Movie Summary:
Adapted from Chris Van Allsburg's children's book, this animated movie is about kids taking a magical train to the North Pole to meet Santa. The animation technique used involved filming humans moving about, then digitally tweaking the results into something that looks rather like a photographed series of drawings. Robert Zemeckis directed, and Tom Hanks played half a dozen roles. During this movie's theatrical release, many people saw it in IMAX 3-D format.
