After introducing how Santa and Mrs. Claus came to the North Pole and began their work delivering toys at Christmas time, this routine children's film segues into a story about an evil corporate magnate (John Lithgow). One of Santa's elves (Dudley Moore) goes to work for the nasty tycoon and invents a wild array of far-out toys. Then there is a little boy who does not believe in Santa Claus and a girl who finds out about the toymaker's plans to defraud his company. Santa's reindeer are a little under the weather, not to mention Santa himself. This labyrinth of subplots quickly draws attention away from the story, wherever it is. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

    This movie is my FAVORITE Christmas movie ever! I as 10 when this movie came out and I love watching it every year. My 3 year old watched it last night and was glued to the screen. It is a magical story about Santa.

    Get a big blanket, a bowl of popcorn and sit down with your family. This is an utterly charming, fun and heartwarming film that everyone in the family can enjoy, and it's a rare thing these days to find a Christmas movie that still seems "fresh," many years after its making. This film will truly make you smile.

    The worst Santa Claus picture ever made. Don’t waste your time and save yourself a huge disappointment. There are by far better films of the topic.
