Corrected entry: In the scene where the boy, girl and conductor are on the front of the train, it goes straight down, yet the trees look normal. That would mean they are growing at a 90 degree angle, which is obviously impossible.

Corrected entry: If The Polar Express returned the way it came after leaving the North Pole then how did it manage to cross the now un-frozen lake?

Corrected entry: While the train is climbing the spiral-shaped mountain, the engine and cars are shown to physically bend with the tracks.

Corrected entry: In the scene where hero boy and the other children are watching Santa's sleigh fly through the air to leave the North Pole, you specifically hear Santa call one of the reindeer, "Donder". If you turn on the closed caption, it also says "Donder". Historically that reindeer's name is "Donner".
Correction: The reindeer known today as Donner were originally Dunder (the Dutch word for "thunder"). Dunder was later reprinted as Donder, which developed into Donner (the German for "thunder") Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus. So, historically, that reindeer's name was Donder first. Santa apparently still uses that name.

Correction: Neither is it possible for a train to travel straight down. It's a fantastical vehicle travelling through a fantastical landscape.
