The Polar Express: An Animated Triumph

Rating: 10/10 (16 September 2008)

The Polar Express has truly everything you could ever hope for in an animated film. The film has a lot of action-packed scenes (G-rated of course) which adds to the action category. The kids are heading to the North Pole to see if jolly old St. Nick really does exist, so obviously kids who go to see this movie build up much excitement waiting for the big moment. The storyline is extremely effective in expanding the popular children's book which can be read in less than 5 minutes into a 100 minute film. And then there are the visuals. I was blown away by how good the animation of the film is, of course the film is the first to be made completely with motion capture and the results are amazing, that is only one way to put it. I loved everything about the film. In fact, if I were to rank my all-time favorite animated movies, The Polar Express would definitely be the greatest animated movie I have seen to date
