'The Polar Express' (2004)
A wondrously imaginative, diverse, and spirited allegory of childhood and the arduousness of adulthood.

Leslee Williams is a photojournalist who, despite international recognition and personal beauty, finds romance less than successful. Her hilarious friend, Ray, encourages her as best he can. A chance meeting with Jonathan Powell, a long-lost high school acquaintance, brings love unpredictably into her life. Everything is going fine until one weekend when Jonathan doesn't return from a "business trip". Leslee then finds herself on a journey where her trust, reporter skills, and personal strength are tested to their limits.

What are we willing to walk through to see our dreams come to pass? Our minds might be so wholly alive with the passions we carry and the plans we make to see these things become all we wish them to be, yet life doesn’t always want to come alongside.

The age-old question remains….can we overcome? Or will we BE overcome?
