k4tno3lle 's review for:

The Polar Express by Chris Van Allsburg
5.0

beautiful beautiful beautiful
the illustrations are stunning and the fact that the movie captures them so perfectly

it’s kinda funny how the movie has all these side quests (the homeless man, the girl driving the train, the three kids sneaking into santa’s factory etc) meanwhile the book gets straight to the point

regardless it’s such a beautiful book and it’s something i’d wanna read to my kids if i have kids

“though i’ve grown old, the bell still rings for me as it does for all who truly believe” <3

read this in front of a (slightly underwhelming) fire in the fireplace :)
