Not really a Christmas classic, but still enjoyable...

Right, I think I've watched "The Polar Express" twice now. So I can't really claim to say that this is a recurring Christmas movie for me. I watched it once when it was initially released back in 2004 and once again 14 years later, as my son hadn't seen it.
This animated movie has a very nice and enjoyable storyline to tell and a good plot to share. I must admit that this is actually a movie that can easily be watched over and over again during the Christmas season, year after year. I just don't do so myself.
The CGI animation in "The Polar Express" is phenomenal and it all looks very realistic, yet reminding you that it is animated CGI. And that actually really adds a layer of enjoyment to the movie.
Needless to say that "The Polar Express" enjoys having a really good cast to do the voice acting.
"The Polar Express" is fully and wholeheartedly an animated movie that the entire family can watch and enjoy together during the Christmas season. There is something for everyone to be experienced and enjoyed here, from loveable characters to action on the roof of the train, down to cheering once the train makes it to the North Pole. Yup, definitely a movie that you should watch during the Christmas season, if you haven't already seen it.
Despite it being from 2004, then "The Polar Express" has the timeless appeal to it. It just seems to never lose its luster and charm.
