Title: Uh... why?
Product review: The only reason to see this movie, in my opinion, is if you are a young child. I am eleven years old. Too old to find it entertaining. I have read the excellent Chris Van Allsburg book (be sure to check out his other awesome books too) every Christmas Eve night pretty much. It has this nice smell when I open it. But it should have stayed a book. It went on for about an hour and a half longer than it should have, and most of this irrelevant time frame was spent sliding, screeching, or walking down or up areas at high speed, like on top of the train, sliding down a gift shute, etc., et(yawn)c. For me it took away the whole charm of the book to see an action-packed Polar Express. If you have to add superfluous things to a book-movie, then it should stay a book. I haven't seen Zathura yet, but maybe it will be better than this unneeded venture into animation.
