    In defense of Sandy Claws: Imagine you're doing your job, and some guy you've never met sends these demon children to kidnap you so that he can steal your career and identity. Then you're sent to a villain's lair where he more or less tortures you all night and almost kills you. Santa had every right to be pissed

      Yeah, I agree. Athena has become too attached to Jack Skellington. On the one hand, I don't blame her, he is a charming character. But on the other... Santa had all the right to be pissed at him. And even then, it only takes less than a day to forgive him, since right after they return to Halloween Town, Santa comes by in his sleigh and makes snow fall on the town as a thank you. When that first happened I was like "Oh! Really? He's forgiven him that quickly? Ok..."

      I mean that's all true but part of Santa's character is being good natured, loving and forgiving. Jack was clearly remorseful and apologetic about what he did so he should have cut him some slack and recognize the good intentions

    Rise of the guardians is based off a young adult book series. It’s a very good series. Has 4 books and gives a backstory to each character. The movie, though different from the book and missed out some of my favourite bits, it did so well at capturing the magic and wonder of the books. Though North is the book…. 🥰

    One thing I always liked about Santa from "Olive the Other Reindeer" (totally underrated special by the way) is that after all the presents have been delivered, he saves some presents for his staff and crew. That's really thoughtful, and you don't see many Santa's acknowledge the elves like that!
    It also leads to one of the elves dropping what I think is the funniest line in the special:
    "Uh, boss, from an insurance point of view, the jump ropes, probably not a wise idea."

    I haven't got to the point yet but a fun fact about the SCiCtT Kris Kringle and the YWaSC Santa: in Rankin/Bass canon they are the same guy. Mickey Rooney voices both and because of that it connects the two movies. It also connects them with using the same Santa puppets (and Mickey Rooney voicing again) and in not mentioned film Rudolph and Frosty Christmas in July which combines Rudolph Shiny New Year, Frosty Winter Wonderland (not the first frosty, Paul Frees voiced that santa), and the two others mentioned along with some non christmas R/B films
    The first Rudolph isn't considered canon because that north pole is never shown or are the characters brought back

      @lavender_fields ปีที่แล้ว +9

      YES. I watched every single episode and movie at least 2-3 times and I also think they did help Scott improve in my opinion. There’s so much more to unpack in the rest of the series than just the first movie, which is pretty cool.

    oh my god i'm so sad you didn't get to Arthur Christmas Santa because there's technically like. 3?? This movie's genuinely one of my favorite christmas movies because of how it plays with the character of Santa, where it's not just one guy but it's a role that's passed down from father to son. The Mrs.Claus in this movie is also so cute and iconic and I love her. They're all british but I think they'd deserve a pass because it works and the film was made by Aardman (yeah, the Wallace and Gromit guys!).
    the elves in this movie are also cool as shit?? like. they're kinda like military spies that use cool tech and acrobatics to deliver the toys, the opening gift delivery scene is sick as hell i really need you to see it.

    If you’re going over Dora the Explorer, I have a theory that may not fully be just a theory. Dora has multiple different timelines(or universes?). There’s at least one branch of that I can bring up, the Christmas special where Swiper swipes Christmas, because if he keeps Swiping or not creates two different outcomes.
    •Swiper swiping Christmas- Dora and the gang get time traveled to the future where Swiper never stops swiping Christmas and Dora still lives in the forest, she is older and taller than the 7-8 year old Dora that we follow
    •Swiper fixes Christmas- After seeing the future of misery that comes with swiping Christmas, Swiper fixes his actions and Christmas is back on and everything is happy, but assuming the Dora and Friends into the city series is a direct cannon aftermath to the series and not another separate timeline from the main one, Dora’s family moves to the city and when we see an older Dora she’s away from the friends that she’s known since they were all toddlers.
    This is assuming that Swiper getting on the nice list does not just rewrite the future that Dora and the gang visited, but instead creates a new timeline. Some reboots could be considered possible alternative timelines as well if we want to address them.
    Anyways I hope you have a great day, and thank you if you read this

    In my opinion, the best Santa is the one from the 1990s miracle on 34th street. He’s so sweet and kind to everyone. He then basically gets accused of being a pedophile by the person he replaced, attacks him, the whole things a setup, and it ends in a court case on whether Santa Claus is real. The entire time he’s so innocent, and all he wants to do is bring joy, he doesn’t want to shill anything, he was only getting paid cus he had to, and he went against the company to tell parents where to get cheaper deals on presents so the kids would be happy. It ended up working in his favour, because then they used it as a marketing campaign and more people went to the store…but it’s clear he never cared about that. He never cared about the corporate side of Christmas, and just wanted to spread joy. Even in court he had a smile on his face, as he spoke to kids who believed he was Santa. I mean cmon, there was the sign language scene with the little girl who was deaf and just wanted to see Santa, not expecting him to know how to communicate…then they signed Jingle Bells together.

    I can’t decide if you’d love or dislike the Santa from Rankin Bass’ adaptation of The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. On the one hand he is a dilf with two mothers and learned his laugh from listening to the music of the frozen valley where he lives--on the other hand he’s probably the least magic santa. All his powers and feats are from his connections and networking with to a series of pagan deities. but the reason they help him and bestow these powers is because they admire him so much. it’s like his love and caring made him worthy of their blessings. Like this Santa is literally beloved by the world itself.

    Athena, I am grabbing you and shaking you right now. You NEED to watch Snow Buddies. The Air Bud cinematic universe is CRAZY and this movie is nuts in the weirdest way. Shasta’s age implies SO much about a major plot point in the movie and accentuates how big of an asshole one character is. Puppies just running around Willy Nilly, the one Russian character, PUPPIES DROPPED FROM A PLANE IN AN ICE BOX. The real villain of the movie is an old guy who can’t use a computer, and somehow this one police officer guy can contact every single other police officer JUST WITH PUPPY EMERGENCIES. I got this movie on dvd for Christmas in 2008 and rewatching it while feverish has made me look at the Buddies universe in a way I’ve never seen it before. Also in one of the movies they go to space.
