- O.o Holy smokes, over a thousand likes! Thanks, guys n' girls! :3
Well, it's been way over 7 years since The Polar Express hit the theaters and over 16 years since the book the movie's based upon was released, so I felt I should better make it a tribute, just because it's in my opinion the best Christmas movie ever made and one of the most awesome-styled movies. (I seriously LOVE this film, it totally blew me away on the big screen. Cheers, Chris A, Robert Z and Alan S, you're all genius!)
If you don't know the lyrics:
All aboard! All aboard!
Tickets, please, tickets!
Well? you coming?
It's a magic carpet on a rail,
never takes a rest,
flying through the mountains and the snow,
Ride for free and join the fun,
(You can ride for free!)
if you just say yes!
'cause that's the way things happen
on the Polar Express
You bet!
"Wooo! Wooo!" the whistle blows,
that's the sound of her singing,
"Ding! Ding!" the bell will ring,
Golly look at her go!
You wonder if you'll get there soon,
any body's guess,
'cause that's the way things happen
on the Polar Express
When we get there we'll scream "Yes!" ("Yeah!")
We'll arrive with a "bang bang bang",
"boom boom boom",
laughing all the way!
It's a choo-choo with a stunning view
That rivals all the best!
But you won't see it advertised.
It's a simple fact we stay on track,
though sometimes we digress,
but that can only happen on the Polar Express!
"Hiss", "hiss" the steam hisses,
that's the sound of her breathing.
"Clang! Clang!" the boiler bangs,
what a wonderful show!
With a comfy seat and lots to eat,
boy is this the best!
Wish it wouldn't ever have to end.
With a little luck we'll be on time,
there's no need to stress,
'cause that's the way things happen
on the Polar Express
Lights are gleaming far across the snow.
You're not dreaming!
May I present: the North Pole!
If it's penguins you expect to view,
you surely haven't guessed
they all live down at the other end.
With a little luck we'll be on time,
there's no need to stress,
'cause that's the way things happen
on the Polar Express!
"Boom! Boom!" the whistle blows,
that's the sound of her singing.
"Ding! Ding!" the bell will ring,
Golly, look at her go!
If you want to join us come along,
I'll check my manifest.
'cause that's the way things happen
on the Polar Express
When we get there we'll scream "Yes!" ("Yeah!")
We'll arrive with a "bang bang bang",
"boom boom boom",
laughing all the way!
If you want to join us come along,
you can be our guest,
'cause that's the way things happen
on the roller coaster, the Polar Express!

Happy Holidays!
When I was in elementary school, every year on the last day before Christmas Break, the entire school would gather in the cafeteria and watch this movie on the big projector. And when this song came on, everyone in the room would sing it, as the subtitles were always on. It was almost a rite of passage to know the entire song's lyrics. Good times, and my god this movie is the greatest Christmas movie EVER.
Lol I wish my school did this
That’s some nostalgia right there man, I wish my old school did that 😔
Wow.. that would have been a great experience and could cherish and savour forever
I'm from Russia and I love this movie. Greatest movie about Christmas and New year.
You really have great school memories in my case i was only punishments in my school days.😅
But I really like that concept of gathering around and watch movie with friends. 👍
This movie still blows me away every time I watch it. I don't understand how critics find this movie "creepy and demented". Loved this movie for years and its a holiday tradition to watch it a few times before the holidays at my house.
Critics are cruel.
@@bendythegamingdevildarlin4572 yes they are
What I love most about this movie is not only a beautiful CGI representation of one of my favorite real-life steam locomotives, but they set up the whole thing like an actual American passenger train (loosely, the closest thing to that hill is a wooden rollercoaster, and the only steam engines that skid over ice are Lombard log haulers), and really creates it's own environment, as well as the story's added depth that the book simply didn't have room for.
...And then there's the foamer kid. We all love the foamer kid.

3:25 This soundtrack... It's so beautiful that it even makes me cry :,)
You can thank composer Alan Silvestri for that
Ye you got a point
What ever will happen... This movie stands in my memory and will never leave!
Like a train off the rails and is on the ice now slipping through ice and going back on rails
Imagine A 800,000 Pound Magic Train Can't Break Ice But A Little Needle Like Thing Can.
Weight distribution brotha!
Well it is a magic train
That's the magik sir
it’s a magic train
The keyword "Magic"
Who still watches this movie every Christmas without fail
Me This movie is a masterpiece
Me, even I’m 27 yo rn 😊
Me ☝️
Right here loud and proud
Why am I tearing up?! Love this movie
So many memories, man, I was 10 years old when I watched this movie when it first came out. It seems so long ago but it wasn't. Time flies :(
the fact that it came out almost 20 years ago is crazy.
i am gonna get too old for the train but the bell still will ring in my heart...
This is the BEST Christmas movie ever to grow up with through elementary and in personal life! Just watched it in period 1 today in class! This came out the year I was born, the month after I was born. This will always be the most memorable, nostalgic Christmas movie ever with the best realistic animation! This should’ve been a Disney movie😌
This movie, and the music, it will remain with me forever. I have watched the movie at Christmas for at least 6 years now, and I still love it. The music, it makes me feel so amazing inside. Its beautiful
I agree!!
Forever (I'm from Russia) Forever
this has been my favourite christmas film for over 8 years
we played this song in band and almost everyone that was a senior cried because it brought back memories from fourth grade.
@@notablezeke1071wot
@@notablezeke1071 brother! Do some math. Most people graduate when they're 18. Minus 10 that gives us 8. Most people are 7 and 8 in 3rd grade. So yes it is very possible.
soo many memories playing this in band as well
This movie is still and always will be a masterpiece!
I remember, at my old school, on our last day of school until Christmas/winter break we would have pajama day, AND we watched The Polar Express, we would eat snacks like cookies,popcorn and we would have hot chocolate. We also could bring Stuffed Animals! Good memories..
in my school before i went to highschool, we had like 3 christmas movie`s we watch and we ethier pick grinch stole christmas,this and charlie brown and i didn`t bother to be there so i was just listen to my songs.
me to
Please,please......tel me all about it,i love the atmosphere,night and nobody around......and the white snow
Me too.
When I was in p2 I watched the polar express we had pyjamas on and we had hot choclate with marshmallows and one more thing I was going to tell you ALL ABOARD THIS IS THE POLAR EXPRESS! Because thats the way things happen on the polar express that’s my favourite song please give me a like if the polar express is one of your favourite movies it is my first favourite movie I have not watched the polar express in a long time does anyone else like it like if you do
Crazy to think this is most young adults childhood Christmas film. Absolutely mental I was 12 😳
Is it just me or is this song extreme catchy. Like the train chugging in the background is so awesome
i love this movie i cant stand a christmas without watching it at least 10 times, legit, read it every year to my rat once i get all cuddled with him, and i can never stop listening to the songs
W
Who can stand Christmas anymore with all it's commercialized bullshit? I mean only thing that makes it bearable is some of the classic movies and the ability as an adult to legally stay mildly inebriated until the new year..
@@Elfnetdesigns Christmas is when jesus was born so your going to hell
That's cool you have. Pet rat!
@@SasukeUchiha-pj1pl Like anyone actually knows what happens when you pass on... give me a break.. You do know religion is a control device created to keep the sheeple in check right?
I love this movie growing up. I used to watch this movie every day on christmas when I was younger back in the 2000s
Love this movie, and that train!
I'd agreed with you
@Donnie Gonzalez Me Three.
I could listen to this over and over again.
I am proud to admit that even though I'm 29 my high school buddies and I just screamed this until our throats blead and driving to pick up our kids from school yesterday
favorite movie of all time brings back great memories
This movie NEVER gets old.
Hell yeah
You got that right!! 😊
2:32
*Happy instrumental plays
The engineer shouts "Stop the train!"
Adds a new sense of dread during that happy moment doesn't it?
That ain’t the conductor that’s steamer the person who drives the train
What did the main characters do now
A Christmas Classic.
This movie brings back great movie of when I was a kid back in 2004-2008 (Im in my mid-teens now) and I just love watching this every Christmas eve on T.V!
Best Christmas film ever.

Hello!

This song, as well as the movie, brings out the little 8 year old within me that used to get so excited over Christmas that he couldn't sleep till 10:30.
That was very late for an 8 year old okay?? Well it was for me anyway.

I don't care what anybody says here,
There is no way there ever ever ever going to top This, The polar Express. This is way too epic and outstanding amazing and a wonderful Christmas movie. Also the other thing is I do not want them to reboot this 10 or 15 years down the road. This movie is fine just the way it is.
They need to include this on holiday song lists. You bet!
i love this song!
i love this movie
2 best ways to see this movie. 1. IMAX
2. on Christmas eve with you family, while the fire place is going, and then pausing it when the hot chocalate song comes on then going into the kitchen and making hot chocolate.Then drinking it during tht scene.
This is the best Christmas Movie ever.
my family = Mom, me , my 2 dogs and a cat.

I grew up with it, i had it since i was a small kid
Be4 when i was in my room, i had a cooler thing, and then watched Polar Express, and bc the cooler was on, i really felt like i was in the film, because, my room is cold, and the scenario of the polar express was cold, and i REALLY missed that feeling ;(

I do too but i do when its my bedtime!😁😁😁😁
Well that’s a beautiful edit!! Seeing polar express every Christmas is a bliss 😊😍🥰
Everytime I watch this I’m still amazed at how well this video was made. Still a great job
This movie is my childhood,
This film is one of the reason why my passion is trains
The Polar Express was what got me back into trains. You see, when I was a kid, I had a TON of Thomas VHS tapes & DVDs, including the 2000 Magic Railroad movie. I think when my elementary school 1st did Polar Express Pajama Day was when I 1st saw the movie & I was hooked ever since.
still my favorite christmas film even nine years on
I love this movie! :)
this was my first ever movie to see in theatres and it made me sick, but i dont think i'll ever forget it. oh and by the way EPIC BAND PIECE! :)
It is never too early for the polar express. Never.

How about in July? Is they too early when it's hot AF? Who wants hot beverage on an un-air conditioned train in 105 degrees?
@@Elfnetdesigns there are air conditioners in the train, remember how the boy found the girls ticket after the conductor tells the girl he forgot to punch the ticket? The girls ticket was getting sucked in by the air conditioner
@@coloradongguy No that's a low voltage DC powered exhaust fan in there. Back in the days of steam there was no way to power air conditioning in the coaches. Lights and fans were all DC powered by batteries on attached dynamos, heat was supplied by the locomotive as steam. cooking was done by non electric fuels and steam as well, while keeping foods cool was done by ice that was restocked at stations. Locomotive lighting was also powered by it's own dynamo and battery system as well. Later after the diesel came into mainline use with it's 600 volt and 3K amp generators was air conditioning and refrigeration added along with electric heat and cooking. Some even had steam generators to accommodate the older coaches steam heating needs This is also why many cross country trains had multiple units like ABA sets where the last A unit was more for 3 phase AC HEP and the two leading were for tractive effort (motive power). The last unit could also help with tractive power if necessary. Amtrak today on longer run trains use dual locomotives, one for main tractive power and the other for main HEP to power the coaches.
@@Elfnetdesigns yes there were steam generators in the era of steam, the movie takes place in 1948, many passenger trains in the 1930s and 40s had air conditioning in their cars
this came out when my son was a baby and now older we watch it every Christmas one of our favorites :)
Thank you for your support and love. Tell me how long you have been my fan ❤
I love how the train shoots out of the water at 3:02
Thanks for posting this!! I love this movie!!
the best and greatest part is at 3:30 when the second part starts!!!
I couldn't agree more. That part brings back memories deeply, and just makes me feel so happy :)
SonicXextrem I know right! Sonic thats just how it is for me

Thats rhigt but i hate it
God this song was a fan favorite for our band and choir classes loved to play for concerts. Also I am kind of surprised no one has ever considered making a live action version of this movie.
Very nicely done! Well done timing the music with the video.
Thanks, man. :3 Thankies very much.

マジで名作映画。
My all time favorite christmas movie.
This is the song we are singing in Christmas at school it's a very hard song and people how are saying that it is terrible it is actually really fun
I remember when i visited the Tower of Americas in Texas, it have a 4D cinema and in that days projected a resumed version of this movie.
trains are cool
I got two
I like trains.
Thats why thomas the tank engine is gud.because their steam engines.this is also why chuggington is awful.because their diesels.
Yeah which is one of the reasons I work for a railroad now, the main reason is the money and benefits though
@@shrekzebee4435 Thomas is cringe AF though, faces on trains that look as if they were suffering from chronic perpetual constipation......
The very Best of Tom Hanks!!!!! OH YEAH!!!!! 😃😊😊😊😊🥰💘😉👍👍👍👍
