I saw this movie with my nephew, father and sister in our pre-holiday preparation. The movie is incredible for its atmosphere, effects and especially the music.I bought the soundtrack and was right back in the movie. "When Christmas Comes to Town" is a beautiful song with a haunting, Harry Potter-like melody.The mixture of half totally new songs, musical scores and old but not necessarily often played classics makes a good background for any holiday music playing.And absolutely, crank up the stereo, especially in a closed environment like a car, and enjoy the first track as it comes. The excitement of a roaring train gets ever kids' heart, young or old, pumping.
