Read the AICN article, then make your judgments.

I never saw Polar Express, what exactly was the issue with that? I read the AICN article where he talks about the eyes, but was that it?

Written by Neil Gaiman was all I needed to see.

So for the totally ignorant, would that be a plus or a minus?

It means we've entered hallowed grounds.
You can adore Gaiman or hate his guts, but there'll be no middle ground.

+

Neil Gaiman = Sandman and a slew of other comics and graphic novels, plus Neverwhere, Stardust, Good Omens (w/Terry Pratchett), American Gods, Anansi Boys, etc. and the screenplays for Mirrormask and Princess Mononoke (English adaptation). My favorite writer by a huge margin.

No one has mentioned the fact that they are actually considering doing an NC-17 cut of the film.
