Polar Express

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2006)

Okay - I BELIEVE! I'm 55 yrs young - and this movie never fails to move me...It's my 21yr old Firefighter son's all-time favorite book - and my 14 yr old daughter loves to laugh at me as I get more and more engrossed in watching it over the last two years. The courtyard scene with all the elves readying the reindeer for their Christmas duties is magical - and their flight is marvelous - with the nuances of their fur a'fly'in'! The finding of the bell in the present near the end of the movie makes me teary - every time I see it...I just love everything about it - this mesmerizing, magical movie. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Mr.Zemekis, Mr.Hanks, and Santa Claus.
