Excellent and spell-binding

Rating: Null/10 (13 November 2004)

This film is absolutely breathtaking in its reality. At times I had to scrutinize the screen to confirm that it was, in fact, animation. The story is very touching. Tom Hanks' talent is amazing. It was a surprise when I read the credits and found that he had not one, but six roles. I was reading to determine who Santa Claus was...yep, Tom Hanks. The runaway train scenes are fantastic. The wolf scenes will touch the heart of any animal lover.
The strength of the 'hero girl's' character is wonderful. The transformation of the children's characters is wonderful. What can I say, I truly enjoyed this film.
