''[[The Polar Express]]'' is a lavishly illustrated children's book by [http://babbletrish.blogspot.com/2009/12/when-you-see-terrier-drink-lets-read.html Chris Van Allsburg] in which a young boy, straining to hear the silver bells of [[Santa Claus|Santa's]] sleigh on Christmas Eve, instead hears a train's whistle. He goes outside to find a magical train, the eponymous Polar Express, which was sent to pick up the boy and hundreds of other children to go the North Pole and Santa's workshop. There, one of the passengers will receive "the first gift of Christmas".
Upon arrival at the Pole, the boy is chosen. When Santa offers to give him anything for a gift, he simply asks for a bell from Santa's sleigh, as they make the most beautiful music he has ever heard. The children all board the Express and hurry over to the boy's seat, asking him to sound the bell. Tragically, he had placed the bell in a pocket with a hole in it. The children leave the North Pole heartbroken.

A beloved Christmas classic, in 2004 it was adapted into a full-length motion-capture CG film directed by [[Robert Zemeckis]] with [[Tom Hanks]] providing most of the movements and voice work.
