EPL Winter Break Family Films at CAMS: The Polar Express

Tuesday, December 31, 2 pm, Chicago Avenue/Main Street,

This magical holiday tale tells of a young boy who still wants to believe in Santa even though his friends have “grown out of it.” His faith is rewarded when a steam train pulls up to his house and escorts him to the North Pole to meet Santa. The cutting-edge “motion capture process” used to film this story allows the real life actors to drive the emotions and movements of the animated characters. 2004
