Episode 92 - Whaitiri Tua-Warbrick (The Polar Express 2004)

"The Polar Express" (2004) is a divisive movie, in which 6 separate Tom Hankses (Toms Hanks?) hold conversations with one another in different voices and neither of the two primary characters actually have names. It attempts to adapt a very quiet, dreamlike picture book into a riotous early 00's 3D animated adventure movie and makes a series of completely deranged choices in trying to bridge that gap. It's also one of Whai's favourite movies, due in part to being one of the three he owned as a kid young enough to be in this movie's target audience.
