The Polar Express is a whimsical tale about a magical train that takes young children to see Santa Claus and all the wonders of the North Pole...or is it a dream? Along the way they meet elves, a kind Conductor, Santa himself and several others while enjoying an adventure that resembles such things as roller-coaster rides, sleigh rides, and skis. They learn life lessons including the power of belief, facing danger, memory and more through the characters of Hero Boy, Hero Girl, Lonely Boy and the Know-It-All. Uncanny at times, very ambitious, baffling and a bit strange in others but always entertaining film will leave everyone full of Christmas cheer.

Conductor: Sometimes seeing is believing. And sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see.

Answer: After "Hero Boy" gets back into the train the kids are all laughing and spouting gibberish. This is often done in post-production when backround noise or talking is necessary. They aren't saying or shouting anything in paticular, just a bunch of kids jabbering on about nothing. I listened to that section three times and it's just gibberish.
