Movies at the Museum: The Polar Express - Charleston, SC

December 6, 2008

10:00 am

Kick off the season with this new holiday classic movie and a craft for kids. This magical holiday tale tells of a young boy who still wants to believe in Santa even though his friends have “grown out of it.” His faith is rewarded when a steam train pulls up to his house and escorts him to the North Pole to meet Santa. The cutting-edge “motion capture process” used to film this story allows the real life actors to drive the emotions and movements of the animated characters. Reservations are strongly recommended for this event – call 722-2996 x264 or online at www.charlestonmuseum.org. RATED G.
FREE for Museum members and FREE with admission ($10/adults, $5/children, under 3 free)
