With a twinkling grotto and a visit from Santa himself before the film, this cinema experience will also be adapted to create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere for audiences with additional needs. So bring your last minute requests and give it to straight to the man himself. Tom Hanks and director Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump; Cast Away) reunite for Polar Express, an inspiring adventure based on the beloved children’s book by Chris Van Allsburg. When a doubting young boy takes an extraordinary train ride to the North Pole, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery that shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe.
