Literally me rn
When you opend all your present already 💀
Opening presents rn lmao
Same here
What's a babe? 😔
Fun fact: a few scenes, usually wide shots, the Polar Express has over 12 carts.
In the beginning the train was suppose to have double the amount of carts, but they changed it during production. At this point, multiple scenes had already been worked on for months. They decided not to redo it as it would cost too much money.
You could argue that they lost some kids on the way to the North Pole.

Agree
This holds a special place in my heart 'cause my school did a popcorn sale thing that my class won by a landslide. Basically we got the day off, got to watch Polar Express and at the start of the movie we had an all access snackbar of hotdogs, corndogs, nachos and popcorn. The school even got us that super salty liquid butter stuff and best of all - a hot chocolate machine. We drank hot chocolate and ate theater food while watching Polar Express so naturally I have super fond memories. Sitting there with a hotdog, corndog, a buttery small bucket of popcorn I drenched in that butter stuff and a big cup of hot cocoa.
I remember the animation looking so much better when I used to watch this. I actually thought it was live action.

I imagine the reason why the Elves immediately start partying after Santa fucks off is because they've been working 16 hour shifts for the whole year to make all these presents for every kid on Earth and this is literally their only day off.
Well, but, the thing is, they don't even come in until September...
I think according to the santa lore the elves dont really work that long either. I mean kids start writing to santa usually on november. I think those elves are jobless for most of the year unless they have side jobs like helping the easter bunny or some shi.
CHRISTMAS TIME IS KILLING US!
11:51 I watched this movie yesterday and when I saw this part I wondered exactly what High Boi would say about this part. Now I have my answer.
Highboi: "AKCHUALLY, THIS TRAIN CAN'T DO NONE OF THIS SHIT BECAUSE STEEL AND ICE DON'T WORK THAT WAY"
Highboi when Akchtually Kid begins literally doing the same: "This kid starts saying stupid shit, causing the lead kid to ignore him."
Nice deflection there.
When i Was a dumbass kid i swear i thought this was real. I could not believe my Parents when They said this Was not real
As a train nerd, I love that scene despite how unrealistic it is lol
REAL AS FUCK

Short explanation on the Lake Drift scene: you controll drift angle with speed, braking and accelerating. If we persume the train was "drifting" on the ice due to it having no grip at all the steering via brake and speed up makes total sense.
I literally watched this like a day or two ago with my friend and i was like "if high boi had a summary on this movie, i would show it" what a coindidence
This was me last night
@@NoMercyProGirl lmao
1:23 that kid is wrong on several points. he says that the train was build by Baldwin Works in 1931, but it was actually built by Lima Works for the Pere Marquette Railway in 1941, and Pere Marquette was purchased by Chespeake and Ohio whih became the Chessie System. Since steam got replaced by diesel in the 1950s, the train was put in a yard and was restored in the 1970s and is today used for heritage service. So i guess i am that kid, but with more train knowledge.
Are you challenging me?
There's a reason his lesson was learn.
He was like a redditor, say facts about studies he read, when in reality, he just read the headline of the article.
"I'm you, but better"...
🤓
7:35 I’m gonna be the “Ackchyually” guy and say that both wheels are turning and that, throwing out that the train wouldn’t be getting enough traction, the driver is reversing and driving the wheels forward to get left and right motion and that is technically possible but not for a massive steam locomotive. Also, the train hitting that ice cold water underneath the ice would’ve blown the steam pipes in the boiler and created an explosion that would destroy the train.
This actually just made my christmas I didn't have anyone to celebrate with but waking up and seeing this video posted is the best gift I could ask for. Thank you and I hope you have a great Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
From a stranger on the internet I hope that you've had the best Christmas possible dude!!!
merry christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2:18 this movie has a lot of memes.
☝️
this is one of them
It is only possible to understand the plot completely if you are high too 💀
The plot still don’t make sense 💀 the whole movie pisses me off they are so dumb
Ikr like why tf did you go on top of the train instead of through it
@@suzh1983 not even that why is there personalities so bad especially that kid they stop the train for didn’t even say thanks wtf
12:15 This part really make me laugh for 5 minutes
6:35 "the roads are frozen over so im sliding on this ice" -Danny Gonzalez "Rolling"
Fun fact for High Boi: the locomotive was inspired by the Pere Marquette No.1225, which is now used for excursions around Christmas time in Michigan.
To add on to this, the main reason for the inspiration was that the writer used to play on this locomotive as a boy when it was on display in a park! And since the number was 1225 the date of Christmas obviously you nob he wrote a story about it. This sold well, and since people recognized the locomotive, it allowed for a group of college students and train enthusiasts the chance to restore the locomotive to operation for tourist trains, which you can still do to this day 😉
Tom Hanks: How many characters am I voicing?
Film creators: Yes
09:55 it's really overly dramatic because it's her whole arc. it was first hinted at with the brakes on the train where she didn't trust herself to remember which lever was the brake.
but now, she's trusting herself!
4:34 this statement explains all the other things you ranted about after it. Fire staying lit in extreme wind? Dream. Missing footprints? Dream inside voices? Dream
I've seen this movie about 1000 times, and I can't wait to have my childhood memified.
This is just such a bad strange creepy movie. It just sucks tbh
When your generation wants itself "memefied" you know it's beyond hope
@@SpicyTexan64so you dont celebrate christmas? i respect that
@@SpicyTexan64 I agree, even as a kid just by looking at the poster in theaters I figured this was just a creepy movie made by weirdos.

A new High Boi video on Christmas?

Why don't the parents believe? Do they just not question where the presents came from? "Oh, look some presents from Santa that we didn't get just appeared here. Must have been the wind."
2:06 lil bro paid the 13 quid
That top gear clip gets me everytime 😂😂😂
The last scene out the conductor telling the kid, that the important part is about getting on a train is a metaphor for saying
"You only get to enjoy things in life, once you decided to actually seize the opportunity to do so".
The train is the embodied opportunity, and the meetup with Santa is the reward for it.
I remember watching this, not realizing it was animated, and thinking Americans actually looked like this.
💀
The perfect Christmas video
Thanks High boi, this is the best Christmas gift!
Surprised you didn’t mention how while the polar express is going up the mountain at 7:54, it bends around the mountain like it’s a snake
Highboi really missed the rosa Park joke about the girl having to go to the back of the train 😂
6:23 "Running in the 90s" - missed opportunity :D
no. just no.
hes explaining it and constantly cutting the video so it would not match at all
OMG! Thank you so much for the deer part. Was not sure it was me being an idiot from Sweden never learning English properly cause I never heard caribou before seeing this movie either. Now I can confirm it's probably old-timy English that is probably not used anymore.
watching these videos feels more refreshing than actually rewatching the movies
This movie gave me an unnatural urge for the perfect christmas bell as a child, and I remember someone got me this super nice polished silver bell ornament and I was more excited than when I opened our xbox on christmas morning :v
11:09 There is no way the elves heard the conducter
I went on a field trip as a kid to see this movie in 3D and remember getting the absolute worst headache ever. I am cursed to remember that skull splitter every time I think about this movie.
Can't believe there's an EAS scenario involving the titular Polar Express.
My favorite clip 2:44
We watch the polar express every Christmas eve! I love it because it really brings warmth into our home having traditions like that
The train drift is the most epic shit that has ever happened in a Christmas movie.
It’s amazing how they stretch out short children’s books into full blown Movies and Shows

As a train enthusiast I can confirm that steam engines don’t rumble the ground like a 4/5 port Thunderbolt chopper

Yes, it is true that you can't brake one side of a train since all wheels are on axles, meaning they are statically connected to each other with a massive metal shaft.
BUT, the locomotive in the movie is based on a 2-8-4 Berkshire. The 2-8-4 notation means it has 2 leading wheels, 8 driven wheels and 4 trailing wheels.
The leading wheels are there to "steer" (or guide) the locomotive around the track and to also protect the comparatively expensive driven wheels as well as support the firebox above them.
When the leading wheels encounter a bend in the track, they either turn on a bogie or they flex to one side and thus "steering" the locomotive that direction through basically flexing the whole undercarriage of the locomotive.
Also, not all driven wheels have flanges on them. If they did, the locomotive would most definitely bind in a corner and wreck its wheels or the track. The middle 2 driving wheels are simply FLAT and for all intents and purposes act more like rubber tires than they do steel train wheels.
So to answer some concerns you have.
- Could you get a train moving on pure ice?
Yes, even ICE has friction. Though in movie fantasy science, anything is possible. It would take a great deal of effort to get the thing moving without spinning the wheels and just melting wheel shaped indents in the ice. The middle driving wheels are flangeless, but for them to make good contact, the flanges must have sunk down into the ice. And when they have sunk down into the ice, they encounter pure ice which they have to crunch through before being able to move.
In other words, it would be close to impossible to get the locomotive moving under its own power if the flanges are sunk down into the ice. Though, if you could back up the train and get a running start, it might just be able to push through or even walk its way ontop of the ice, just running on its flanges.
- Can you turn a locomotive on ice?
Technically yes, practically no. Unless you hook up a mechanical leverage to the leading wheels that can make them point where you wanna go. For obvious reasons, locomotives don't actually come with those leveraging devices since it's the track that does the steering.
- Can you "drift" a locomotive?
Given the two answers above, if you can move forward and you can steer then you can drift.
Again, movie physics makes it look like you could steer it like it's a truck on a slippery road. In reality, the drifting would be very subtle if you wanna control the drift, or it could be a short lived sideways drift that would make you stall pretty soon.
In summary, trains are not really going to work well on ice and in the real world, this train would have gone through the ice because it would be cracking it as it moved on it. There's just too much mass resting on too small a surface area for even the thickest of ice to handle. It would crack and the locomotive would be sitting on its boiler on the ice with the wheels in the cracks.
Unless it's really magically super hard ice, which rarely occur naturally.
Also, given the way the train was sliding, chances are it would dig its wheels into the ice, find traction with its flanges and then flip the whole thing sideways and they would be in a train wreck.
But movie magic. This is a fantasy ANIMATED movie... Anything is possible.
Belive me or not, I was thinking why Highboi hasnt make video about Polar Express yet. And then this video pop up in my feed, This is like Best Present on christmast, Thank you.
This vid was the best gift I got this Christmas
This movie and Die Hard are probably my favorite Christmas movies.
I legit thought High Boi just put random words into a generator for his scores BUT this video proves he intentionally chooses his words bc he uses Chrysler as a reference to the Christmas meme at the start of the video. Big High Boi Lore everyone.
“Tom the Hank Engine” God damn it, I believe with this ingenious title we have finally reached the limits of human creativity.
This review is better than an express ride to the North Pole! So, Santa uses a wormhole. Guess he's more tech-savvy than we thought!
3:16 **Train Jumpscare**
💀
Yes, Goofy Ahh... 💀
Ah yes the best christmas gift, a high boi video
Bro I watch this with my family every Christmas eve and always criticise the film just like you, this is the funniest vid iv watched in a long time
The. Best. Christmas. Movie. Ever.
Nothing and no one can change my mind.
Bro the kid in the back of the train probably had his life flash before his eyes when his compartment (I dunno the term for the train parts) was like 90% submerged in icy water.
Now, I’m no train expert, but I’ll leave my understanding of a explanation of the drift scene from a while back. Trains, unlike cars, don’t need to have their wheels aligned or to have them spin at the exact same rate as it’s on tracks, it’s not like it’s going to turn off tracks. So most trains, especially a lot older ones didn’t have aligned wheels. So if you have a heavy object going at full speed forward and with no friction, by changing the direction either forwards or backwards, you would still go forward as you would still have immense amounts of inertia from the initial time after the j turn and turn depending on how much the wheels are not aligned, forward being the side the wheels spin slower and vice versa when going backwards.
That "achkcually" Kid in this movie was way ahead of his time lmfao
that kid just gaslit himself into that christmas spirit
Shhhh, the train drifting sequence was peak.
merry christmas high boi!
"wheres this train going?"
".....hell."
"......... DUDE SWEET"
I loved this movie. It takes me back to my childhood. Thanks hiboy.🙏🏻😄
watching this at 12 pm is the weirdest fever dream ever
I love that “ice age scrat thing” is now a thing!
A high boi video on Christmas! Best gift ever!
The first time I watched this movie was a year ago, in french, I didn't understand a word but I was blown by the drifting on ice part
1:22 killed me. I spat out my drink
Loved the little top gear clip, you have great taste high boi
Merry Christmas High Boi. :)
I also thought the conductor was older him until i realized EVERY adult was voiced by tom hanks, santa too, and the dad, and the ghost
That train was either going to the North Pole or Epstein Island.
7:32 you’re correct their axles on the inside are connected so basically, there is two wheels, one on each side side of one axle
"wake up, its Christmas!"me:"Shut the f*** up a out Christmas I'm watching high boi!!!"
Congrats on 100 videos

very suprised he didnt point out the elf that didnt get animated in the scene with all them walking, was very much expecting him too shit on them for that lol
Fun Fact: this movie is based off the Pere Marquette 1225 the REAL Polar Express and if you look closely when the cotter pin shears off see a Time flux capacitor in the locomotive

He's schizophrenic. That's why he's the only one who can hear the bell, but convinces his sister that it's ringing.
ha I 've watched this movie yesterday with me mother to remember the time I was a kid... and boy nostalgia hit me like a truck
3:42 that meme is so brutal 💀
Ah yes, the Electric Boogaloo, the best instrument.
Also, a movie about believing, and not one person says "Don't stop believin'."
Tom Hanks could've easily said that when he left the train.
“Then gets thrown off the train for being black, or sorry, not having a ticket” 😂
9:35 you laugh you have to like this comment
And no I’m not begging
i remember watching this with my parents in the cinema when it came out, i even still have the gamecube game we had back then (no gamecube tho)
Not the guy to usually comment. Just wanted to let you know, that when I see a new video from you after a hard day of work. Whatever the mood. I feel this irrational joy while clicking ☺️ just wanted to say thanks real quick 🙌stay high boy ♥️🙏
