About this product

Product Information

Director Robert Zemeckis revolutionized the art of animated film in 1998's WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT by dropping cartoon characters into the same frame with flesh-and-blood actors. In THE POLAR EXPRESS, live action and animation have merged seamlessly, resulting in sparkling super-realism. A landmark technique Zemeckis and his Sony Pictures Imageworks team call "Performance Capture" perfectly suits the tenor of this wondrous children's Christmas story by Chris Van Allsburg. A disillusioned little boy, just old enough to doubt the existence of Santa Claus, has the adventure of a lifetime one fateful Christmas Eve. Clad in his pajamas, he climbs aboard a magic train to the North Pole, driven by a kindly train conductor (voiced by Tom Hanks who starred in both of Zemeckis's Academy-Award winning films FORREST GUMP and CASTAWAY). Among myriad jaw-dropping moments, the train plummets brakeless through crystalline mountains in a simulated roller coaster ride. Going off the rails, skidding sideways, and snaking violently across a frozen lake, the train arrives at the North Pole (a vast, glowing city of brick buildings). At that moment, the car carrying the kids detaches and they're sent tumbling down never-ending chutes and slides until they land in the middle of Santa's Workshop. With its fascinating tale and impressive technical frolics, THE POLAR EXPRESS is destined to become both a holiday classic and a new turning point in the art of animated cinema.

    Replacement of stolen,lost movies.

    I had the movie years ago. It was an awsome movie. Buy, with a divorce in 2018, I list many of my favorite movies. Polar Express, The 3 disc Santa Clause with Tim Allen and many others. I am just now financially able to replace them. Divorce is a terrible thing to have happen. I'm just pleased that I can find the movies to replace the ones that I lost. Pirates of the Caribbean is the next series to get replaced. I only get retirement pay once a month, so I have to choose carefully where I spend my money.

    It was brand-new, unopend. It will stay ...

    It was brand-new, unopend. It will stay that way until next year when we watch the movie again. This copy of the Polar Express is a replacement for one that was watched this year and proved to be damaged.

    That this is a great animated film is beyond question --- it has been a favourite of mine for some years. But I could never seem to get a decent copy in this area, even bran-new from the factory, as it were. So I finally thought of ordering a used copy that was already assessed as in good condition & so I now have a decent (excellent!) copy of my own at last!

  • A GREAT CHRISTMAS MOVIE

    The Polar Express is one of my very favorite Christmas movies! And it's absolutely my Favorite recent (within the last 10 years) animated Christmas movie. The movie plays just fine, with no skips, delays, or malfunctions. The visual quality of the movie is excellent-sharp and clear, with no problems. The sound is also excellent.

  • The Polar Express is the best modern Christmas movie.

    The Polar Express is the best modern Christmas movie. It's a sweet classic that deserves to be seen at least once each year, maybe twice. Tom Hanks is the conductor of the Polar Express! There are catchy songs like the Hot Chocolate number! The magical hobo ... I had to own it. I got the full screen DVD version and the copy is like new - free shipping, total $5.99. Whatta deal. Merry Christmas! I believe!

    I have always loved this film and looked forward to seeing it on TV. I recently cut the cord and haven't gotten my act together on my viewing options yet. This is one of the few Christmas films I missed seeingseeing so when I saw the dvd at a good price I bought it. It's one of my best purchases, I've watched it several times and enjoy it more because I can see it when I want to.
