Polar Express

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

Technologically sophisticated digital tracking joined to animation brings this children’s tale about a young boy and other kids who take a ride on the express on Christmas Eve. Believing is what it’s all about. Tom Hanks in several interesting roles and Steve Tyler of Aerosmith continues his film cameo run. Interesting as a technical piece, but it’s cold and joyless, and not just because it’s at the North Pole. Both Bronwen and I both felt uncomfortable with this from a Jewish point of view. The little one, of course, felt no contradiction and was happy to see it to be part of the herd. Some cool visuals
