Rating: Summary: 26 AND STILL BELIEVING! Review: First off, I have to say one of the reasons I still believe in Santa Claus is because I go to St. Nicholas Catholic Church, and Santa Claus is also called St. Nick. "Santa Claus The Movie" is the other reason.I first watched this movie about 15 or 16 years ago, whenever it came out in the theaters. I actually wanted to see "One Magic Christmas" more when they both came out, but decided instead to see "Santa Claus The Movie." And that was one of the best decisions. "One Magic Christmas" wasn't as good when I saw it a year or so later. "Santa Claus The Movie" is my favorite christmas movie next to "Miracle on 34th Street" (both versions) and "A Christmas Story." By the way, David Huddleson plays an excellent Santa Claus.

Rating: Summary: Excellent movie to watch Christmas eve Review: Having watched this movie with my eldest grandson when he was just 4 yrs old (now 16) and he has never forgotten it, we would like to know if we are able to purchase this movie in Australia Having searched around Adelaide South australia so far no luck. after watching this movie we sprinkled glitter onto the carpet as we had no chimney so it looked as if Santa had come through the door, well we never did ever get to vacum it all up for years after we could still see the glitter.
Rating: Summary: BEST EVER CHRISTMAS MOVIE Review: I cant believe that people don't like this movie. This is the best Christmas Video me and my mum have ever seen. It was shown on T.V in the UK a couple of years ago and we recorded it. My dad however decided that he wanted to record The Motorshow over it, my Mum was not impressed. The first time we saw this movie was at the pictures when it first came out. I love it and I realy realy want a copy so bad. It would make my Mum's Christmas. PLEASE PLEASE RE RELEASE THIS FILM IN THE U.K. IVE SEARCHED EVERWHERE FOR IT AND NO ONE HAS A COPY. COME ON GUYS WHATS GOING ON.
Rating: Summary: A True Christmas Classic Review: I have enjoyed this movie since its release in 1985. The music definitely puts you in that Christmas spirit. The song "Christmas All Over the World" by Sheena Easton is a classic in itself. I would recommend this movie to anyone that enjoys the holiday season. The story is gentle enough for little ones but just as enjoyable for adults. As an added bonus on the DVD edition, you get to to see a 50 minute "Making of Santa Claus the Movie" and director's commentary.
Rating: Summary: Magical! Review: I have watched this movies so many times.I never get tired of it. It really is a magical movie. If you love Christmas then you will love this movie!
Rating: Summary: DREADFUL Review: I love the other films by the director of SANTA CLAUS so I thought I should buy it. Well, it is the only film I've ever regretted purchasing as I could not even watch it through without fast forwarding cuz it is so awful. It is wholly without irony in its subject and its so relentlessly optomistic that it becomes oppressive. Who wants to watch looooonnnnnnng sequences of elves making crafty looking toys that no child would want to play with while the most insipid music ever scored drives you to suicide in the background. This is like a remake of a George Pal puppetoon stretched to over two hours and coated with enough sugar to make the entire world diabetic in just one sitting. I haaaaatttttteddddd this film and I hope that I never have to see any portion or still of it again. BLEEECHHH!!!!
Rating: Summary: Become a child again! Review: I love this movie! I have watched it so many times, not because it is believeable, but because it allows you to fantasize and become a child again. I originally taped it and now am ordering the video because I wore my tape out. I took the tape to France and showed it to a three-year-old. He didn't understand any of the words, but he was mesmerized by the movie. Anyone who doesn't see the fantasy in this is a stuffed shirt who needs to lighten up!
Rating: Summary: Wonderful Christmas Classic Review: I love this movie! I watched it every year until my sister taped over it and I am so happy to have found it! This classic has the BEST Santa ever and the story of how he became Santa is beautifully crafted. Its a wonderful story and ranks up there with the Burl Ives' Rudolph and other Christmas classics!
Rating: Summary: i have to watch it every year!!! Review: i love this movie!! it absolutely captures the spirit of christmas. i have to admit though, if you are sick with the flu, i do not recommend you watch this, as the horrible costumes (polka dots and bright colors everywhere) will make you sicker. However, that small flaw aside, this movie gets better every time i see it! i love the fact that santa's workshop is visible to only those who believe. this movie always puts me in the christmas spirit. i have to watch it every year, before we get our tree, and i am all set for the joyful season! you'll love it!!!!!
