In defense of The Polar Express

The Polar Express came out 20 years ago last month. It’s hard to believe that two decades have passed since it hit theaters. I remember watching at the time, not particularly interested in it. More than that, there was a bit of an eerie quality to the whole thing.

In the decades since, I’ve become a mother. And now, my two young boys absolutely love it. Seeing it through their eyes has changed my opinion: The Polar Express is a classic.
