    I couldn't agree more. I've actually made it a tradition to watch this movie at least once every December. It may not be the greatest movie out there, but considering this was an adaptation of a simple but endearing children's book made in the early 2000's, it could have beena whole lot worse. (Looking at you cat in the hat) In a way everytime i pop in the dvd to watch this movie, i feel like im also on the train. Looking to reaffirm my belief. Its one if the most sacred childhood memories i got.

      No it didn’t, The Incredibles came out November 5, 2004. The Polar Express came out November 10, 2004. But it did actually come out the week before The SpongeBob Squarepants Movie, which was November 19, 2004. Close though.

      Genskiel And it’s funny you say that, because that’s exactly how Audiences rank it: The Polar Express has 63% With audience. Which I think that it deserves way more than that. And The Incredibles has 75% With audience. And again, another that deserves more percentage I think. And SpongeBob Squarepants Movie has 77% With Audience.

    It really is a great film. I can see why people hated this film but it catches the spirit of the book. I think it would’ve failed had it been a live action movie.

      My only minor nitpick with the movie is the lack of names for the characters. Overall, the movie's absolutely phenomenal.

    @OhtheSuffering 4 года назад +4

    I remember reading the book as a kid and loving its artwork and simple storyline. I didn't watch the movie for the longest time because of its mixed reviews. But after finally seeing it, I can't really complain. It's a decent "Christmas magic" kinda movie. It doesn't complicate itself with unnecessary plot, but its sentiment is maintained throughout.

    The animation doesn't hold up perfectly, but 20 years later it's still one of the best Christmas movies we've got. I'd give it a 3.5/4, but yes it was a 4/4 at the time.
    I remember that this came out when I was in kindergarten. The next year, in 1st grade, our teacher let us have a Christmas party and we came to school in our pajamas (like the kids in the movie) and we had hot chocolate, which I didn't like at the time.
    My 1st grade teacher did that every year, and that would be announced in morning announcements.
    Bonus memory: If you listen closely in the beginning, The Boy has a sister named Sarah. That was my sister's name, and since we never learn The Boy's name, she always assumed that it was Zachary- my name. I thought it was annoying then, but it's cute now.
