Wow! I observed the same thing! I was in a theater full of children of all ages and I had never experienced anything like it. It was NOT boring, like one previous posted estimated. It was fantastic! I don't know or care about the politics of the person who financed the film. I sometimes wonder if, out here in the blogisphere focus so much on our ideology that we fail to see things in our peripheral consciousness. Anyway, like I said. The movie is a masterpiece and history will prove it so. "A Christmas Story" was nearly a blip on the radar but is now considered one of the best Christmas movies of all time. Personally, up until I saw "Polar Express" it was my favorite but now it's a tossup between them.

I didn't say it was boring, but from the trailers and previews it simply looks boring to me. A movie can have a lot of great special effects and a great storyline, but if the timing drags or the look is too dark and staid, it will have an uphill battle to fill the seats. Meanwhile, the previews and commercials for The Incredibles are great.

Have you seen "The Incredibles"? I'm wondering how it compares to "The Polar Express". My family loved "The Incredibles". My kids ranked it right up with the Harry Potter and Star Wars movies.
