THE POLAR EXPRESS (...not)

2004, Castle Rock Entertainment

Animation

Rating: PG

Approx. 100 mins.

THE STORY:

I don't know. The reason for this is that I have been unsuccessful not once, not twice but three times in convincing the 5 year-old in the room to watch even a millisecond of The Polar Express. Maybe it's the dark, muted colours on the case? Maybe it's the unfamiliar style of animation? The 5 year-old in the room cannot or will not explain why.

QUESTIONABLE LANGUAGE:

VIOLENCE:

TEACHING POINTS:

THE UPSHOT:

The upshot is that I cannot say a single word about the movie and probably never will be able to. Oh well.
