TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

The film is listed in the 2006 Guinness Book of World Records as the "first all-digital capture" film, where all acted parts were done in digital capture.

In the North Pole City communications room, an elf describing a bad little boy in New Jersey named Steven who is terrorizing his two little sisters. This line is a nod to Robert Zemeckis' friend and mentor, Steven Spielberg. Spielberg grew up in New Jersey, and has admitted many times that he frequently terrorized his two younger sisters.

Before Hero Boy boards the Polar Express, the clock says 11:55. The time doesn't change until the first gift of Christmas is given, near the end of the film.

When the engineer and fireman are trying to grab the pin necessary for the trains throttle, a working flux capacitor is visible in the background. It's a reference to Back to The Future, and could mean the Polar Express is a functioning time machine.

Hero Boy's real name is never mentioned. However, according to books containing information about The Polar Express, including art books and fact books, Hero Boy's name is Chris, after the novel's author, Chris Van Allsburg.

Popular Dialogues

"The Conductor: Seeing is believing, but sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see."

"The Boy: Thank you. The Conductor: No, thank YOU. One thing about trains... it doesn't matter where they're going. What matters is deciding to get on."
