Description

Journey Beyond Your Imagination.

When a doubting young boy takes an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery that shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe.

Director Robert Zemeckis makes the best of both worlds in this big-screen adaptation of Chris Van Allsburg's books, as although the film is computer generated, the characters are all modelled on real human performances. A boy who doubts the magic of Christmas is taken on a train ride to the North Pole to meet Santa Claus (Tom Hanks).

Special Features:
  • Smokey and Steamer Song
  • You Look Familiar: The Many Polar Faces of Tom Hanks
  • A Genuine Ticket to Ride Documentary Gallery: 5 Featurettes
  • True Inspirations: An Author's Adventure - Profiling Chris Van Allsburg
  • Believe: Josh Groban Performs at the Greek Theatre
  • Behind the Scenes of Believe: Bringing a Hit Song to Magical Life in the Recording Studio
  • Flurry of Effects Gallery: 5 Motion-Capture Sessions
  • Meet the Snow Angels: The Moviemakers' Christmas Memories
  • THQ PC Game Demo with 2 Playable Levels
  • Theatrical Trailer

Review by Peter on 11th February, 2009
4 stars "Christmas CGI wonderment!"

This Blu-ray release not only looks and sounds great, it is a lovely heartfelt story of a boy who is growing up and beginning to lose the childhood magic of Christmas.

A mysterious train wakes him in the night and after he climbs hesitantly aboard, a voyage of discovery and sheer magic begins.

Picture quality is superb, although not as pin sharp as some other animated Blu-ray releases and the surround effects are very convincing.

All in all, an excellent family film that is destined to become a seasonal favourite in our house and in yours too.

4 stars "Great Christmas Movie"

Great movie to watch with the family at Christmas (especially on Blu-ray) – great animation and good story line. Much better than watching Home Alone reruns…

5 stars "Heart-warming family movie."

Visionally stunning with a story to match.
Throw in Tom Hanks contribution and a Christmas theme, and you've got a keeper, one that our does like to watch every year!
