Santa Claus - The Movie (DVD)

...to come, not just because santa would be coming to leave me lots of lovely presents but because it would mean taking part in one of my favourite traditions- sitting down with my parents and siblings to watch Santa Claus the movie. Out would come all the snacks and a hot chocolate and we'd pile onto the sofa to put in the video(or frequently watch it on tv) now as a grown up i carry on the tradition with my own children and still watch it every christmas ...

Review of Santa Claus - The Movie (DVD)

The tale and legend of Santa Claus is one that sits withe everyone both young and old as a wonderful feeling around Christmas. The notion of a large old man with a huge beard, hearty laugh, red and white costume and herd of reindeer pulling a sleigh through the air to give kid their presents on Christmas Eve is magical, and has spawned many films telling stories of old Saint Nick. This offering, Santa Claus The Movie, was released in 1985, and focuses ...
...elves as much as Santa himself. It is a film that was true to my heart as a child when it was released, and still is now. I watched it this Christmas just gone with my 4 year old son, and he loved it too. The film is 104 minutes long. The Plot Santa Claus lives happily in the North Pole with his wife, elves and toymakers. There is a hierarchy of toymakers, at the top of which is Patch. After another year of competing to see who has the best toy ...

...a heartwarming tale of how Santa Claus as we know him now began, and how he was chosen and why. He and his wife are then magically whisked off to the north pole, and a very well organised elf setup. As many a christmas passes by Santa becomed increasingly overworked and rundown, so he must choose an assistant. But all does not go to plan as things get worse the children of the world start to lose faith. All the while a big time toy manufacturer run ...
...to try to prove to Santa that he can do something right. Armed with a large batch of magic elf dust things can only go wrong. The plot to this film in my opinion is ok, it gives the little kids insight into how christmas as they know it started. Showing them that christmas isn't just about recieving presents and how lucky they are to get them. This is because alongside the main brunt of the film there is a story of a young boy called Joe who has ...

...to adults and children alike. Santa is played by David Huddleston, he is the best looking Santa I ever saw, with support from Dudley Moore as an elf, and the wonderful John Lithgow as a baddy. On the DVD there is a making of documentary which is about 50 minutes long and great, For best results, snuggle under duvet on the sofa on Christmas Eve, with a big mug of hot chocolate and pretend you're 5 all over again, if you have children, watch their ...
