The Polar Express is a children's book written and illustrated by Chris Van Allsburg, first published in 1985. It tells the story of a young boy who takes a magical train ride to the North Pole on Christmas Eve, where he experiences a journey of self-discovery and learns the true meaning of Christmas. The book was later adapted into a feature-length animated film, released in 2004 by Warner Bros. and directed by Robert Zemeckis. The movie features Tom Hanks as the voice of several characters, including the Conductor, Hero Boy, and Santa Claus, and it uses motion capture technology to create a realistic animation. The story has since been adapted into a video game and various stage productions.
