The Polar Express--need advice!

blondii428 · December 2013

I want to keep my 5 year old step daughter believing in Santa as long as possible so that she doesn't ruin it for DS when he's bigger. I want to put a Christmas movie on tonight and was thinking about watching the Polar Express. I've never seen it before, so can those of you that have, can you share your input on whether or not this movie would bring up the question of "is Santa real" in her mind? Thanks ladies!

Or any suggestions that are currently on Netflix!

I don't think it would. Basically a little boy wonders if Santa is real and goes on a train ride to the north poke, meets Santa and then cones home again. He gets a confirmation that he's real at the end of the movie.

It won't spoil it at all. Magical movie, but there are a couple scenes/characters that might be scary for a 5 year old. Unless the LO is used to scary stuff.

It's my 3 year old's favorite Christmas movie! I love it too!

I'd just make sure you have some HOT HOT HOT hot chocolate while you watch

that's my favorite scene!

It's a good one! My son is 2.5, and last year it scared him, but not this year, though he does get concerned at some of the scarier parts. I'd say definitely safe for a 5 year old!
