Australia?

maybe

watch the cricket

cricket is for fags
the only sport I care about is mens figure skating

But you don't understand user, motion capture is a revolutionary technology that was never ever used before this movie! Marvel at it! Marvel at Tom Hanks playing multiple roles through the power of technology!

That's basically how the stupid buzz for this overrated movie went when it was released.

Oh fuck this tune just reminds me of old flash toons from 10+ years ago.

I thought it looked just fine as a kid. The black/blue color scheme probably helped a lot.

Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to hire Mandark to do the voice of what was suppose to be a REAL kid.

This is the only time I ever heard the word toons used correctly for once

I remember one of the PolarExpress threads last year where some anons were arguing about the magic in this movie. It was funny to me so it just stuck in my head.

Kids fucking love it. It's like a cementing Chrismas movie. I'll never get it either. it's fucking ugly and hard to look at.

I never really noticed anything about the Polar Express looking ugly until people started complaining about it.

This is the movie that introduced me to the concept of "Uncanny Valley"

It's not even a good film leaving the animation aside.

I forgot about this scene, pretty cool.
What's the song?

>filename
Is that true? Could have sworn there was motion capture mentioned in the credits.

>fucking ugly
What?
The characters look fine, as for the story it’s pretty nice, makes for a really comfy Christmas movie.

To this day I'll never understand what they mean, it looks fine. "Uncanny valley" nonsense.

good movie

Running in the 90s.

Well I don't have a problem with Polar Express being on TV. But why the fuck is AMC playing both Happy Feet movies, because snow, in the fucking arctic? Also they're playing Haunted Mansion and Hocus Pocus. I'd rather see Die Hard, Batman Returns, and Edward Scissor Hands featured as Christmas movies, because at least they have Christmas in them.

They should make an animated horror movie using that technology.

they did, it was called monster house i think

I understand uncanny valley but honestly I had the opposite effect when I saw this movie. I thought it looked cool because it was different

It's probably much cheaper to get the rights to show the movies they are showing than the movies you want them to show.

How many years until Polar Express gets a remake?

every now and again I think to myself "hey that movie was kinda OK I should try watching it again" and then I get about 5 minutes in and see all the faces and turn it off.

Then....don't?

this film would've been better in live action, it would been an actual classic.

this being co/ some might say that it would've been better as 2d or pixar style 3D but I think Tim Hanks could've went down as a 'gene wilder as willy wonka' type of character.

Threadly reminder there's a deleted scene that explained the hobo ghost fucking died hitting Flat Top Tunnel and he's a ghost that shows up every Christmas Eve now.

His name is also actually King.

Linking unofficial archives for nonpass users is a bannable offense don't do it.

>Happy Feet
Did they not watch it? That movie is filled with anti-religious themes.

Everyone who doesn't enjoy this movie or says it is ugly has actually lost hold of the joy of Christmas and wouldn't be able to hear the bell.

If the joy of Christmas is living in a hell full of creepy children I'm fine with losing it.

What if this movie is actually incredible both artistically and technologically but because you don't have Christmas spirit you instead see it as a motion tracking dumpster fire

Had no clue Suspiria was a Christmas movie but I'm alright with that.

I mean a hard-horror movie for mature audiences. They could be zombies, ghosts or something. Imagine torture porn or gore with realistic CGI.

Just checked the TV guide. Die Hard is on a premium channel, no one has Batman Returns, and Edward isn't on anywhere, either.

Agreements with certain channels are a factor, too.

Hahaha faggot
