Recommended as a Christmas classic

Rating: 10/10 (20 December 2008)

I was shocked, surprised and flabbergasted by the negativity I heard on Keyframe.com. My Mom and I saw it in the theatre and I thought it is a wonderful Christmas film. The film tells the wonderous story of a young, doubting boy who travels to the North Pole on a magic train on Christmas Eve along with other children, to meet Santa Claus.
I don't favorite a scene, because I love the whole film. Overall, it is a beautiful movie with wonderful characters and a truly heart-warming story. It has it's equal share of surprises, seriousness, amusement and emotion. The animation is very detailed - the larger scenes in particular are breath-taking and the music is absolutely perfect for the film. The movie is highly recommended as a classic addition to any family's Christmas movie collection.
