hell yeah ๐Ÿ”ฅ In a defiance of physics that would make a professional rally driver jealous, The Polar Express features a massive steam engine drifting sideways across a shattering frozen lake. During the chaotic Glacier Gulch sequence, the crew is forced to steer the derailed 400-ton locomotive like a race car to realign it with the tracks on the opposing shore. Although steam trains utilize solid axles that make such precise steering mechanically impossible, the scene remains a masterclass in high-stakes animated tension. This absurdity has famously transcended the film itself, becoming a beloved internet meme where the sequence is often set to high-energy โ€œInitial Dโ€ soundtracks. Does the sheer coolness of the visual spectacle make up for the scientific impossibility of a locomotive drifting on ice? What are your thoughts? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’ญ ( Media: The Polar Express [2004] ) #cars #drift #driftcar
