A decade after the enormous success of Forrest Gump (1994), Robert Zemeckis directed The Polar Express, a Christmas movie that became an instant favourite with audiences around the world. The critics predicted that it would become one of the classics people return to every holiday season, and they were absolutely right. A young boy who doesn’t believe in Santa Claus boards a mysterious train to the North Pole and Santa’s workshop. Over the course of the journey, which is full of exciting encounters with other children, various adventures and unexpected twists, the boy comes to believe in the power of miracles and the beauty of faith. His adventures aboard the Polar Express are accompanied by stunning music by Alan Silvestri, which earned the composer a Grammy. This Christmas, let us revisit this beloved film, but with the added power and immediacy of live music!
