Holiday drivel at its worst - The Polar Express Reviews

(Sigh...) Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, the holiday "feel-good" syrup pours all over this wholly sugary, recycled emotional claptrap sundae of a movie. The book was mildly entertaining, but you can get the same feeling and thoughtfulness from "Miracle on 34th Street" and "It's a Wonderful Life" - classics in their own right. The animation and storyboarding are simply atrocious - second-rate design and poor motion geometry make this thing look like a bad video game. Need I say more? For God's sake, pass this movie by (at least until it's shown on TBS next year for three weeks straight).
