You know at the same time of referencing the polar express they intentionally reference the Galaxy express 999 with the train being able to fly. But that's just me X3
At least The Simpsons still shows as much admiration for The Polar Express. Nowadays, it just doesn't get as much love as it truly deserves. It's one of my favorite movies.
Things that the polar express have in the movie: Had No hole near the cab and the tender and had an wall on the cab and had no ladder had Number 1225 and BRO WHERES THE PEOPLE FROM THE POLAR EXPRESS?? and has coal not LEAFS and cant fly
Charlie studios polar express on the galaxy railways. with the actual polar express, and not big one. also the locomotive is more accurate to the Lionel O gauge model. plus, the locomotive is high on w##d.
so the simpsons copied the lionel G gauge and ready to play designs and turned it into something from galaxy railways!? well played Hollywood well played
