Advantages: Amazing animation, enchanting story Disadvantages: a bit scary for some younger kids
through your head for the next two months, or are living in fear of the saccharin Christmas themed TV that will grace our screens from now until February, then without a doubt, The Polar Express is a definite must.
I would suggest, that if you are watching it with small children, make sure you stick close by in the beginning. It can be a little bit frightening for the little ones.
It is an enchanting film with more honesty, intrigue and imagination than any other Santa-starring films you will see. The cinematography is exceptional and the story is a unique and intriguing twist on the usual Christmas tale.

I live in the centre of Sheffield less than 5 minutes walk from the main Interchange bus station and I travel to my work in Rotherham by bus every weekday. This is ...
Advantages: It tries to bring a little known hero to light. Disadvantages: It's hackneyed in all respects.

The large number of montages alone requires a lot of scoring, courtesy of Mark Isham. The majority of the arrangements centre around warm, hopeful string refrains. There are also insistent piano arrangements that set the scene, deep bowed cellos and electric guitar with rising brass and drums for Ernie?s first high school game and the usual triumphal brass for victories. However, there seem to be passages of music for virtually every scene, so you filter it out after a while. It also feels as though the composer is trying to blackmail you into feeling whatever emotion he?s pushing. The other soundtrack choices include popular music of the day from black artists, including ?Mojo Working?, and ?What I?d Say?. They add a historical context, but overall the music feels overzealous.
