not saying you didn't get it; but its even more impactful because of his previous statement, "seeing is believing, am I right?". The kid doesn't believe in Santa and ends up seeing him and from then on believed in him. It was interesting to the hobo because he's a ghost and the little kid didn't believe in ghosts. Great scene and voice acting.

But also, I’ve always seen the casting as intentional, it’s important that they’re all tom hanks because it shows you that the hero boy is more of an archetype than an actual character in his own right. Hero boy is in the early stages of the same journey that everyone takes - from the hobo whose lost his belief, to the conductor who has just enough faith to always get to the North Pole on time, to Santa Claus, the “enlightened” person who made it through the journey without losing who he truly is, and becomes this larger than life figure who helps others on their own journeys.

This movie is wonderful

“Seeing is believing”-polar express “Believing is seeing”- The Santa clause

Those are valid questions; “Do you believe in ghosts?” And “Seeing is believing, right?”

I've seen this movie so many times and yes, it's weird and creepy animation wise and sometimes doesn't make much sense but I love it. I love the eerie aesthetic of this whole movie and I always felt a dark undertone the whole film. Especially scenes like this and the train with all the broken toys. While watching this movie recently me and my gf came up with a theory which may be a bit much, but I thought it was interesting. So, the Hobo I think is supposed to represent the hero boy's side of him that doesn't believe in Santa, and I think that's what the movie is trying to imply. But another perspective is what if he is the ghost of a child who died on the train. He says in this clip to the boy what if you don't want to be tricked and bamboozled. This is because he was tricked when he was a boy, he was tricked into going onto this train to the north pole but instead he was killed. The Hobo wasn't the only one killed many other children hopped onto the polar express just to be tricked and meet a terrible fate, and when we go into the cart with all those ruined toys those are the toys of the children who were killed. I know it may be a bit of a stretch but I really like this theory I think it's fun and it makes as good amount of sense.

I first thought that the voice actor in this scene was Tom Waits!

The “ghost” gives the kid sensory information, like the coffee & touch, then proceeds to ask the kid if he believes in ghosts. It seems like the kid does believe in ghosts since he is experiencing the coffee & the push on the shoulder..

The irony is in the idea that seeing is believing, but hero boy doesn't believe in ghosts even though he's looking at one. Maybe you could say the same about the existence of God, or meaning. That would mean knowing is believing, not seeing - but how can you know something you haven't seen?
