The Polar Express (2004)
Tom Hanks and director Robert Zemeckis ("Forrest Gump"; "Cast Away") reunite for "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.

I prefer the BEAN express
No
No
As someone who is OSHA certified, I can confirm they do in fact throw all safety regulations out the window on Christmas Eve. Hotwork sucks on Christmas Eve.
Christmas cares not for unblocked fire exits or maximum building occupancy
@@cyrusheim8557 Christmas cares not for minimum oxygen levels and work space limits.
@@dogwoodhillbilly or the fact that people get trampled regularly
@@cyrusheim8557 Nobody getting fired for violations is the Christmas miracle.
so this is why home alone exists
8:28 Does anyone notice how the train cars actually BEND around the corner like they're made of rubber?
Like the girl said
Its a magic train
How have I never noticed that before?
They said "↩️"
How would that look from the inside, would it be like a non Euclidean space? (or whatever it’s called)
@@pipsisisilklklkl6240I like the way you think!
Can’t wait for the Tokyo train drift scene, it was the best in the entire movie.
Konsai drifto! Maximum inertial pull!
Gas! Gas! Gas!
DEJA VU
fast as f@ck, boiiiii
I saw a really good Running in The 90s edit
Fun fact the main character is voiced by juni from spy kids
No one:
Every character in the polar express: voiced by Tom hanks
Lol, so true!
Josh Hutcherson and Nona Gaye are in it too.
The gump express
*The Microwave Express*
Josiah: Tom Hanks
Jude: Tom Hanks
Bren: Tom Hanks
also none of them have names
I still adore this movie, no matter what anyone says.
Same here!
One of my favorites, im just watching the pogger express cause haha funny
Yep same i dont care if anyone hates it atleast my whole family and me loves this and you guys
So what's your guys' favorite scenes? Mine's the Hot Chocolate part
@@lumi4178 that is a really good scene. The hot chocolate scene is my second favorite however compared to the ice scene. I always thought that seemed fun as hell
I forgot that the plot was literally just “something gets lost, three main kids do stuff they’re not supposed to but it’s okay.” The ticket, the pin, and the bell all have the exact same thing happen to them.
are you talking about polar express or harry potter?
@@justanothergalaxy8379 𝕪𝕖𝕤
Nate’s my name
In the movie's defence, they managed to create a new situation for each lost item, even if the basic plot was identical.
It had a plot?
Love how these movies always set up the premise that adults don't believe anymore and just don't question where the mystery gifts they didn't buy came from
Thank You! Like you can expect some over worked parents to think to themselves "Oh my spouse must have bought that..." but there would be Plenty of parents talking to each other like "Where the f**k do some of these incredibly intricate or expensive gift wrapped things keep coming from each year that I Know neither of us could afford?!" 😂
Ah yes, a child abduction guide disguised as a Christmas movie.
this is the polar express smh 😔✋
Well it is Tom Hanks
If they can take my kid with a train they can have him
@Wyatt Klimas True true
The Santa Clause is really about hazardous death during working hours and hiring a replacement against someone's will
8:27 i’m surprised you guys didn’t point out that the train cars are literally CURVING going around the top of the mountain just to go down for absolutely no reason whatsoever
Oh the train’s made of rubber.
The puppet scene scared the shit out of me as a child.
Same. The amount of times I cried because of those puppets
Same. The amount of times I cried because of those puppets
O Thank goodness I am not the only one
Same here
Same, It wasn't even important to the plot. It was just creepy as shit for the sake of being creepy as shit😅😅
Train engineer: **swallows pin**
MWS: *"Aight Imma head out"*
The funniest part is that they are immediately back in the next shot of the couch
Favourite part if I'm gonna be honest
who is ready for the adventures of hero boy, hero girl, and billy
shackboy and vomitgirl
With conductor man and hobolad as guest stars
And Mandark!
Time for nice guy, kind girl, and poverty boy
@@thatdudebro9918 you forgot smart-Alec person
I love how the entire movie is just people making Tom Hanks voice stupid characters against his will
He only voiced 5 characters, not that many
@@lumi4178 heh. ONLY five.
It's his project that he wanted to do it not against his will
I’m just imagining Tom Hanks voicing the characters while a gun is pointing at his head.
LMAOOOOOOOO @@leoescobar4308
This is why you don't hire the people from SIX FLAGS to make your train tracks!
i am still mad there isn't a polar express rollercoaster. That scene was clearly meant for it, you even hear a chain lift sound effect
wOaH rOtOsCoPe AnImAtIon
or whatever it is idk
In all honesty, Polar Express is extremely underrated, like a Christmas movies doesn’t need to have bright colors or jokes or anything like that, and I think that’s what makes it great, that it doesn’t have any of the usual Christmas pizazz that other Christmas films have, it tells a different symbol than being together for Christmas, it tells a story of belief, and I think it tells that story quite well!
yes
It's also really boring and has 0 stakes, conflict or tension. The whole thing is pretty pointless.
But...glad you like it though.
@@minixlemonade2335 shut
I really like the dark undertones in this movie and the score, despite the glaring flaws. It’s one of my favorite films lol
@@minixlemonade2335 0 stakes? They rode across a buckling frozen lake dude
i feel like this movie is the equivalent of a christmas willy wonka, where kids are individually sent to die. tell me i’m wrong
That's a good point, wait a minute!?
Your wrong
how do any of them die in polar express first of all
@@doge_sevens no you see it was rigged from the start, the kids just somehow worked around it
@@spicygoddess2374 nah fam that was just the spirit of Christmas
No matter how much criticism there is about this animated motion picture, I still love it with all of my heart. This was a movie that I have watched every single year of my childhood and early adult years, and it is still one of my absolute favorites of all time, hands down. Always love that exhilarating train roller coaster scene and the escape from the ice lake. The hobo is still one of my favorite random characters in this film, as well. I do admit that the film is stupid in some ways, but it's still a favorite of mine.
"Is this pin the squirrel from Ice Age?"
No it's the acorn from Ice Age.
Okay
My favourite part of this movie: none of the characters have names nor are named
Thank for this information
There's Tom hanks
Holy fuck your right
There is Santa Claus.
I just noticed that.
ah, yes. memories of running away on a train with some bald guy who's gonna "take you to the north pole to meet Santa!" and definitely won't serve you potentially poisoned hot cocoa, do sh!t to you, then knock you out and bring you back home, so that you'll only remember a little bit, and end up thinking it's a dream.
so much nostalgia.
Well you shouldn’t have trusted Tom Hanks
@@blakebridges8989 He lost his mind after being on that island for so long. Shoulda stayed in Moscow.
@@ninyaninjabrifsanovichthes45 and he was so mad that he dressed up as a cowboy saying he was a toy
@@blakebridges8989 oh yeah thats right. Tom was on HIS island......oh god
This man just summed up the entire movie.
*WE’RE ON A TIGHT SCHEDULE*
“Screw SAFETY”

This whole movie feels like a pre rendered ps2 cutscene.
Gameboy game was fun
And I still enjoy it every year
Cough, Cough, PS3, Cough.
To be honest, he looks like Young Nathan Drake from Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.
Except now with realistic movement
The real life Polar express thing is real. My family does it every year. You just ride around on a train drinking hot coco.
My family used to watch this movie every Christmas day, until we just stopped for some reason, and I haven't seen it since. I've heard it's CGI, but it looked live-action when I was a small child, so that still kinda blows my mind.... I wonder how the movie stands today. and how you guys are going to react to it. (I'm commenting before the premires, by the way. I might edit this afterwards.)
Edit, after the premiere: I can tell that it's CGI now. I don't know what to think of the film anymore, but I didn't really know what to think before the video. It's been a long time since I've seen the movie on my own.
(edited for word omission, my mistake. This is still before the premiere.)
It’s done with motion capture, which is why it makes many people, myself included, very uncomfortable. It looks realistic but at the same time it doesn’t. I hate it.
@@SolsticePeltier Ah. Maybe that's why younger me was convinced it was live-action. It probably looked more realistic than other animated films at the time, but I grew up with more cartoonish proportioned animated films. I don't really remember much about the experience other than me wanting to watch the movie because it was our tradition, so I don't think I noticed enough to be uncomfortable with it when I was younger. I was pretty oblivious back then (and still kinda am), so...
@@SolsticePeltier Uncanny valley is a hell of a drug.
@@theconman6505 it doesn't affect me i guess the characters in the movie look like they are actually alive and i have no problems with being way too realistic
they worked really hard on getting it to look at least somewhat realistic. The locomotive used the blueprints of the actual pere marquette 1225 for their model
4:29 In the real world, if someone did not have a ticket, or if their ticket was expired, a conductor probably would have told him/her to get off at the next stop to get a ticket. They wouldn't throw someone off a train, that would ruin a train's reputation.
Also the locomotive of the polar express is based on Pere Marquette 1225.
🤓
@@SavvyBigdaddySav dude
Uncool.
@@harrisonofcolorado8886i swear bro you right.
I've been watching these guys for about 7 months and I've come to the conclusion that they're heavily underrated
Agreed
My uncle helped in some of the mocap for this, so thank him some weird movements I guess
"But what about train people?"
"But what about tank people?"
Me, who likes trains and tanks:
They forget the Boat People.
Ohhhh the Boat People...

That transition into the movie through Brendan's shirt made me cry so hard
If a train was called the pogger express I would ride it
Same
There is no way most people would not ride the Pogger express

@@traktor420 not pog
Is no one gonna mention the fact that the train cars were literally bending around the mountain??
Where did physics go in this movie??
Magic
That's actually a really good question-
Physics is dead and we killed him.

Don’t care what anyone says about this movie; I love it to death
As do I. In fact, I'd dare to say it got better with age.

My favorite christmas movie
Ah yes a man of culture same i was born when i watched this this was my all time favorite christmas movie
Same
I like how the polar express is not actually an express train
It should just be called The Polar
Well, it actually is, seeing as it has only a few stops between wherever it came from and the North Pole, runs at high speed for a majority of the time, keeps on a tight schedule, and actually arrives at its destination on time.... So, yea, it *is* an *express* train.
@@TheHighRoad1748 a hight quality one tbh
Or the Polar Local.
Going over this movie now, I can’t imagine the train as anything other than an insane kidnapping plot
69th like ö poggers
3:41 "I'm glad he didn't kick out the top of the train when he did a backflip."
Back at it again at Krispy Kreme.
This made me audibly exhale with extreme amusement for 20 seconds as I read through the timed comments. Thank you kind sir.
The Monster House Christmas Special
"Monster House" was Columbia. "The Polar Express" was Warner Brothers. Not the same studio.
@@johndreibelbis1354 oh.
@@johndreibelbis1354 Dude, it's a joke
The train does have a ghost, but is he controlling the train, that is the question
then it would really be like Monster House
@@jareththegoblinking3191 good point
Thanks for making me choke on my drink at 12:14
Why do I get the feeling that everything behind the camera is just an empty room
5:33 I nearly cried of laughter 😂
"I want pictures of spiderman" unexpectedly took me out

4:00 that actually is how American train cars are held together irl, they use a coupler style called buckeye pattern or something like that
it's called a knuckle coupler
@@jimskywaker4345 thank you
Choo Choo but moderately quick and on christmas be like:
I learned recently that the reason why all of the characters faces look horrifying is bc they used Tom Hanks for all of the motion tracking.. for every. character. that keeps me up at night thank you 🙃
All voiced and mo capped by Tom Hanks?!
I love these weird cinematic tidbits, it make these weird a$$ movies even more enjoyable to watch! This is on my next movie night!
Imagine making a movie that won't even be close to how good the oscar contender Tinker Bell series is
oh my hi wimbooo its gummi lmao
F

12:27 was too legit
the hot chocolate song has been engraved into my head since i was little that its the only good part i remember
niko pfp!!!
0:55 that is the most beautiful trains-itions i've ever seen
Ha ha train pun
Lol this is crazy
I remember watching this movie when I was young thinking, “I’d love to see this movie in 3D,” All because of the scene at 6:58!! I was Ecstatic when I figured out that they rereleased this in 3D on Blu-Ray!
They did? I need it 😄
@@youtubegameraddict5016 it's the terrible red-and-blue lenses. It'll get a proper 3D Bluray release eventually.
polar express is weird. The animation is motion captured, which is why it all has such an uncanny feel.
also as a car person, tank person, and train person, I can agree that all 3 groups are scary
Yeah, we are the scariest people
The poler Express is still one of my favorite Christmas movies
13:26 when I first watched this around when it came out I actually thought this movie was something I made up in my sleep, it was 5 years later when I realized it existed on Netflix
I love this Christmas movie even though it is kinda strange and a bit creepy at some point.
Love your channel👏🏽👏🏽
Moral of the story: It’s perfectly fine to ride a train with a bunch if kids to the North Pole as long as Tom Hanks is the conductor
i remember seeing this in IMAX back when it first came out. i still feel it when they start Rollercoastering on the tracks.

@@cyclops8238 cause that’s the way things happen on the polar express

@@benwetzel8449 when we get there we scream YEY!
@@alpha_jasperflair1097 we’ll arrive with a bang bang bang, hoot hoot hoot, laughing all the way!
Polar Express is a literal masterpiece by my accounts, I grew up watching this every Christmas.
Ah yes, my favorite move: *TRAIN*
4:22 That sounded like the bird exploded
7:37 The boys have left
Microwave society is over
This is such a good childhood movie
This is one of the Christmas movies we watch every tear for tradition
You should come to NY if you want to find those "train people."
A crap ton of us come from upstate
5:24 "The Pogger Express does not care for the lives of children."
3:13 this feels like a direct attack towards me and I'm totally fine with it.
@11:06 got me laughing so hard🤣🤣 That's still funny all these years later
I’m going to miss the premiere because my grandparents just arrived. But I can’t wait to watch the video!
9:05
TUMS?
Why not Pepto Bismol?
It treats nausea, heartburn, INDIGESTION, upset stomach, and diarrhea
I’d prefer TUM,TA TUM TUM,TUMS
8:28 last time I checked trains don’t b e n d
0:43 Actually I think I know what they were talking about, cause when I was real little my family went on a train ride that was supposed to be the polar express. We still have the bell we got from Santa on the train.
Perfect vid as always from the three radiation cube men
I just found this channel and the chaotic energy that it emanates is so goddamn close to my soul
Why are y’all so Friggin’ Hilarious???? I think my roommate thinks I’m insane cause of how much laugh when I watch your videos. 😂😂
3:18 I am a tank person, and proud of it. Want me to educate you about the Tiger I's unique roadwheel configuration, and it's transmission and other mechanical issues?
You know what, sounds interesting. Explain away
I still watch this every year! I bet this is going to be hilarious!
POGGER EXPRESS 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
polar express is by far my favorite christmas movie, yet ill accept all the jokes you made accept the one with the coupler thats how they are actually designed they are nicknamed "knuckle couplers" i think you can tell why though lol
It's so weird having all of u guys together
i like that they closed the laptop before the movie ended and just told brendan what happened
2:57 THE NORTH.....POLE!!!!!!!
9:40 He really reminds me of Michael from GTA 5
“Local child kidnapped by mustachio Tom Hanks and force fed hot chocolate, POLICE BAFFLED! ‘A train, in the middle of OUR streets, balderdash!’ Cries local mayor.”
2:47 why is ned flanders the conducter
If that’s Ned Flanders,who’s Homer Simpson?
In my memory, the effects were amazing.....the faces are horrible
Me and my family watch this move every night before and the night on Christmas it's such a nostalgic move
"I lived on this movie" Josiah 2019
Couldn't choose my favorite quote, so here are two that killed me. I'm now the ghost of Christmas RUclips.
"I feel like in real life if an animal ran in front of a train it would just be... *_s a u c e."_*
"I would rather be hurdling towards my death in a caboose than think about drinking La Croix."
Say what you will, but the Hot Chocolate song will forever be what makes me actually get excited for Christmas.
1:03 was a masterful Indominus Rex impression
These guys deserve a million subs no question.
5:40
Is it just me
Or does The Christmas Ghost look so much like Edward Gein
4:08 Funnily enough, this was the unnecessary animation on the Polar Express Blu-Ray.
8:32 becomes more and more like John Mulany
"Pogger Express".
...
*"POGGER EXPRESS".*
10:17 Saaame, I hate mineral water so much lmaoo
Soda stream is better
12:29 hold up wait a minute that’s the star of RUSSSIA.........
As someone who loves this movie, your commentary made it so much more entertaining
6:04 is an uncomfortable freeze-frame
When the guy exploded on top of the train right before that tunnel, I could hear the "We'll be Right Back!" music playing in my head -
