May I just say, that is not professional, it’s stereotypical. Christmas is so much more than that and it isn’t just for kids, I would rewrite this in some way.
christmas is also for parents,do not be that mean,i would please you to rewrite it please,some people can really misunderstand you and think you mean only for kids
@@HappypandaAJ that sounds kind of suspicious if you think about. I mean, inviting kids to your house just to watch a movie is already on the red flag zone, but the fact that he's a teacher makes it more red flagish
@@cumstain8389 I guess the way I explained it does sound kinda sus, but he was actually really nice and it was a Christmas thing; nothing weird happened... to the best of my memory.
@@HappypandaAJ In my elementary school, we just watched the whole movie on the last day of the semester before winter break. We would also have got chocolate while watching the movie. Those were the good days.
"Even Sarah found one Christmas that she could no longer hear its sweet sound. Though I've grown old, the bell still rings for me, as it does for all who truly believe."
Is it me or at 0:50 seconds I really felt a good feeling like a feeling of joy but sadness at the same time reflecting on memories I had as a kid watching this
My late husband and I took our grandson to see this when it came out. He was 7. He is now a Marine with a family of his own. I cry every time I hear this music. All 3 of us were in tears at the end. What a special movie!
Merry Christmas! I try to fight back tears everytime I hear this song thinking of my kids being 5 and 7 when it was so easy to buy gifts and have them believe!! I fail everytime!!! Always in tear listening to this music!!! Now they are 12 and almost 15! Uuugh the teen age years!!
i got chills the first second never knew he conducted this such classical and nostalgic piece, and the music from the portals scene from endgame is also him
I always watch this movie every Christmas Eve as it’s always a Christmas Eve tradition for me I saw this on Boxing Day in 2004 and it’s my favourite holiday movie
We played this suite for my senior year high school holiday concert in 2007 and I've loved it ever since. This track always finds me, I never search for it. I'm 34 now and the memories of playing this are in my top 10 life experiences. I love Christmas.
I'm 14 years old and I've been watching this movie ever since I was like, 2 years old or something. Every time I listen to this sound, this song and especially the loudest part, the part that's at the very beginning of the song, I just can't stop crying. For real, like tears never stop going down my face. The polar express is probably my favorite movie and it brings me so many memories. It's just impossible not to cry. Like, I've never felt such a connection with anything else.... We're talking childhood magic here😭😭😭
I cannot fathom in words how much i ridiculously adore this soundtrack. I will listen to this while relaxing on a sun bed on a tropical beach mid-summer
I remember when I was younger I was hooked to this movie, I used to get on my dads back, then he would say, “hold on tight!” and shake while the part in the movie where the train went Mach 10. I loved it, because it felt like I was actually there. Now I’m older now, I don’t think anything hits harder in nostalgia and happiness than this movie and song.
I don't know why, tears started dropping my eyes the second this masterpiece started So many childhood memories This movie was one of my favourites because i am a huge railfan
as an autistic kid growing up, I was told I would misbehave in movie theaters, thus we'd always have to wait until the DVD of a movie to release. However, my sister and mom would always tell me I was quiet for The Polar Express.
Once upon a Time... When I was a kid, best movie ever! Later on in life... When I was a teenager, best movie ever! More recently in life... When I'm an adult in the present, best movie ever! The End. The moral of the story is, don't hate this movie.
I may only be 13, but when I was a baby in 07 my parents put this movie on on Christmas. It's been a Christmas eve tradition ever since. Love this movie
I know I’m a year late but does anyone love this film they just sit there and watch it during summer ?? I love this IT GIVES ME THE CHILLS I never will forget this film nothing can stop me watching and when the music raises it’s just so magical
I see I wasn’t the only one. I guess when I was 4 I watched this movie all year long even in summer. My family hates this movie now because of how much I’d watch it XD but yet I still watch this at least 2 times during Christmas because no matter what, I will always love this movie lol
That's awesome you still have those memories. A lot of the home alone soundtrack does it for me, as I was born in 81. It thrills me that others were getting that indescribable christmas spirit feeling. I hope you have a Merry Christmas this year and many more.
I remember the year 2013, I was 9, and all I wanted was the bell for Christmas. And what do you know, I go downstairs in the morning, and there's a box with the bell in it. The words "The Polar Express" written across it. And a golden ticket attached to the ribbon. I'm 16 now, and still have the bell in my room. And I plan to share it's magic with my little brother, and future children. Merry Christmas everyone! P. S. I know it's October, idc.
Alan Silvestri is your guy for calm and peaceful family movies. Hans Zimmer is your guy for breathtaking atmosphere. James Horner is your guy for modern horns. Howard Shore is your guy for pure nostalgic feelings you never had. John Williams, well he is your guy for everything.
Makes me ponder upon the golden memories kept at the back of my head. The days when I had no anxiety; when I was carefree, constantly waiting for the joys of Christmas.
I was working as a teacher yesterday and the day before the break began, they decided to present this movie. I haven't thought or seen it in years; and it made me hurt how much I miss being a kid. It's the innocence and magic you can never experience again.
To 2004 kids in there, who still watching this movie every Christmas and even we are old this movie is the best of the west I have cried watching this movie 😭 The Polar Express
I just watched the movie with my family and I cried 7 individual times. It's been years since I've seen the movie and it brought back so many good childhood memories. I've been asking my dad when we can watch it again and I remembered how much I missed it.
This is will always bring me back to watching this before Christmas break in elementary school, wearing PJs, drinking hot chocolate. Singing the suite in HS Choir felt like a rush of nostalgia and as a 21 yr old, I still look forward to watching this movie every holiday and hearing the soundtrack.
Full transparency, I lost connection with my religious upbringing a few years back when I entered the darkest years of my life, but I can't deny that festive pieces of music like these get my non-believing heart to feel there's something watching over us.
i remember watching this with my english class on a cloudy day end of 2014 when I was in year 8. The start of so many things... It felt cozy. So much happened in 10 yrs wow.
I don't think there will ever be a movie quite like The Polar Express ever again. I remember watching it in Elementary school close to Christmas time while in pajamas, and eating popcorn. I still watch every year at home. It's kind of become a tradition. I'm a huge train fan.
A couple years ago my high school orchestra put on a watered down version of this suite; I was in another orchestra and it felt like a secret they were keeping because I never heard anybody talk about playing this song. The second it started my nerdy face was beaming with joy. My favorite Christmas movie and they sounded amazing playing it! I was in tears and my heart felt tingly. I was so honored to be there I gave my teacher a huge hug afterwards
When I was in choir back in HS we sang the suite and it was an absolute BLAST our holiday concerts were all the music classes together. You could tell everyone's childhood was just coming together
This movie may be uncanny in places but the soundtrack is magical and nostalgic beyond comprehension. One of my favorite Christmas movies and soundtracks. 🎄
2020 wasn’t the greatest of years for everyone, but always remember, everyone will always have the Christmas Spirit within them. It might come out this time of year or another time, but I know one thing for sure: I have it year-round. We need more people like that in the world, with their Spirit all year. Have a very Merry Christmas. -GZ64 ❤️
@GirlZilla 64 thank you for your sweet dear message your right hopefully all suffering in the world, if it could stop for just one day what a beautiful day that would be, to all a merry holiday and a better future for everyone in 2022.
I love this movie more than u can imagine, it brings me so much nostalgia, the animation is good enough for me, and the music is beautiful. Man I miss the simple times, was always a tradition in my family to watch the movie right after Thanksgiving then go to Colorado Durango the next day to go in the real life polar express

There’s nothing like putting the polar express on Christmas Eve night and hearing this song play on the main menu

Lol same but in 08
This movie wasn't a huge deal in my childhood but I remember it so vividly that I almost cried when I realized where this song sounded familiar.
I know I’m a year late but does anyone love this film they just sit there and watch it during summer ?? I love this IT GIVES ME THE CHILLS I never will forget this film nothing can stop me watching and when the music raises it’s just so magical
Me and my family watch it every Christmas. I'll never stop loving it or feeling touched by the soundtrack.
I watch it during summer. The music is so magical, i just can't help it. ❄☃️
This movie will never get old

I watch it all the time
Kinda takes you back to your childhood. It's a sad but sweet memorable feeling this music has.

Nah, this came out the year i was born an now every year it's became tradition to watch it, nostolgic innit

😕i know years ago Polar Express was on tv, i forgot it after 2 weeks. It really makes me drop a tear... that was a good childhood
