Family fun Christmas film with exciting adventures.

Rating: 7/10 (19 April 2015)

The animation is cool, and more cool because the images of the actors were incorporated to create the images of the characters. The effects complimented the animation well and really gave the impression of a polar world. Down to the colours and everything, the animation was well done. Perhaps though, the characters could have been given more facial expression. With the exception of Hanks, the rest of the characters didn't have their emotions portrayed very well.
It was a little weird that they didn't really have names except for Billy, which makes me wonder why. A little random to name Billy when he is not even the protagonist. Also, I liked that they had a girl character portrayed as a leader. Two thumbs up for that!
A fun film with lots of adventure that would keep both children and adults moderately engaged. I thought they would spend more time in the North Pole though, so was a bit disappointed to find out that the majority of the film is spent on the train.
