The Art of the Polar Express

A must-have for all Polar Express fans! Beautiful artwork, including preliminary ideas that were made while making the movie.

Fantastic!

This book is amazing. Even though if the story isn't that great to you, just looking at the pictures is fantastic.

Beautiful Book & Movie

I disagree with the other reviewer, because I thought this book was very worthwhile and mine was in fine shape. The pictures are breathtaking and it gives you a nice insight into how they made the movie. It's meant to be a coffee table book and one that you look at from time to time. It certainly will put you in the Christmas spirit.
