanted to see it again.
When I first saw the preview for this movie on the DVD for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, I thought that this was a live-action movie because it looked so realistic. I then took a closer look at it and saw (to my amazement) that it was animated.
From an adult's point of view, it is a breathtaking piece of work. It is so well done that you don't think of it as an animated children's movie. This movie really will become a classic for the whole family to enjoy in the future. We highly recommend it even for those of you who don't have children and are young at heart. |

| In a long time!!! Took all my kids to see this when it was released, from age 3 to 17...it was an incredible blend of fantasy and faith, and touched my soul. Brings back childhood, no matter what your age. I was shocked more people went to see the Incredibles than The Polar Express...it will be a favorite dvd for years to come,and I can't wait to share it with my grandchildren in the future.

| The Polar Express rates with the other classics of Christmas time, including Miracle on 34th Street, It's a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Carol, and many others.
This is a movie that has all the magic of Christmas. It is a pity that it was released the same time as The Incredibles, so got overlooked by many. This story has several who need to learn a lesson, like the one who is losing all faith in Christmas, and is becoming cynical about other things. He is taken on the way by the Conductor, the mysterious Hobo and his companions. With it, a kid who has been left out of the magic, a know-it-all and others like them are given exactly what they need.
I wish I had seen it on IMAX. The depth of the animation is incredible. The only weak part of the movie was that dance with the waiters, which I agree should have been left on the cutting room floor, as it distracted from the main theme.
But, the DVD is worth waiting for. I'm putting it on my Christmas list. Don't ever lose the magic! |
