Tom Hanks: so what role will I be playing?
Director: Yes.
They mentioned in the video that Tom Hanks wanted to play the role of the conductor. But ultimately, he got a majority of the characters in the film.
All of them xD
Tom Hanks: So what role am I playing?
Director: The Film
Yes
I finally Urban Dictionary'ed that word.
Had absolutely no idea that he played all those characters
ditto
Apart from hearing his voice here and there i was most surprised that he did the main character
@@lillymsf5946 he didn't do the voice, that was Josh Hutcherson iirc
@@GoudaBug no that was the kid from spy kids
He played 6 roles
Tom Hanks literally played every adult character in this movie
I watched this movie in school alot! I didn't even know he was in the movie! 😭😭😭😭😭
@Gaming And Movie Entertainment My teacher would always put this before we have winter break 😂
@Gaming And Movie Entertainment why? Do you ever watched this in school?
even the main kid 💀💀 wtf
What about the mom
Robert Zemeckis: Alright who are we gonna cast for this movie?
Tom Hanks: Hold my hot chocolate
Then he goes on to win the Oscars for best Actor, supporting Actor, etc.
@@erikdavidson4914 LMFAO
Never heard or someone write “who’re”.....kinda looks like you’re saying “whore”, maybe that’s why alot of people rarely use it.
@@jesslabrunette Probably more of a slang contraction that is spoken more often than used in written grammar.
@@erikdavidson4914 yeah true
I don’t get why people don’t like this movie. The technology and Tom Hanks is really impressive
@Gaming And Movie Entertainment literally all my friends and ppl I talk to say it’s scary and retarded. Idk why it’s a great movie
The Easter eggs too
@@beverlythebird5040 maybe they expected the movie to have cartoony faces. They could be creeped out by the realistic faces because, it's too realistic for a cgi back then. I mean, maybe they think that the faces don't match with the "cartoony" vibe (that evokes a "fun" emotion for them).
@@marxvargas7697 actually, it was technically considered groundbreaking use of CGI motion capture when it was first released, and in the end it was not that well transcended the 3d when it comes to uncanny consideration
@Gaming & Movie Entertainment I understand what they mean. The Polar Express is one of those Christmas films that I start out watching, but by the middle lose interest in it. I always end up falling asleep in the middle of it for some reason. And I can't explain it. The Polar Express may have become a Christmas classic, but it will never be a Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, or A Charlie Brown Christmas, or a Grinch. It just won't.
Should've been titled "The Tom Hanks Express"
true
Mike Meyers, Tyler perry, and Eddie Murphy take notes
Lol so true
Or Lolita Express... .. .
@@2donnyblack2 goddamn.. I see what you did there
I think it's an instant classic because it has a basic premise. A boy who wants to believe but has his doubts, and then at the end, his heart is open to understanding the spirit of Christmas. It's not really about believing in Santa, it's about believing in the impossible.
I also really appreciate that it was technologically groundbreaking for it's time. I think it's that dream quality I always appreciated as a child because I used to have strange dreams that wouldn't make sense like this movie does sometimes. I always held a special place for Santa in my heart though even as an adult now because of this movie I think. A classic for the Zoomers maybe. 🎄🧑🎄
@@vipwilmsIsn't it weird how things make perfect sense in our dreams, but then when we wake up and think about them they make absolutely ZERO sense!🤣🤣🤣
Writers: How many characters do you wanna play?
Tom: Yes
600th like
tom: "i got this"
I knew he played the conductor, the hobo, Santa, and the father but never did I know that he played the Kid. Amazing see this is why I love Tom Hanks. Big Fan loved the Movie.
He didn't actually play the kids characters , they had actual children play in the movie too and the part where the girl and boy sing is done by the famous singer Meagan Moore and another person named Matthew hall.
What I mean to say was the main kid that tom played
@@QuiGonJinn1993 that part he was acting out was the hero boys line when he first boarded the train. An actual kid played the part though , there's several kids that played the characters especially the hero boy character.
@@josephbennett3482 dude Tom himself LITERALLY just said he played the boy lmao
@@r.s.4085 there can be more than one actor playing a part. And Tom obviously didn't voice the kid.
Didn’t know they use real movements instead of computer
Same, thought it was just animation
Motion capture
Just like videogames
Ya same
@@alexandratwoface6422 its emotion capture
Hands down, the best Christmas movie i've ever experienced.
Oh yea yea
Seen?
@@candybuilds2862 no
Definitely
Especially with Tom Hanks but I wouldn't consider to be the best because there are other good ones
he carried this movie on his back ! what a talent
This man Carrie's every movie he's in. Especially the movie "cast away"
He literally was the movie
Wow! Amazing! I didn’t know he played multiple characters in the movie! Such talent 🥰 amazing work altogether 🙌🙌✨🤩
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
He played all of them 🤣
He was Santa, The Father, The Conductor, The Ghost .. he did it all girl!!
I think he was the narrator (the main character but older) as well
Me either
This is one of the reasons that I think Tom Hanks is a great actor. Not only he stared in the movie, but played multiple of the main characters.
Y3s
Facts
Theory:
The conductor is the hero boy as an adult, confirming the theory that the train is a time machine
Oooh... Good theory!
Does Obi Wan still have the high ground?
Yes there's also a flux capacitor in the train so that could help
I thought of that aswell
Oooh, i like that
I just realized that Tom Hanks is literally everyone
@Gaming And Movie Entertainment I said that I realized it. You don't have to be so angry, I just didn't know he did that before.
I knew he did the adults but I didn't know he did the hero boy, very unexpecting
I didn’t know Tom Hanks played all of these characters he’s so talented
This movie came out when I was 8 years old, actually took a field trip to go see this movie with my entire school. I couldn't stop smiling the whole way there. My teacher actually asked me "my god, why are you smiling so much? Have you never gone to the movies?" One of my fondest memories. Tom Hanks I love you!!!! I didn't know he played some many of the characters, I thought it was just the conductor he played. Such a talented, humble man he is.
Same age. I somehow convinced people in my class it was real and the train would come christmas eve. I had some angry questioning after Christmas break 😂.
Is anyone else watching this movie before Christmas 🎄or on Christmas 2022 and beyond? I am. My favorite Christmas movie in the entire world. Even 18 years later. ❤️🌹 Excellent actors and movie. From the animation to the different voices, GIFTED. Unbelievably BREATH TAKING.
Thank you Tom Hanks making this movie awesome when I was kid till now even for my kids....
They really said, "We've got Tom Hanks cast for the conductor, who else should we hire? Nah, this works. He can just voice everyone."
For anyone wondering why Tom hanks played most of the adults in this movie:
The reason is is because the boy is all of them, the conductor is the older boy and wants him to believe which is why he is so worried about getting there on time, and the hobo represents doubt, and if the boy never got on the train or never got there on time, and how the hobo tricks the boy into having doubt, this is also why we see the hobo disappear at the end of the movie because the boy’s doubt has gone away or he has believed and his fate to turn into the hobo is gone, also the conductor and the hobo have the same color eyes and jawline. It shows that the boy could be anyone of them.
This is probably not true and could just be because he wanted to play the characters, but I think it ties into the story pretty well
My favorite animated Christmas movie. Happy holidays
Technically its a motion capture movie
@@KijkNiet ok
Same
Am i the only one who didnt know they actually put suits on
And recorded their movements i thought they just animated it?
nope you're not alone
Same here
It’s a bit hard to animate that, and the movements looked like the animated cgi from grand Moff tarkin in starwars rogue 1
It’s called motion capture, not all movies and video games use Mo-Cap
I thought the same thing
I love Tom Hanks. He is a fantastic and charismatic actor.
And also the producer of Band Of Brothers and The Pacific
Mom: So which role did you apply for?
Tom: All of them
Dude it's crazy to see how it is made. The movie is just a masterpiece; so much so that it's mentioned everywhere and the movie is used in several memes that I enjoy. The visuals are stunning, the character models look good, the movements and physics are realistic. This was surely ahead of its time. Honestly, when I googled this movie, I couldn't believe that it was released in 2004. I was 3 when it came out!
i wasnt even born. i love this movie, and still am amazed they managed to make it look so good. i loved it when my old elementary school would have us gather in the big lunch hall to play this movie and they gave us blankets and hot chocolate during the winter. man the nostalgia, i really wanna see what that place looks like inside if any different. the plastic chocolate bottles instead of the cockroach infested cardboard(?) milk cartons, popcorn chicken, reading cheat code explosion books when we were about to leave... nostalgia
I wish they'd remake this movie with today's technology. The character renderings are either creepy or on the edge of creepy. Still an awesome flick and it's on our top watch list every Christmas
They might not even need to reshoot it. Just use the same performances they captured for the original.
You do not change a work of art after it has been published.
the fact it is creepy is brilliant, they shouldnt change it, it would ruin it
Nah there’s something magical about this movie I love it. Why change anything? It’s a gem.
The elves are the worst offender
It's 6th grade, you come on the last day of school, the teacher puts on polar express and everybody gets excited, for once you like school, life's great.
On behalf of all 2000s kids, thank you Tom Hanks!!
how did he not win an oscar for doing all of this??
Does Tom Hanks even have a spot on the Walk of Fame?
I honestly can’t believe he played basically all the parts. It’s absolutely amazing.❤️
Absolutely PHENOMENAL, I had no idea he played them all...
This movie certifies that Tom Hanks is a real legend. 🙏🏻✨
The fact he played the kid too caught me off guard. Wouldn’t have believed you if you told me, but I guess seeing is believing!
We need a live action of The Polar express
imagine just everyone tom hank played, is just tom hanks
Maybe
@@dinsin2764 i see this as an absolute win.
Yess
@cristal star All the adults would still be tom hanks because half of them arent even in the same scenes.
They did the same with Jim Carrey in Christmas carol 2009, he plays multiple characters! Everytime Robert Zemeckis and Tom Hanks team up, it's something special!
Hey Ari? Do you have any idea when Robert Zemeckis died? Because I saw a video of the final chase from TATMR based on the director's cut, and at the end of the video a message comes onscreen and it says "In loving memory of: Robert Zemeckis.
The thing I love about Tom hanks playing a majority of the characters is that if you look at this movie as if "adult main character" is telling this story to someone, it begins to make sense why everyone is similarly voiced
“Is this you?”
“Yes 😳”3:03
Yes
Not gonna lie, this helped my migraine slightly. Tom hanks has a lovely voice
Tom Hanks actually also did the motion capture for the train.
A classic Christmas movie for the ages!!! One of my all-time favorites and will be forever. Tom Hanks is amazing in it! I cry at the end every single time I watch it! Touches the child inside me with Christmas wonder. Excellent!
One of the best actors of this generation. I've watched him way back in the early 80's when he played bosom buddies.
Tom Hanks is a Multitalent in Movies!😎👍❤
If Tom could voice multiple characters, then YOU know that’s TALENT👏🏾👏🏾
Now I am soooO convinced. Tom is an acting genius 😅
All salute tom hanks for being one of the greatest actors of all time.
When i was a kid me and my brother always watch this movie every year every christmas. Until the dvd broke for how many years and how many times we watxh this movie the best movie for Christmas.
*What the heck he damn near played every character! Super talented!!*
Did that dude say Tom Cruise instead of Tom Hanks😂
He said "first".
Yeah, he said when Tom first...at first, I thought he said cruise too
Yeah
He did 😂
This just shows how versatile Tom Hanks is as an actor.
I’ve got such a love for this move. The Mo-cap was so ahead of its time, Tom hanks totally outdid himself. The animation was made to look like the original book illustration and Alan silvestri’s composition in TPE is my favorite of any movie score of all time.
My four year old son has been watching this movie over and over again since Xmas 2021 non stop and I didn’t know how good this movie is.. and I watch it with him 😂
I didn't know Tom Hanks was playing multiple roles such amazing talent 🌟🌟
Tom hanks made his own entire movie amazing wnd classic! GOD BLESS TOM HANKS... HE MADE MY CHILDHOOD COMPLETE 😭😭❤❤❤❤
Tom Hanks is such a badass!! The fact that he plays so many different characters just amazes me. The Hobo is my favorite because of all the faces that Tom makes!
I just realized this is like the first movie I have watched, that the main character does not have a name
Edit: how did I get 110 likes this is the most I have ever gotten
At 3:15, Hanks calls the main character “Chris”
@@lmproductions6075 but in the movie he doesn’t get a name
Haven't watched tenet yet?
@@lmproductions6075 hero boy
O
Dude deserves a grammy for his hard work ☺️
Grammy is for music
My childhood are 50% composed by Tom Hanks masterpiece, true legend
The talent it takes for an adult man do the voice of a prepubescent child so well
“Wait, it’s all Tom Hanks?
“Always has been”
He was damn near everybody😂
One of the best Christmas movies ever
Tom Hanks is one of the greatest actors in my opinion 😍😍
Arguably
kid actors: am i a joke to you?
Adults: Yes
Ah yes... The Tom Hanks movie starring Tom Hanks, Tom Hanks, with Tom Hanks and the amazing Tom Hanks. Coming out Tom Hanks day this Tom Hanks holiday season.
I will watch this movie again once more. Just as I've done as a child.
I love this film because this story from the film is magic.And the little details,this makes the film so beuatiul.I dont know why so many people hate this film
I honestly Had No idea that this Movie was Motion Capture until I Saw This 😱
The Polar Express is what made me do some tokyo drift shit with my toy trains when i was younger
i like how someone related to Lincoln can play heaps of roles and nobody thinks of looking up his tree to see his ancestors
This is the best Christmas movie of all time. My girls love looking at this every Christmas season.
That technology is very impressive and I had no idea that's how they did the movie. Pretty cool
This is one of the best Christmas movies of all time!🎄❤️
0:05 this is Tom Hanks at the top and he’s got something covering his hair and the clip at the bottom shows why he’s played any of these characters from the 2004 film the polar express
sooo this man plays mutiple roles in this film?! what amazing!
20 years, 20 f***ing years and I never knew!
Dude, it's only 2021. We are 3 years short of 20 years since this movie came out. It's been 17 years come this Christmas season.
@@noahlewis6920 My mistake....
16 years, 16 f***ing years and I never knew!
Thanks ^_^
@@hstrhgfchnethshtrb u r welcome.
I'm kind of surprised that this film was animated, to be honest. as a kid, when I watched it, I thought it was all live action. Seemed that way to me. Guess not. Now I know.
You didn’t think they looked a little weird?
That’s kinda sad, a one year old could tell the difference between real and animated.
The hard work that went into making this film is just outstanding Tom Hanks really knock this one out the park as he does all the time👍👍
Tom hanks in polar express movies it’s classic this we’ll be good Christmas movies this year 💪💪💪💪
This guy could make his own movie and be the producer, director, sound designer, cinematographer, stunt double, and all the characters and it would still be better than twilight
It's just funny when he plays a kid and talk's to santa
I didn't know he played multiple roles in the movie. WOW. TOM IS AMAZING
Tom Hanks is literally amazing and so talented.
Did anyone else notice when he called the hero boy Chris??
I was wondering that too! I'm not sure if he was referring to the actor used as a stand in for that part or of that is actually here boys name. Intriguing
The Hero Boy's name is Chris Van Allsburg
Chris Van Allsburg was the guy who wrote the original book and we can only assume it was from Chris’ perspective
He practically played all the characters of the movie
This movie is such a masterpiece from my beloved childhood memories
Tom Hanks literally played every character
No wonder the movie was so good.
After hearing The Voice of woody....i think the conductor of train is the real man who's reincarnated to a toy
tom hanks is miracle in cinema
That's why I love Tom Hanks!!
Even though the cg on the characters are a bit uncanny and creepy but the rest of the cg like landscape, the locations, and especially the train they look really good and the rest of the is fantastic a true Christmas classic
Yes, but this was a 2004 movie. When I watched it then, it was groundbreaking for me.
Very impressive, great job Tom Hanks.
Wow, that really amazing that Tom Hank can do, he is one of the best actor of all time.
I’m 45 years old and have had favorite Christmas cartoons that were classics like Frosty, and Rudolf. But when I watched this one for the first time about 10 years ago, I knew it was an instant classic. I watch it every year at least 3 times a Christmas, just like Christmas Story or National Lampoons Christmas
Temuera Morrison: "You play more than one character in the same film?"
Tom Hanks: "Yes, I do."
Temuera Morrison: "Always a pleasure to meet a multi role actor."
@Gaming And Movie Entertainment I'm not forgetting about them. I'm just comparing Tom Hanks to Temuera Morrison using a partly edited quote Tem himself said in Star Wars AOTC😅
Basically The Tom Hanks Movie
I watched this movie a long time ago on a 4 inch mobile screen but it was so amazing and now I've a HDR OLED mobile screen to re-watch it. Love to Hanks 😍😍
Tom Hanks, a One-Man wonder 🙌🏽
