The Polar Express

I just turned on the Polar Express thinking that it would be good for the kids and not so boring since I have never seen it before. Well, it has been on for about 20 minutes and I am in the other room on the computer so that should tell you something. I watched for about ten minutes until the whiny kid whose voice is clearly that of a 40 something New York mensch came on and then I was done. Icky computer animation is annoying enough without terrible characters too. Not my new Christmas favorite.
