The Hidden Message of The Polar Express? Chris Van Allsburg

The Polar Express is a popular children's Christmas movie from 2004 by Tom Hanks and Robert Zemeckis. But before it was a movie, it was a book written by author and illustrator Chris Van Allsburg in 1985. Before Chris Van Allsburg wrote The Polar Express, he wrote other popular books like Jumanji, which has also been made into a popular film franchise. Today we’re going over the life of Chris Van Allsburg and how he went from a normal high school kid to a very successful artist and author. And then we will explore The Polar Express movie and its interesting christian symbolism. The film, which was directed by Robert Zemeckis and Tom Hanks has some hidden religious themes and messages that are fun to explore- the most apparent themes of the film are those of faith. Does the movie have christian symbolism? Or Are these Christian themes merely based on interpretation? Did director Robert Zemeckis consciously include a deeper message of God? Join me today as we take a deeper look at the films production…
