There were virtually no redeeming qualities to this movie - the animation being a minor exception (everything but the people looked good). The movie very much made faith a virtue. But, of course, having actually seen Santa Claus, there is no reason to have faith - he had knowledge at that point. This is a very classic example of convoluting faith so it seems like it has a basis in fact, when facts are the antithesis of faith. I agree completely.

Also, in my most sincere opinion, the letter the girl should have receive is not "L" for leader, by "T" for token. My problem with the Polar Express is that it also makes faith a virtue.
