One of the 10 greatest Christmas films of all time

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2013)

It is madness to rate this movie less than 10 stars. Why? This movie is what magic is all about. It would have been amazing to see this with real people however being an animated film it is one of the greatest animated Christmas films along with about 30 other ones such as Jim Carey's A Christmas Carol. The music score is an absolute Lord of the Rings masterpiece and makes my eyes water every time I hear it. The imagination behind the train, it's route, and the north pole are just a timeless work of art. This film screams holiday classic. There is so much element and mood that it's as if you are a kid sneaking out in the snow to go on your own adventure. This film is 10 stars plus. It should have won best picture and music score in 2004. It is pure movie escapism and an absolute feat of filmmaking magnificience. I can watch this film 50 times during Christmas and it never loses it's magic. Bravo to Robert Zemeckis on this because he will be remembered as the genius to bring this book to life. Any kid would love this film. It's too good to find anything wrong with it at all. Goes beyond what's in the book by leaps and bounds. S A Storyteller
