Library to show ‘The Polar Express’

Just in time for the Christmas season, the Crowley library’s Saturday Morning Children’s Christmas Movie Matinee is set for Saturday, Dec. 13, at 10 a.m.

This month’s movie, “The Polar Express,” is rated PG and children are invited to attend the free showing in their pajamas.

Released in 2004, The Polar Express is a motion capture computer-animated musical Christmas fantasy film based on the children’s book of the same name by Chris Van Allsburg.

Along with Tom Hanks, who voices several roles, the movie features Chris Coppola and Michael Jeter.

The Polar Express is the story of a young hero boy on Christmas Eve who boards on a powerful magical train that’s headed to the North Pole and Santa Claus’s home. 

What unfolds is an adventure which follows a doubting boy, who takes an extraordinary train ride, during which he embarks on a journey of self-discovery which shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe.
