Plot: 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, All Movie Guide

One of my Favorite Christmas Films

I have watched this movie every Christmas since I can remember! I still love seeing Santa's magic workshop, and the Reindeer who is afraid of heights and cover's his eyes with his ears :) If you are an 80's child this is a must have.

I first saw "Santa Claus The Movie" on TV when I was a child. I saw it again recently on TV during the Christmas holidays 2008.

The first part of the movie is about the story of how Santa Claus came to be.

The second part of the movie is set in the 20th century, in 1980s New York. A misunderstood elf named Patch becomes partners with an evil toymaker named BZ. Personally, I think this part is a bit weaker than the first half of the movie but it's still enjoyable.

Having searched for this movie for a number of years in Both New Zealand & Australia I was so pleased when I got told to try Amazon.com. I shared it with my kids and they (even at 12 & 14yrs) really loved it as truly shows the magic behind Christmas and Dudley Moore really makes a wonderful elf. I love especially the details of the North Pole and how everything is elf-made!
The movie tells of how Santa comes to be, how the whole delivery in one night happens and much much more in a truly believable way, then as time passes and today's children aren't satisfied with wooden toys they try something new and a certain young elf learns about being away from the north pole then well the story takes off from there. This is a wonderfule Movie for the whole family to sit and watch togeather!!!
