Review

There comes an age when children begin to doubt childhood wonders -- and the existence of Santa Claus tops that list. Thankfully, there's the Polar Express to whisk suspicious boys and girls off to adventure and to see Saint Nick himself. Based on Chris Van Allsburg's book, the film follows the exploits of three such children, who all learn a thing or two about themselves, and how to keep the spirit of Christmas alive within. Using a groudbreaking animation technique that goes one step further in making animated characters seem lifelike -- and it's both impressive and just a little bit creepy -- The Polar Express is a charming, sometimes jubilant and sometimes abstract tale of one such journey that is fraught with danger, music, thrills, laughter and a whole lot of wonder. Hanks supplies various voices, most notably as the conductor who knows more than he's letting on. The ride he takes these children on is a beguiling one, not as sumptuous as it could be, but magical nonetheless. As such, The Polar Express just misses the mark as a classic holiday film, but its pleasures are many and its breadth and breath both gracious and inviting.
