Tom Hanks: What role am I playing? Robert Zemeckis: Yes. Robert Zemeckis' THE POLAR EXPRESS was released in theaters on this day 20 years ago. It was the first feature-length film created entirely with motion capture technology.

At the 77th Academy Awards, THE POLAR EXPRESS earned three nominations: Original Song ("Believe," Music and Lyric by Glen Ballard and Alan Silvestri), Sound Editing (Randy Thom and Dennis Leonard), and Sound Mixing (Randy Thom, Tom Johnson, Dennis Sands and William B. Kaplan). #ThePolarExpress #TomHanks #RobertZemeckis #HeroBoy #SantaClaus #Christmas #MotionCapture #VoiceActing #Oscar #Oscars #AcademyAwards #Movies #Film
