Despite an animated Tom Hanks veering close to the uncanny valley, The Polar Express has become a modern holiday classic. The movie centers on a doubting young boy taking an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole. The ride is a journey of self-discovery that shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe. If you want to watch The Polar Express this holiday season you can watch it on Max.
