The Polar Express is a terrible movie

I try to give this thing a shot every year and every year it kicks me in the nuts.
Kids had it on so I stopped and watched a scene or two. Turrible.
For people that put it as one of their favorite Christmas movies: what do you like about it?
It’s awkward as hell and tough to watch IMO.

The score / music is solid.

It's a weird, cold, empty movie.

Best part is when the kid approaches hobo Tom Hanks and says “I’m looking for a girl.”

That animation is nightmare fuel to me

I think for some it’s that they grew up loving the book so they’re bound and determined that they’re gonna make themselves like the movie. It’s just hard to make a 5-10 minute read book into a feature film. There’s way too much space to try to fill. How The Grinch Stole Christmas worked because there’s a character that you can do a backstory on and The Seuss universe in and of itself kind of gives you some free rein with filler because of how wacky it is.

“Hot chocolate” is the best part of the movie to me

My son had a friend back then who looked and sounded EXACTLY like that character. Whenever we’d watch that movie we’d be like, “Oh my god, that is totally Mikey!”
He was a super nice kid though.
