2024 marks the 20th anniversary of the release of The Polar Express and the Opera House is celebrating by partnering with Festivals Fredonia to present the animated feature film as part of Miracle on Main Street. Sponsored by Southern Chautauqua Federal Credit Union, admission to the film is FREE.
In the film, the Academy Award-winning team of Tom Hanks and director Robert Zemeckis (Forrest Gump, Cast Away) reunite for an inspiring adventure about a doubting young boy who takes an extraordinary magical train ride to the North Pole. In doing so, he embarks on a journey of self-discovery that shows him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe.
Based on the beloved Caldecott Medal children’s book by Chris Van Allsburg, The Polar Express combines classic storytelling with a highly advanced version of motion capture technology developed and tailored to meet Zemeckis’ uncompromising vision. It was the first feature film ever to be shot entirely in this format. Rated PG for fantasy adventure action, the film runs 99 minutes.
Free admission tickets are available only at the door on the afternoon of the screening. Seating is limited to 400; and patrons are reminded that there is no food or drink allowed in the Opera House and that all children must be accompanied by an adult.
The Polar Express is presented in partnership with Festivals Fredonia, and is sponsored by the Southern Chautauqua Federal Credit Union
