The Polar Express Compass
The Polar Express is a magical train that travels to the North Pole. We are not sure how we can book a ticket, but we are dying to do so. I mean- can you imagine what wonderful things you could see from the windows of the train?
Anyway, back to reality. Although the movie contains fantastical elements, creators combined it with some very real ones. The compass, for example, is always pointing south. This is of course because the North Pole is the northernmost part of the world. It might be a simple addition to the movie, but it helps to build it into a semi-believable escape for little kids.
