Amazon.com: Destined to become a holiday perennial, The Polar Express also heralded a brave new world of all-digital filmmaking. Critics and audiences were divided between those who hailed it as an instant classic that captures the visual splendor and evocative innocence of Chris Van Allsburg's popular children's book, and those who felt that the innovative use of "performance capture"--to accurately translate live performances into all-digital characters--was an eerie and not-quite-lifelike distraction from the story's epic-scale North Pole adventure. In any case it's a benign, kind-hearted celebration of the yuletide spirit, especially for kids who have almost grown out of their need to believe in Santa Claus. Tom Hanks is the nominal "star" who performs five different computer-generated characters, but it's the visuals that steal this show, as director Robert Zemeckis indulges his tireless pursuit of technological innovation. No matter how you respond to the many wonders on display, it's clear that The Polar Express represents a significant milestone in the digital revolution of cinema. If it also fills you with the joy of Christmas (in spite of its Nuremberg-like rally of frantic elves), so much the better. --Jeff Shannon

I saw this movie in the theater with my granddaughter. We were both enthralled with the story and the excellent animation. I feel it will become a staple for the season and a classic on a par with Wizard of Oz.
I had to have it in my movie collection.

First off my rating of four stars is for the film itself and the current Blu Ray(which i do not own but rented)
Warner Bros just announced that on October 28 they will be rereleasing polar Express in 3D with four 3D glasses.
I wonder when it would pop up on Amazon?

Not only is this a great movie for all ages, but owning it on Blu-ray is fantastic. I have had the standard DVD for a few years but the Blu-ray DVD is truly several steps up in picture quality. The colors are more vivid and sound is outstanding!
