Description

Late one Chrstmas Eve, a boy is startled out of his bed by the loudest rumbling he's ever heard. What he sees out his window is something beyound his wildest imagination: not Santa Claus, but a huge steam train, spanning the length of his neighboehood. The boy climbs aboard, not knowing that he is in for the adventure of a lifetime! As the Polar Express barrels towards the North Pole, the boy and his new friends encounter a wise conductor, a pair of bumbling brothers, and a ghostly king. After a hair-raising ride that includes a close call with caribou and a near derailment, the Polar Express finally enters North Pole City... with hardly any time to spare. Have the boy and his friends arrived in time to attend the first gift ceremony, or have they missed their only chance to meet the city's most famous resident?
