The Zemeckis Family Films - Part 5
The Polar Express
Starring Tom Hanks, Michael Jeter, Chris Coppola, Peter Scolari
Directed by legendary filmmaker Robert Zemeckis (Romancing the Stone, Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Forrest Gump)
Bonus: A special conversation with producer Steve Starkey
Tom Hanks and director Robert Zemeckis ("Forrest Gump"; "Cast Away") reunite for The Polar Express, an inspiring adventure based on the beloved children's book by Chris Van Allsburg. When a doubting young boy takes an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery that shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe.
Roger Ebert - “The Polar Express is a movie for more than one season; it will become a perennial, shared by the generations. It has a haunting, magical quality because it has imagined its world freshly and played true to it, sidestepping all the tiresome Christmas cliches that children have inflicted on them this time of year. The conductor tells Hero Boy he thinks he really should get on the train, and I have the same advice for you.”
Hollywood Reporter: “Based on Chris Van Allsburg’s best-selling 29-page novel about a boy’s waning faith in Santa Claus and his revitalizing journey to the North Pole, The Polar Express is the first computer-generated film based on the performances of humans. But the film is not sheer wizardry; it also has heart.”
