The Polar Express

This is a beta version of NNDB

The Polar Express (21-Oct-2004)

Writers: Robert Zemeckis (screenplay); William Broyles, Jr. (screenplay)

Based on a book by: Chris Van Allsburg

"Tots surely won't recognize that Santa's big entrance in front of the throngs of frenzied elves and awe-struck children directly evokes, however unconsciously, one of Hitler's Nuremberg rally entrances in Leni Riefenstahl's Triumph of the Will. But their parents may marvel that when Santa's big red sack of toys is hoisted from factory floor to sleigh it resembles nothing so much as an airborne scrotum." The New York Times
