Product Description
Movie DVD
Amazon.com
Destined to become a holiday perennial, The Polar Express also heralded a brave new world of all-digital filmmaking. Critics and audiences were divided between those who hailed it as an instant classic that captures the visual splendor and evocative innocence of Chris Van Allsburg's popular children's book, and those who felt that the innovative use of "performance capture"--to accurately translate live performances into all-digital characters--was an eerie and not-quite-lifelike distraction from the story's epic-scale North Pole adventure. In any case it's a benign, kind-hearted celebration of the yuletide spirit, especially for kids who have almost grown out of their need to believe in Santa Claus. Tom Hanks is the nominal "star" who performs five different computer-generated characters, but it's the visuals that steal this show, as director Robert Zemeckis indulges his tireless pursuit of technological innovation. No matter how you respond to the many wonders on display, it's clear that The Polar Express represents a significant milestone in the digital revolution of cinema. If it also fills you with the joy of Christmas (in spite of its Nuremberg-like rally of frantic elves), so much the better. --Jeff Shannon The World of The Polar Express

 BEWARE and WATCHFUL March 9, 2010
B. Eckelberger (CANYON LAKE, TX, US)
I ordered the movie and never received it. I was never notified that the movie was returned to them. I was only offered a refund after contacting them.
 Happy with this product March 9, 2010

The DVD came in great condition and within a reasonable amount of time. I'm very happy with my purchase.
Great Christmas movie March 3, 2010
K & K's Mom (New Jersey)
Bought this movie to watch on Christmas night. My son is 4 and he loved it. I can't wait for next Christmas when my daughter can get to watch it with the family (she's will be 2) provided she can keep her attention throughout the movie (which I doubt). It will be a nice Christmas tradition to start for our young family.
Polar Express DVD March 1, 2010
William E. Jouris (Littleton, MA USA)
If you've read my reviews of the CD and book you know we loved the movie. We bought a copy of the DVD to watch it over and over in the future. This is a great rendering of the movie, particularly if you have a large screen TV.
Great Purchase! February 22, 2010
Karen J. Weise
This was a great purchase. My 3 year old son loves trains and this movie. I couldn't find it at any local stores. Amazon was a life saver! My son watches it at least 3 times a week! Great purchase!!!
