Det er historien om den lille navnløse dreng, der er begyndt at tvivle på, at Julemanden eksisterer. Han ligger vågen en snefyldt juleaften og venter på lyden af klokkerne på julemandens slæde. Måske hører han ikke noget i år... Men pludselig hører han noget. Han springer ud af sengen og hen til vinduet, og kigger ud. Der står et stort skinnende blankt sort tog lige foran hans hus! Han skynder sig udenfor og bliver mødt af togets konduktør, der spørger, om han vil med. Drengen spørger hvorhen, og konduktøren siger "Til Nordpolen selvfølgelig. Det her er Polar-ekspressen".
Om bord på toget møder drengen en masse andre børn; der er ham der ved alt, Kloge Åge; der er pigen der, til trods for at hun er både dygtig og intelligent, ikke har nogen selvtillid; og så er der den ensomme dreng, der er vokset op i et kærlighedsløst hjem og derfor ikke har tillid til andre mennesker. Alle disse møder drengen, og sammen drager de på en fantastisk rejse gennem et fortryllende landskab mod Nordpolen, hvor de skal møde Julemanden.
Undervejs sker der spændende ting og sager. De får serveret varm kakao af togets syngende og dansende tjenere, de møder den mystiske vagabond i én af togets vogne, og så er de lige ved at køre af sporet på vej ned af Gletcher Dybet – som tilfældigvis er den stejleste nedkørsel i verden.
Når børnene kommer frem til Nordpolen bliver de mødt af et strålende syn. Julemandens by, der er fyldt med gaver - og nisser – flyvende nisser; ballon nisser, og så almindelige nisser selvfølgelig. Børnene skal møde selveste Julemanden, og det bliver spændende at se, hvilket barn der bliver den heldige, når Julemanden uddeler den første gave i år...
Beskrivelse: [ Dansk Engelsk ]
It doesn't matter where the train is going. What matters is deciding to get on.
Described by Empire as 'A film that's both sentimental and extraordinary' and by the Daily Mirror as "more fun than opening your pressies under the tree", The Polar Express is based on the best selling children's book by Chris Van Allsburg which has sold over 5 million copies worldwide. A must-own classic seasonal film saw audiences flock to cinemas last Christmas to enjoy the never-before-seen visual and emotional wonder of the movie. Now the engine is warming up again and film fans across the land will be hoping that the The Polar Express makes a stop under their tree this Christmas.
Directed by Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Back to the Future) and featuring the talents of Academy Award winning mega star Tom Hanks (Big, Toy Story, Forrest Gump, Castaway) The Polar Express is the first feature film entirely shot using the groundbreaking Performance Capture, an innovative visual effect technique which allows actors' live action performances to drive the emotions and movements of the digital characters in a way never seen before. It is this technique that allowed Tom Hanks to play 5 roles in the movie the Boy, the Conductor, the Tramp, the Boy's Dad and Father Christmas, it really has to be seen to be believed!
Synopsis:
A young boy lies awake in his room one snowy Christmas Eve, excited and alert. Breathing silently. Hardly moving. Waiting. He's listening for a sound he's afraid he might never hear -- the ringing bells of Santa's sleigh. The time is five minutes to midnight. Suddenly, the boy is startled by a thunderous roar. Clearing the mist from his window he sees the most amazing sight - a gleaming black train rumbles to a stop right in front of his house, the steam from its powerful engine hissing through the night sky and the softly falling snowflakes. The boy rushes outside, clad only in his pajamas and slippers, and is met by the train's conductor who seems to be waiting just for him. "Well, are you coming?" the conductor asks. "Where?" "Why, to the North Pole, of course. This is the Polar Express!" |
