The Polar Express movie is an excellent adaptation of the book.  It has now become a yearly Christmas "must see".  I got the opportunity to see this movie in 3-D, which I highly recommend to anyone, especially those with children. As an adult, I was captivated and swept up in the classic Christmas spirit.

 It is a story of a young boy who is coming to an age where the concept of Santa Claus seems a little ridiculous.  In the middle of the night, on Christmas Eve, the Polar Express makes its round picking up boys and girls of said age to take them to the North Pole.
