Excellent animated film (Brings back the child in me)

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2004)

The Polar Express is one of the most outstanding and most spectacular animated films i've ever seen. I felt like I went back to my childhood days and remember myself many Christmasses ago when I kept waiting for Santa like what Hero Boy in the film did. I can see myself in him.. I just felt like I was a kid again when I saw the film The film has a beautiful story (thanks to the book of course) and a very wonderful music. The OST "Believe" is perfect and suits the film so well. This movie made me want to "BELIEVE" literally. It is just so wonderful and it brings back the magic of Christmas.
I would like to quote the famous lines of the book which I truly love and which are in the movie as well: "On Christmas Eve, many years ago, I lay quietly in my bed. I did not rustle the sheets. I breathed slowly and silently. I was listening for a sounda sound a friend told me I'd never hearthe ringing bells of Santa's sleigh" "At one time most of my friends could hear the bell, but as years passed, it fell silent for all of them. Even Sarah found one Christmas that she could no longer hear its sweet sound. Though I've grown old, the bell still rings for me as it does for all who truly believe." To sum it up, this movie is a must-see and while the Yuletide season is not yet over, it's good if you can go catch it in the theaters while you still can. I will definitely buy the VCD of the Polar Express when it's released so that I got something to cherish every Christmas.
