Quotes:
« The Conductor: Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see.

« The Boy: Thank you.
»
« The Conductor: No, thank YOU. One thing about trains… it doesn't matter where they're going. What matters is deciding to get on.

« Hero Boy: At one time most of my friends could hear the bell, but as years passed it fell silent for all of them. Even Sarah found one Christmas that she could no longer hear its sweet sound. Though I've grown old the bell still rings for me, as it does for all who truly believe.

Plots:
On Christmas Eve, a young boy embarks on a magical adventure to the North Pole on the Polar Express, while learning about friendship, bravery, and the spirit of Christmas.
This is the story of a young hero boy who boards on a powerful magical train that’s headed to the North Pole and Santa Claus’ home on Christmas Eve night. During this ride, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery which shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe.
Wrestling with burgeoning doubts on the ever-present question over Santa Claus’ existence, the skeptical youngster, Hero Boy, hears the familiar sound of a locomotive which interrupts his already troubled sleep. And then, much to his surprise, a cryptic conductor invites him to board the magnificent Polar Express on an unforgettable and magical adventure all the way up to the frozen landscapes of the vast North Pole, Santa Claus’ realm. Will he and the rest of the young non-believers aboard the train finally find the true spirit of Christmas?
