The Polar Express

A boy experiences doubt in Santa after his younger sister brings it up, and he falls asleep on Christmas Eve with this question in mind. His thoughts materialize in a dream led by the conductor of the Polar Express train who resembles his father. Both his mind and the events of the Polar bound train travel the ups and downs twists and turns of the idea of what is necessary for belief. We witness the child of strength and the child of noncommittal, along with joys and distraction of his Christmas Eve dream. What present do you take with you?

Continuity mistake: During the scene when the Polar Express slides across the ice and the conductor is telling the train controllers to head for the tracks, the distance between the train and the tracks keeps changing.

Conductor: One thing about trains - it doesn't matter where they're going. What matters is deciding to get on.

Trivia: Whenever Hero Boy asks Hero Girl, "Are you sure?" some dramatic music is played. This is the same music that was used in the BTTF Trilogy whenever Marty Mcfly was called a chicken.

Question: When Hero Boy gets back from the toy room in the train, what were all the kids shouting?

Answer: After "Hero Boy" gets back into the train the kids are all laughing and spouting gibberish. This is often done in post-production when backround noise or talking is necessary. They aren't saying or shouting anything in paticular, just a bunch of kids jabbering on about nothing. I listened to that section three times and it's just gibberish.
