Lyrics:
Both: Put it all together!
Put it all together!
Two heads are always better than one!
Together, yes, together makes it run!
Steamer: It takes a handful of finest coal
Smokey: A blast or two of air
Steamer: A tiny spark to light her up
Smokey: Tender loving care
Add a little water!!
Steamer: A pinch or two of time,
Smokey: And not long before ya know it
Steamer: Dreams a-coming through the line
Both: Put it all together! Put it all together!
Two heads are always better than one!
Together, yes, together makes it fun!
Together! Put it all together!
Two heads are always better than...one!!
The Night Before Christmas Poem:
'Twas the night before Christmas in the year 33,
When this hobo named King decided he wanted to ride for free.
He was riding on the roof as king of the pole
When it started to fall that white stuff called snow.
The engine started down the steep; icicles dropped;
Headed toward the tunnel, a tunnel called Flat Top.
The train made its way toward the tunnel moved faster
And the king got nervous 'cause up ahead was disaster.
He didn't have time to holler, he didn't have time to cry.
He got slipped off this train like that stubborn Georgia Swamp in July.

That backstory to the hobo is by far the most interesting part of this to me. I had no idea that existed. Pretty cool.
yeah thought the same
.. man I really love this movie
Your welcome! 😉
The hobos backstory in this would explain his familiarity with flattop top in the ski scene as that tunnel looked like a face with icicles for teeth
Already saw this scene, didn’t know there was a scene explaining the hobo 😂
And the fact that these two said they’re fucking TWINS. All the hair and skinny, no hair and shaped like a bloated pear.
Anyone going to talk about how terrifying the thumbnail is
I am the yeast of thoughts and mind
Yeah it looks like he's choking me at the train 😫
🚎🚎🚎
It’s a unfinished animation that’s why it’s scary
Nah I'm fine with it
Omg it is terrifying
their blank, lifeless stare was my exact reaction to them singing
chicken eyes lol
I loved it, heck I wish they’d left it in the soundtrack, just with a little thing by it saying (deleted scene) or sumn
I did the song in ROBLOX
👁👄👁
"4:11" same
To be honest, as unrealistic as it is, I would love to see the scene completely animated and placed on the 20th Anniversary DVD or something. I will say though: The choice to cut the song was, in my opinion, the right choice. Not only does the story flow better, but makes the Hobo a far more mysterious character. I think keeping his origins vague makes him a far more interesting character.
Now I want this scene rendered and put on an actual DVD and play it to someone who watched the original and see if they spot the new scene.
Makes the scene of the girl saying she was sure and the boy saying together when stopping the train more impactful. Plus, makes the conflict of believing more concrete and gives steamer and Smokey a reason to exist and transitions into the next scene with them at the light better. But I didn’t think the song fit.
not sure they have all the assets and textures regularly available, especially after this long.
i'm very sad this scene didn't make it in, despite the story flowing better without it. as everyone says the hobo would make more sense.
Although it would have been nice if it was included
I know right
I didn't know that Smokey and Steamer were meant to be brothers let alone twins
I didnt even know that was their names
Wow
I knew their names but I also didn't think that they were related
It's just that they grew very differently
They look more like friends then they do brothers
(3:31) The moment that we nearly got a fart joke in The Polar Express.
Still, I find it hard to believe that Smokey and Steamer are the last characters Michael Jeter played before his death.
R.I.P Michael Jeter
That is probably the reason why this scene was not added in…
:/ I am feeling big sad right now.
Don’t forget, Andre Soligiuzzo voiced them.
☹️
Michael Jackson played Sussy Baka in Smash Bros?
5:24 im so happy we got a backstory on the Hobo. He was driving me insane every Christmas trying to figure out WHAT he was, or what he represented.
Agreed
He represents the holy spirit. The conductor, santa, and the hobo represent the holy trinity. It was my 5th rewatch that I realized it was a christain movie about faith in god
@@quinncanepa5461I'm a Christian and even I say that's far fetched
@@riveranimates Ask yourself river, what was the theme/message of the movie? A kid who is questioning his faith in santa clause (the father) and takes a journey guided by the conductor (the son). Once the boy believes he is able to see santa and experience the spirit of christmas. Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see. The hobo being the holy spirit is somewhat of a stretch, but the holy spirit is a loosely defined thing that shares some qualities with the hobo like fear of god, guidiance, and hes literaly a ghost. Tom Hanks is literally the holy trinity.
@@quinncanepa5461 It's very easy to make art about whatever you want if you try hard enough. You're clearly trying to make it about god, but I definitely don't view this movie that way. That said, I certainly don't think the theme/message was "faith in god"
This actually revealed that the driver’s name was Steamer and the fireman’s name was Smokey
I didn't know they were supposed to be twins either since they look nothing alike but I guess they were trying to make them non-identical twins to make them more distinct
@William Pulfer-melville Yeah. Non Identical twins are cool. I hope Pokemon Gen 9 does that
actually the engineers name was steamer, and the fireman's name was smokey
I just said that
I'm glad they decided to put this scene aside for extras because if I had known as a child that someone died on the train, I wouldn't have seen the movie in the same way. Even the fact that the literal king of the north pole is a spirit that lives on the train, I was a child who did not know the concept of the afterlife. Now years later, this scene does not take away the magic of the movie for me, I love this movie even if this scene was not finished I loved the concept of it.
That song was cute but it definitely didn’t fit with the rest of the movie. I also really like they way they only talk in unison, that’s really cool. I do wish they could have figured out some way to keep in that little backstory part for the ghost hobo guy, it would’ve made 5 year old me wayyy less confused about him. The movie is incredible nonetheless
exactly! agreed.
I have to admit, I like the backstory of the hobo. It adds a bit more lore to the Polar Ex. Like these guys see the hobo as a ghost, yet the Polar Express is not entirely of this world. These two aren't technically human, but get freaked out by what they see as a ghost. Like something can be mysterious to them. I find that really interesting.
Interesting aspect about this.
While it didn't make it into the movie, the train starting to overheat and potentially blow up, actually made it into the video game of all things.
You have to help fix the engine, and get it back up to speed again.
Theres a game??
Theres a game?
@@mariodelrio2387 yes for ps2, gcn, pc and gba, so damn good
@@Moiisty What the fuck I'm gonna dig that cunt up now.
@@Moiisty it would be better if the ACTUAL train models were in it like that one teaser before release
Holy frick this gave me nightmares
What did you spected it’s an unfinished animation
@@PanchitoReyElMejorxDxD yeah true
Yeah i wasn't them to have no eyes or look like dolls
At least it’s not as creepy looking as the finished animation.
But its not bad if we take as example the gloglogagalab
I like that lore and a proper name were given to the hobo in these scenes. It does explain a few things that I always wondered during my previous viewings of this movie. As cool as this is to see and as fun of a song as that was, though, I agree that the film makes more sense overall without them.
Thank you for uploading this to share with us.
No problem, Ascertivus, no problem at all.
Good job!💕💕❤️💝🎉💖🐅🎂🎂🎂

I didn’t know Wario and Waluigi were train drivers
Smokey and Steamer do kind of resemble Wario and Waluigi now that I think about it.
I kinda saw them as like Mario and Luigi, but I guess them being Wario and Waluigi makes sense too.
5:27 you wouldn’t believe it, but this part actually solves quite a bit of lore on the ghost in the movie. I have heard a fair share of ghost stories from real engines, one example is when I went to visit the Reading 2100. They had a coach that was in an accident and all the windows were open, the passengers didnt survive, and every time a window would be open on the coach it would slam shut a few minoutes later. All the windows were serviced amd in really good condition too, and they slid down to open. Now you may be asking, “what does this half to do with the ghost in the movie?” Keep in mind, when he died on flat top tunnel he slipped and fell on the coach. And the conductor mentions that on his first day he slipped and didn’t fall off, perhaps that ghost pulled him up just like he does later when the main character about falls off 1225 aka the polar express. The reason I bring this up is because if you believe in stories of ghosts on trains then the reason they shut the windows on the coach is to protect the people inside the coach, so the ghost in the movie pulls people who almost fall off back up. This would also explain why he tales the main character to the engine, because if he doesn’t the main character would have also suffered the same fate on flat top tunnel.
Think about that…
"Now I recall the story of the train that went to glory
Over fifty years ago on this same night
She was stealing for the cave-in; there were men that needed saving
But she missed the curve and trestle near the mine.
Now every now and then you’ll hear her whistle on the wind
If the mountain slides and many men are lost
It’s the high and lonely wailing searching up and down the mountain
The train they call the call the Miner’s Silver Ghost"
Lost songs are always so sad, because they always carry this image of a lost vision. Jeter was great, I never even knew he played these two, but I do wish they got more screen-time because they had so much character
I can not believe it was a month ago when it was posted
"Twas the night before Christmas in the year 33,
When this hobo named King decided he wanted to ride for free.
He was riding on the roof as king of the pole
When it started to fall that white stuff called snow.
The engine started down the steep; icicles dropped;
Headed toward the tunnel, a tunnel called Flat Top.
The train made its way toward the tunnel moved faster
And the king got nervous 'cause up ahead was disaster.
He didn't have time to holler, he didn't have time to cry.
He got slipped off this train like that stubborn Georgia Swamp in July"
That Gives Me Chills...
Steamer: His Ghost Still Rides This Train!
Thanks for the lyrics. The last part (between "he didn't have time" and "July") was too hard to understand.
It sounds like:
He didn't have time to howler
Himpfmempfmopfo cry
Himfpimfpfa train
Hackashackashakashacka july
thank you for writing this! i didn’t understand what they were saying
Foi ótima decisão ter tirado isso do filme, seria muito pesado pra uma criança.
Oh?
They should have kept this in in some form...a goofy song, and it explained a bit of the Hobo
I Think They Cut The Song Out Because It Was 2 Cheesy 4 The Film. But I Wish They Would Keep The Hobo Story.
@@MrTimshellscherber they at least should’ve kept the hobo part
@@hasbrohater3667 Yeah
I disagree, not knowing his backstory or anything about him gives more mystery. This scene explaining is just disappointing.
@@stanmarsh4566 What?
I think the underlying message of "The Polar Express" is that it's the journey and not necessarily the destination that's the most interesting part of life. The people you meet, the things you see, the problems one encounters, experiencing things others don't and the memories one takes with you on the adventure of being alive glorious ....
"the animation was never fully completed"
you could've fooled me because this nightmare fuel is how i remember the finished movie
If someone made a “The Polar Express” iceberg, this would be an amazing entry.
For sure
I wish they kept the ghost story I always wondered why he was up there on the roof
Me 2
It makes a lot of sense why they cut this, not only does it interfere with the flow of the story the tone of the song is completely different to the rest, and while they sing the train is just moving along?
Wow the backstory that I came up with about the hobo actually turned out to be his real backstory
Really?
How did you…
@@kastyn1318 1, the fact that he's obviously a ghost
2, there's a scene where he gets hit by a tunnel in elf town.
3, he knew exactly how much space there was between the roof of the train and that of flat top tunnel.
@@ConeBones1532 Same here! i also came to that conclusion.
@@ConeBones1532 you know when the conductor was telling the story about how he slipped on the icy roof, I bet you the hobo was the one who saved him
Now I'm happy that they cut it
But why?
its disturbing
ya
It’s unfinished animation, what do you think?
If you were an animator you’d see this all the time
3:30 If they had put that scene in the movie it would have been my favorite part.
Mine 2
Would have been my least favorite
RIP Michael Jeter. We will all miss you.

Nice backstory for the ghost, I always wondered what he was
It’s the hobo. He’s been scene in the movie. He’s that guy on top of the train. You never seen him in the movie?

Lyrics
Put it all together!
Put it all together!
Two heads are always better than one!
Together, yes, together makes it run!
It takes a handful of finest coal
A blast or two of air
A tiny spark to light her up
Tender loving care
Add a little water!!
A pinch or two of time,
And not long before ya know it
Steams a-coming through the line
Put it all together!
Put it all together!
Two heads are always better than one!
Together, yes, together makes it fun!
Together!
Put it all together!
Two heads are always better than...one!!
This definitely deserves to be cleaned up and used as a bonus music video for the movie, even though it never made it into the final film.
Theres a lot of hidden lore about the movie in this one deleted scene
Rest in Peace, Jeter.

That's sad

@@drabberfrog cool
That rhymed story with the hobo was genuinely creepy.
This should've been finished as a DVD feature, maybe with a different beginning sequence as a tribute to Michael Jeter.
Omg this animation is the creepiest thing I’ve seen. I feel like I seen the fully animated scene of the on the entire Polar Express movie.
Rest in Peace Michael Jeter
1952-2003.

U trying to get likes u dont even know who he was
@@zx0_0xz60 I wasn't expecting anyone. I was only doing it since Michael Jeter didn't get to see the results of the film since he voiced the driver & fireman and he sadly passed during the making of it
@@evanf1293 well no shit i saw the vid
@@zx0_0xz60 Just trying to respect him since he isn't alive anymore and many people do that alot you know respect people who aren't with us anymore
The movements, the lifeless faces.... It's truly something else...
A few day before Christmas and I get to hear about the hobo backstory now I know how he turn to a ghost. Now that's the best thing ever
It’s funny to see how most characters had to be slightly dehanksified before the final render
I think it would've been cool, if this scene was fully finished. I bet it would've looked pretty neat, as well as for when Smokey & Steamer tell the story of the Hobo.
Well...except for this: 3:30
My Thoughts Exactly.
This movie is a lot more terrifying when it’s not finished
Okay, I’ve got a serious question if this is still on a computer somewhere, could it still be finished?
I Hope So
If the Mocap files still exist the 3D model of the train and people could be recreated.
@@drabberfrog U Could B Right
Well, it was 2009 so the way they make 3D animation on a base level is way different today than it was then. It would probably be easier to start from scratch than try to use this base animation to make anything, unfortunately. It’s still cool to think about would it would look like as a finished animation tho🤔☺️
@@nola- Yeah
Glad they kept this out. I love how mysterious the hobo is
The guy who played Smokey & Steamer (Michael Jeter, who passed away in Mar 2003 during the making of the film) is the actor who played "Mr. Noodle's brother, Mr. Noodle" on "Elmo's World". He is also the bad guy in "Air Bud", and got eaten by a velociraptor in "Jurassic Park III".
Very talented man that we lost way too soon (he was only 50). A lot of kids who watched him as Mr Noodle would not be born for years after he passed, due to them rerunning all his segments for years afterwards. (the original Mr Noodle is still alive; Jeter was "Mr Noodle's brother, Mr Noodle")
Over the years the Hobo (or King, rather) has become the embodiment of the eerie vibe of the Polar Express to me, what holds all of that "off" feeling together, and the fact that they added a paranormal aspect to the movie in the first place - something that wasn't a part of the original story at all - makes me way more endeared to the movie and captivated by the (literal) haunting atmosphere of The Polar Express; the Hobo feels both like an integral part of the Polar Express story (in being a metaphor for not believing - which is kind of fucked up, or being a metaphor for the Holy Spirit/Guardian Angels, and for adding the mysticism of Christmas by being a ghost in general), but he also feels separate from it all (as in, he was a severely poor man who jumped onto a train, because that's what he needed to do to get around, but then he got killed by an oncoming tunnel and now literally haunts the train, helping kids not suffer from the same fate when they somehow get on top of the roof). Also the animation of his death was really cool.
It's just, when you watch the movie, there's something dark there - something that you can barely scratch the surface of, especially if you have no deleted scenes context or knowledge, and it itches at you in a wrong way in the most positive way possible, because somehow you also relate to it. It adds that dark part, a "reality" of sorts, that some other Christmas stories don't have, but quite a few that do which snags my attention more than other standard holiday stories (well, Christmas stories have always been kind of dark, but there's a quite a few without the existential realities of life (like the greed of man, the severities of being poor, or the concept of death) thrown in).
Press F to payt Respect To Michael Jeter. He also Played Mr. noodles brother Mr. noodle in Elmo's world.

@@camillasantaana9694 that was one of the few times I cried. I grew up watching that movie

i hope they properly animate this as a DVD bonus or something for a remaster anniversary
Me 2.
I love how at 4:03, Smokey's head just clips through the cab roof while he's jumping in the air lol
Truly miss you Michael Jeter one of my favorite actors
Producer: "thank god that was deleted forever."
The Internet: "hahahahaha... YOU FOOL!"
Man we really need someone to animate this scene. I understand why it wasn't in the film but man it explains so much
Its a shame none of this appeared in the film, it would fill in so many gaps in the film!
His beard is just flying EVERYWHERE. 🤣
im so glad this was cut
I am puzzled as to why they would remove this scene, it explains so much about the movie.
Yeah I’m asking the same question
For pacing apparently.
It sort of adds to the mystery
I can't think of a worst way to be remembered. I love this.
What
While I get why it was cut, it would have been nice to have an explanation for the hobo on the train since he isn't explained
This was disturbing-ly funny, but I'm kinda glad this was taken out.😅😬
I really would like it if this had been fully animated, Steamer was always my favorite character in the movie, but I'd never known his name until now.
An awesome detail about this scene is that at 3:19, 3:24, and 4:09, you can see an, albeit unfinished, rendering of the flux capacitor from Back to the Future above the three dials in the upper left corner of the control hub!!!
4:07 4:08 I think
This movie is so good it makes me want to cry this movie is good 100% best Christmas movie yet I like that since I was three years old
This is what my sleep paralysis demons look like
Bless their hearts for doing this, but I'm glad this wasn't in the film...
4:07 two heads are better than one
this is beautiful and cursed at the same time
I’m really glad they cut this from the movie.
Train: suffering a meltdowm
Those characters: ok is dance time.
If this ended up in the final cut, the hobo would be revealed to be dead.
But it is hinted that he’s a ghost in the movie, as he disappears.
@@darkyboode3239 Yeah.
Not to mention that the hobo's name, King, would also be revealed.
@@joshmontemayor1212 Yeah.
I thought it was pretty obvious that he was taken out by the tunnel that he’s so vigilant on avoiding with Hero boy.
Are we not going to talk about how terrifying this is.
It's unfinished animation. What do you think it's gonna look like?
Those unfinished models are nightmare fuel tho
i want to fucking cry. the guy with the long beard’s model is constantly breaking and noclipping through his face 💀
My theory before I saw this was that the hobo was the spirit of a man that never gave up on his belief of Santa and when he passed on his spirit took his permanent residence on the polar express
4:08. I love the locomotive chugging sound
This is incredible, thank you so much for showing us this! This clears up so much of the ambiguity in the film over who the homeless fella was and why he was there. The movie probably did flow better without this scene but my god does it lend some heart and context. I loved this.
It’s interesting to see but I think they made the right decision, the releases version is just perfect
Such a shame this scene was never completed... 😕
The Colorado Railroad Museum includes the "Together" song each year as part of THE POLAR EXPRESS™ Train Ride experience!
still one of the coolest scenes at our event!
THIS EXPLAINS SO MUCH MORE ABOUT THE KING OF THE NORTH POLE WHAT!!!!
The song is so great! I wish they kept it in the final cut
Pathetic comment, please delete it
It’s cute but I’m glad they cut it...
But why?
@@CelestinaakaClonaClox9999 it doesn’t fit with the rest of the soundtrack. The majority of the soundtrack is orchestral, big band, or the Steven Tyler song “rockin on top of the world”
This sounds like a country, twangy, comedic relief song. Kinda like a song that would’ve been skipped each time when listening to the soundtrack. Every movie/musical has that one song that gets skipped.
Eh, good point
Same
@@CelestinaakaClonaClox9999 Also, speaking as a writer, it disorients the flow of the story.
Imagine if this scene was actually finished, that would be good.
I like this deleted scene is Train cabin story of hobo from The Polar Express.
Me 2.
That unfinished animation is terrifying 😳
I spotted a mistake. Smokey and Steamer said that the hobo rode the train since 1933. However, the Polar Express (Pere Marquette) was built in 1941. Either the train was before the Pere Marquette or the train was built 1931 as mentioned by the Know It All.
I hope he rests in a good place
Holy crap! Polar Express has been one of my favorite Christmas movies and, just NOW i'm finding out about this scene
We need a Polar Express 2 to explore some more lore that the first film didn't touch on. The Polar Express is a masterpierce already, but I wish we got to see a bit more in terms of the elves' town, or more wagons of the train itself.
EXACTLY!
I sure as heck would love to see it.
It'd be lovely also to see if "Hero Boy" actually would meet and reconnect to "Holy"/"Hero Girl", Billy and the others from the journey, possibly discuss about "The legend of The Polar Express", try to find a way to board it again and hijinks ensue with the lore around the train itself, etc. 🤔
Had no idea he had a backstory, that's so cool
I saw this a few years ago and have been looking for it… too bad this scene wasn’t in the Final Cut of the movie! The hobo’s backstory was interesting!
3:25 AYO what he doing down there 😭
4:14 Tyat is also my face after that along with some laughter
I have heard this song in polar expreses second dvd
I used to watch this all the time as a young kid I watched it every day
This is scary and funny at the same time
I will love a part 2 of the movie to understand more about all the polar express crew , hobo and the engine/train history.
