Robert Zemeckis and Tom Hanks teaming up has been a recipe for box-office success, with collaborations like Forrest Gump and Cast Away receiving tons of awards and nominations. Critics seemed to change their tune a little when the pair brought “The Polar Express” to life, based on a short children’s picture book of the same name.
The Polar Express movie definitely raises some questions. Like why did they think they could make a non-horrifying animated kids movie using entirely motion capture? What’s up with that hobo? Why does “Hero Boy” spend a bunch of time trying to give a girl her ticket back? What’s up with Tom Hanks playing all these characters? How does the kid still not believe while standing in the middle of the North Pole? Why is this all so unsettling and scary?
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to The Polar Express! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

well- I heard this from a different christmas movie. He gives good little girls and boys toys, and bad ones get coal? right? No, the poor ones get coal, it will keep their home warms and that is a better gift than any toy. But for the bad kids? they get nothing.

The train is a symbol. "One thing about trains: It doesn't matter where there going, what matters is to deciding to get on." isn't how train works, it's how life works. A more actual variant can be "I will keep moving forward". Okay... the whole quote is "I will keep moving forward until I exterminate the enemy!" (Shingeki no Kyojin) but this sounds a bit rough. The point is that you cannot plan life to it's end and whatever happens you must decide to go forward somehow.

@@ChangedMyNameFinally69 Sounds maybe less cringer when you know what he says when someone comment that he's murdering innocent children during his extermination: "It's not over yet!" ... -_- But back to the train metapher it's the same: Everyone has to make decisions... that doesn't mean you can change your direction by chosing another train but it's still a train then. Another decision you're chosing and you cannot calculate where it ends but even when it's not the same time maybe you can take a train back. "You can never take this back." is another quote in this scene so... for this character it's barely... an inconveneience... but even without a golden ticket... cause he can power a train with brutal force... can he easily switch direction... a direction of peace and harmony... where all the blood is only tomato sauce... and the children and enemies are cute puppets... cute ripped smashed puppets without heads... I give up. ^^ Life lesson: If you want the next train back, ask once again wether it's that train that's moving forward into starting a war.

3:55 is super funny to me, cuz my stand told me a story how he was really poor growing up and on his street was pretty much all the poor people and the next street over were nice houses and middle class people. He said as a kid "Why doesnt Santa ever get us anything for Christmas like the other kids." His friend said "Santa doesnt like poor people" Him and his friends were all sad and kept playing soccer with a taped ball. Its sad, but my dad told it to me as a funny story. he always makes light of his early life.

The hobo is based on a lot of old stories common among rail crews. Any old timey career where it was common to die on the job had similar stories, sometimes involving supernatural creatures or folkloric figures. For example the song Big John and stories of kobolds for miners. Back when model trains were a big thing kids were into the stories were kind of known. Since the kid is vaguely in the 50’s and has a model train its safe to assume he’s aware of stories of ghost hobos or living incarnations of the season helping travelers and railroad workers.
