On Christmas Eve, a young boy embarks on a magical adventure to the North Pole on the Polar Express, while learning about friendship, bravery, and the spirit of Christmas.
Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can’t see.
– The Conductor
There’s no greater gift than friendship.
– Santa Claus
At one time most of my friends could hear the bell, but as years passed it fell silent for all of them. Even Sarah found one Christmas that she could no longer hear its sweet sound. Though I’ve grown old the bell still rings for me, as it does for all who truly believe.
– Hero Boy
The thing about trains… it doesn’t matter where they’re going. What matters is deciding to get on.
– The Conductor
I believe.
– The Boy
All aboard!
– The Conductor
This bell is a wonderful symbol of the spirit of Christmas – as am I. Just remember, the true spirit of Christmas lies in your heart.
– Santa Claus
Are you saying that this is all just a… dream?
– The Boy
You said it, kid! Not me.
– Hobo
Well, ya comin’?
– The Conductor
Where?
– The Boy
Why, to the North Pole, of course! This is the Polar Express!
– The Conductor
Is everything all right? What do we do?
– The Boy
Well, considering that we have lost communication with the engineer, and are standing totally exposed on the front of the locomotive, and the train seems to be accelerating, uncontrollably, not to mention that we are headed to Glacier Gulch, which just happens to be the steepest downhill grade in the world, I suggest we all hold on… TIGHTLY!
– The Conductor
What in the name of Mike?
– The Conductor
…It’s five minutes to midnight.
– The Conductor
Hey, what gives? It was five minutes to midnight four minutes ago!
– Know-It-All
Exactly!
– The Conductor
That’s more like it.
