Apple's trailer website has once again brought you your first look at a trailer for a major upcoming movie release, this time for Robert Zemeckis' THE POLAR EXPRESS. The fantasy epic, based on the popular childrens book by Chris Van Allsburg, won't be in theaters until holiday season next year due to the elaborate and time consuming post-production schedule required. Star Tom Hanks and his castmates have been motion captured by director Zemeckis, allowing computer artists to recreate and manipulate his likeness so the Oscar-winning actor can play a variety of roles in the picture. The trailer gives audiences its first taste of what kind of digital magic we can expect to see in THE POLAR EXPRESS.

As was exclusively reported by this site just last week, the POLAR EXPRESS trailer will run in front of LOONEY TUNES: BACK IN ACTION which opens this Friday in theaters.
