Listening to the name of the movie, it is like a drama about fast urban life, like the adventure story of the emperor penguin in Antarctica, or the documentary about the arctic and polar bears like the frozen earth. When the little boy's face appeared on the screen, and after watching it for a while, I suddenly realized that it was an animated movie.
The little boy watched his parents tell his sister about Santa Claus through the keyhole on Christmas Eve, he didn't look happy, I thought he was a foster child and was not treated fairly at home until his parents came into his room , kissing the child goodbye, which dispelled my initial thought. However, the ensuing doubt is the words of the parents: "He always didn't sleep before, he had to wait for Santa Claus, the child grew up." Isn't this story told to children like a Disney animated movie? Yes, the protagonists are no longer children, what are they talking about? I don't know if a grown-up child still likes fairy tales, but some of my favorite books in elementary school include Gulliver's Travels, The Adventures of the Odyssey, the long fairy tale composition selected from the composition, and Grimm's Fairy Tales from Andersen's Fairy Tales. Now I myself basically neither read nor listen to fairy tales, and I don’t have the same mood as when I was young.
The story begins when the little boy steps on that train, and his thoughts are freed - there is nothing that can't be done, only the unexpected. And the advantages of cartoons over live-action films are fully reflected at this moment - there is nothing that can't be done, only unexpected.
True to its name, this train is an old-fashioned train to and from the poles. It's exactly like the train in the book "The Locomotive" - a locomotive that can shovel snow, headlights that can rush out of fog, whistling whistles, coal piles in a large carriage, pressure gauges, brakes ...nice train, isn't it? At the back of the film, a carriage slides to the place in the center of a large disc, much like a train garage used to change locomotives.
It's like a dream. The little boy boarded an unfamiliar train and went with the train to the unknown and mysterious polar regions. Although he doesn't believe in Santa Claus, his curiosity is never absent. At the same time, it is us who follow the little boy on his journey, but there will be a little uneasy feeling in the heart because of the unknown, will he encounter any danger? What bad guy did you meet?
The journey begins to show unusual signs when the conductor is chopping and cutting, setting a bizarre tone when the ticket flies out the window, swirls around and returns to the carriage, and the conductor confronts the child who is in trouble. The reasonable attitude conveys the kindness towards children that is tolerant and not evil. The whole movie looks like this - you never know what will happen in the next second. As the train moves forward, you just need to watch it patiently and at ease. The moderate tension makes the movie more interesting. Strange things happen, no bad guys, just coincidences, no evil.
The ending of the film is very interesting. The child does not believe in Santa Claus at first, but he can't hear the voice that others can hear, and he can't see the Santa Claus that others can see. So he tried to believe that, like a child, the crisp and sweet bells really rang in his ears. Later, the little boy grows up, but the childlike innocence remains, and the beautiful bells of Christmas bells will always accompany him.
This story is about finding the innocence of a child. Where there is innocence, there will be miracles. In one's life, what to believe and what not to believe is in one thought. If you don't believe in anything, then life is too boring. Fairy tales, the most beautiful and precious wealth in this world, fairy tales are also in everyone's heart.
