This film takes me right back to when I was a kid on Christmas eve watching this film before being tucked into bed...I bought this for me and hopefully when my 2 are old enough they will enjoy this just as much... This is the REAL Santa and in my eyes always has been.
5 stars for nostalgia! Brilliant Film, enjoy!
The story is about a man named Claus. Every Christmas Eve, he travels around his homeland on his sled of Reindeer with his wife, Anya, delivering presents to all of his friends and children. However, one Christmas Eve, his wife, reindeer and he are caught in a terrible snowstorm. Later, they're rescued by a group of friendly elves (one of them named Patch is played by Dudley Moore. May God rest his poor soul) and they take them to their new home in the North Pole. There, Claus begins his new life as 'Santa Claus' and ever since that day, is able to fly on his sled and reindeer delivering presents to good children all over the world.
Eventually, during the story, the elf, Patch, believing that Santa no longer likes him, decides to leave and make it big in New York to make Santa like him again. It's up to Santa and his two new friends, a young boy named Joe, and a young girl named Cornelia, to bring him back before it's too late.
'Santa Claus the Movie' is definitely a movie that everyone should have in their Video/DVD collection. I've loved this movie ever since I was a baby. I've grown up watching it every single Christmas and have made it a personal tradition of mine to watch it every single year.
This is not the kind of movie that you will eventually get bored of watching. The story, soundtrack and characters are all so loveable that no matter how many times you've watched this movie over the years, you will always be really excited to watch it again the following Christmas. The creators of this most wonderful story have really succeeded in capturing my heart and it absolutely fills you up with the most wonderful feeling of the Christmas Spirit.
The special features on this DVD are really cool! You get to see a really long documentary on the making of the movie, as well as a few words from one of our main stars, Dudley Moore. You also get two special trailers from many years ago when the movie was only just released.
'Santa Claus the Movie' looks absolutely gorgeous on DVD format. I've always thought the picture quality was very good when they showed it on TV every Christmas, but DVD-format really takes the prize. The picture has been digitally-remastered, giving you a beautiful widescreen, crystal clear image. Not to mention that the audio-sound has been greatly improved!
If you want to make your Christmas one of the most memorable and special Christmas ever, then BUY THIS DVD NOW!!! You will NOT be sorry...!
