Kids love this movie because, well, it's full of kids, a wild train ride, Santa Claus, presents, elves--what's not to love if you're a kid? Adults like it because it's fascinating to watch the state-of-the-art animation, which dazzles the senses. In this special edition there are added features, including one on the process using live actors wearing a sophisticated array of electronics on their bodies to enable the computers to generate animated characters that look amazingly real down to the hairs on their heads. Tom Hanks pulls off another tour de force, playing multiple characters as well as producing the film. He's a pretty amazing guy, Tom Hanks.
Great movie for the family, the two disc special edition set is the right choice for your family.

Easily one of the best holiday movies ever made, the live animation style works to perfection in this film. I'll get the "bad" out of the way first. The scenes on top of the train could be considered too intense for some younger viewers, but my 5 year old enjoyed the movie with no bad dreams afterward. The acting put this into an upper class, especially when coupled with superb writing. It is a tear-jerker at times, an action movie, a friendship movie, and one you can watch over and over again. In fact, I just bought another DVD as the first is showing its age, and one can stay in the car while the other stays home (in season, of course). So look out "It's a wonderful life", "A Christmas carol", "A Christmas story", "Miracle on 34th street", and all the rest, 'cause there's a new addition to the top Christmas flicks. Enjoy!Read full review
My grandchildren loved this animation. The sound of the train was so realistic we felt like we were on a ride through the Alps. The story is beautiful and they are 4 and 7 and loved the characters. The hot chocolate with the waiters scene was fantastic. Love this movie and the graphics are superb.
