Taking a trip down the infamously terrifying uncanny valley, The Polar Express struggles to reflect the real-life emotions and facial expressions of a human character, instead opting for poor-quality renders that suggest nothing behind the glazed eyes of the main cast. Though the animation does a reasonably decent job at recreating objects, landscapes and even fantastical creatures, it really struggles with humans, yielding bizarre, disturbing and often hilarious results as a computer tries to recreate accurate facial expressions.
