Review: A wonderful rendition of the beloved book, Polar Express draws you in and lets you remember your own childhood wonder of the magical holiday. Tom hanks not only lent his voice to FIVE of the characters, he apparently modeled the digital characters. I recomend this one not only for the DVD shelf, but also for the book shelf because your tykes will probably enjoy the story come Christmas time and never forget that reading to your kids is the best sort of bonding.
I personally think the actual animation has a long way to go in cartoons, but i also think it has come a very long way too. The characters seem a bit stiff, but perfectly beleivable if you can look around that small fact. Hopefuly more computer generated movies will be made, even though i still like an old fashioned hand drawn 'toon.
Get this one and add it to the stockings of friends and family, it's a new classic and well deserved of that title.
