Charming and Magial Movie

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2011)

"All aboard!"- time to jump on the Polar Express and make a new holiday tradition!
This is one of my favorite holiday movies, and it has become a tradition for my family to watch it every Christmas Eve. People of every age will be captivated by the charm of the Polar Express.
The colors and artwork in this movie are simply amazing! My two favorite scenes are the very opening scene, which is a quiet street covered in snow on a Christmas Eve night, and the scene where Santa lights up the tree at the North Pole. The adorable buildings at the North Pole will make you want to pack your bags and move there. The sound effects are perfect, they make you feel like you are in the story. The songs for this movie are very catchy and sweet. The song "Believe" by Josh Groban summarizes the entire movie and is one of my favorite Christmas songs.
The Polar Express has many messages, like believing in something you can't see, and the importance of friendship, which are presented along side some light humor and fun adventure. Each character, though unnamed, has characteristics that are relate-able to yourself or remind you of someone you know.
This holiday, gather your family, make some hot chocolate, and start a cozy new tradition of "listening for sound of Santa's sleigh bells".
