In this episode of The Movie Men Podcast, Brady and Carl turn their attention to The Polar Express, Robert Zemeckis’s animated holiday film based on the book by Chris Van Allsburg. Set on Christmas Eve, the story follows a young boy who boards a mysterious train bound for the North Pole, embarking on a journey filled with wonder, doubt, and discovery.
The film is known for its pioneering use of motion-capture animation, its sweeping winter visuals, and Alan Silvestri’s memorable score. With themes centered on belief, childhood imagination, and the magic of Christmas, The Polar Express has become a seasonal staple for many families since its release.
Brady and Carl discuss the movie as a piece of holiday cinema, its place in early 2000s animation, and how its style and storytelling contribute to its lasting reputation.
