Polar Express (Special Christmas Eve Show)

The Polar Express is a 2004 American animated adventure film, based on the 1985 children’s book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg. It stars Tom Hanks (in multiple roles). The film depicts human characters using live action and motion capture computer animation. Set on Christmas Eve, it tells the story of a young boy who sees a mysterious train bound for the North Pole stop outside his window and is invited aboard by its conductor.
