The Academy Award-winning team of Tom Hanks and director Robert Zemeckis reunite for Warner Bros. Pictures' "The Polar Express," brought to life in full CG animation through Sony Imageworks' next-generation motion capture process that allows live-action performances to drive the emotions and movements of the digital characters. One of the most widely-held children's books in US libraries, "The Polar Express" has been awarded the Caldecott Medal for the most distinguished American picture book for children, acclaimed by The New York Times as one of the Ten Best Illustrated Children's Books, and recognized by the NEA as both a Top100 kids' book and a top 100 teachers' book.
