FREE Movie: The Polar Express

A free Christmas matinee, and the train leaves at one.

The Polar Express plays as a Sunday matinee, free to everyone thanks to Ingersoll Auto of Danbury. A boy who has grown skeptical about Santa Claus finds a train stopped outside his window on Christmas Eve, bound for the North Pole. He takes the conductor up on the invitation, and the ride that follows gets him to Santa's headquarters, some fast friends and a lesson about what Christmas is actually for. Rated G, made in 2004, and it runs an hour and forty minutes.

It's free. There is no charge at the door for this matinee, which is underwritten by Ingersoll Auto of Danbury.

Where to go. Edmond Town Hall is at 45 Main Street in Newtown, and the box office number is 203-270-4285.
