That scene where Scott and his son Charlie arrive at the North Pole for the first time and their sitting out in the snow is my favorite scene in the entire series. Loreena McKennitt begins to softly play in the background, singing The Bells of Christmas and a single elf kid walks out onto he scene and quietly grants them access to The North Pole, and the music kicks up. My god, I could watch that scene forever.
I think the wonder and effort put into the North Pole really won me over in this movie. Did they make the best use of Tim Allen? No. Is the story overdone? Yes. But it just feels so damn Christmasey I can't hate it, and the sheer work put into those sets is something to behold.
In Hansel and Gretel, why don't woodland animals eat the bread crumbs? Why don't Cinderella's slippers shatter, and why is the only thing the Prince remembers about her her shoe size? How come Red Riding Hood is still alive in a wolf's stomach after it's presumably torn her to pieces?
tim allen is still my favorite movie santa claus, that was a tear jerker when he had to leave charlie to deliver presents, wish we could have seen more than just the town and the north pole
I like this movie. I grew up only ever seeing the second one. So, for me to see the backstory of it is very interesting. Also I've always had the biggest crush on Bernard since I was little. :P
I always believed Santa did not die, he merely wanted to quit being Santa and felt his time was up so he "chose" Scott Calvin because he knew he was the person not only most in need but worthy of the job and Santa gets to live out his life normally. Presents also just appearing by Santa in a movie is explained imo that it rewrites the memory and/or history of adults that they did get them that broken bell or doll, it's a way Santa can continue to give presents without any accolade needed, it's selflessness in order to not be hunted down by governments and super criminals, but Santa is a omega level brick he can kick anyone's ass.
+Calebite Or better still, explain how the people who don't think he exists can see the presents under the tree that they obviously didn't put there, and not wonder how they got there!
+Kaybee That's a great movie really it is I put it as number 4 on my top ten Christmas Special List it doesn't make a lot of senses but the characters are fun the songs are good it's just a happy film
Probably the biggest laugh I got from this movie was from the teaser trailer. Just the idea of Tim the Toolman saving Christmas makes you play a mini-movie in your head.
I’ve watched at least 500 nostalgia critic videos in the last few months and was surprised to find I was never subscribed! TH-cam keeps suggesting them I assumed I was. Happy there are SO MANY OF THESE
Gotta say, I used to watch this all the time as a kid, and now I appreciate it even more as a father. I think it's a charming and well made film, flaws and all.
@The Dovahkiin, did you miss the part where he said, "But, now I don't care. I think it was a neat idea"? I find it ironic how you're so offended over him being offended but then changing his mind and deciding he's not offended.
Wouldn’t have been interesting if in the second film Curtis was the villain and he was friends with the other Santa so making the plastic clone could be a revenge story. Just add that to a fanscription 😂
I personally think this movie is a Christmas classic but that may be because I watched it on repeat as a kid and I watch it every year to get into the Christmas spirit.
Why are so many people mad at him for being slightly offended that little people weren't considered for the elves? Someone here commented they wanted to punch him in the face for that, what the hell!?
He talked about this when he did his editorial on whitewashing, where movies like Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit partake in "heightwashing", (his words) by having taller actors play dwarves and hobbits, instead of giving those jobs to little people. And it curious why that decision was w made.
The "I stopped believing because he didn't give me the exact thing I want" thing REALLY pissed me off as a kid, and I haven't got over that since. Tim Allen is good though.
The 1985 film as a whole? Yes. But the first half of the film where we get the origin story of Santa as well as his building a camaraderie with the elves? I don't know, it's a toss-up. I really love that first half before we get to the whole candy cane plot, but I also enjoy The Santa Clause as long as it deals with the North Pole stuff or his relationship with Charlie.
My main problem with the film is the mom and the step dad when Charlie starts believing in Santa Clause and stuff like that the parents become so worried and they even take him to a psychologist and were taking away custody from Allen. The mom and step dad don't believe in Santa just because they didn't get what they wanted when they were little and yeah I get that but then they are telling a kid who is under 10 that Santa isn't real like what parent does that. You can say well he did say his dad is Santa and that is why but even before Santa fell off the roof the mom makes a comment about it.
@@tristanhartup4936 Just referencing the joke from the movie, Neil keeps calling himself a doctor and Scott belittles him by saying he’s just a psychiatrist.
Something I don't get about a lot of Christmas movies is that the adults don't believe Santa's real, yet they never question all the presents their kids get that they didn't buy them.
I usually don't question something that someone takes the time to do, but... a constructive criticism is but as close as it stays to a lot of movies it diverges on certain ways that a lot of movie reviewers gloss over. Yes, its derivative and mundane, but its not your typical Santa Clause movie. Where the magic starts flat builds with flashes and flare as the magic goes from dream to realistic and empowering mirroring Tim Allen's transformation. If this would have been written by others or even with a different lead say Tom Hanks or a Will Ferrel the comedy styling and whimsy wouldn't have grown with the main character they had to grow into the magic. This rugged to Santa transformation is nice. Yet the biggest thing that they did with no plans for a sequel was to actually not have Scott and his ex-wife not get back together at the end. For a Norm McDonalds character to not be the super serious, stern unbeliever that gets his in the end. Neil is a fun play on the usual troupe that lends dry humor based on his dry attitude.
I love this movie. I think Tim Allen is great in this movie and is funny and delightfully heartwarming at times. It's a Christmas movie that I must watch every winter. It's so delightful and it's a Christmas classic.
i love this movie i truly think that if Santa's North Pole existed, this is how it would be to me, it's pretty realistic. not too crazy like most kids christmas movies
I barely remember the plot of these but I think it's safe to say this is my favourite North Pole and favourite elves. Just seems magical and playful. Seems weird that it would be controversial for not giving little people actors more roles, but really these shouldn't be the only roles available to little people in the first place.
I always liked this movie as a kid, but it bothered me that the adults didn't believe in a Santa who brought presents every year. I remember even asking my mom where the parents in this movie thought the presents came from, and she kind of dodged the question because there isn't a good answer. It's still kind of annoying to me that the film never tried to explain that logical hole.
Neils a great cook Yea you should see him walk on water Just rewatched this film for the first time and years and never noticed that line. It made me crack.up
The children did not take jobs away from little people because the roles were written for children. Children do have an innocence that most adults don't have. These children hit that innocence perfectly. Like the breathless, disbelieving gasps that they gave when Scott said there was no such thing as Santa Claus - right there in his own workshop. Also, elves have been done plenty of times. It was nice to see a different take on it. Think of it this way, when Judy had told Scott she was seeing somebody in wrapping, the felt was a lot different (like more creepy) with her being played by a child than with her being played by a little person, right? Also, I LOVE the irony of Bernard, the head Christmas elf, being played by a Jew! That was something I missed as a teen, I wish I hadn't because then I could have laugh and enjoyed that bit of irony, too.
Love this movie! Hate the sequels, well hate 2, eh with 3. The 3rd one was somewhat better and had an interesting concept. Going back to the past, and gives us the perspective that Scott Calvin a.k.a Santa, does not listen to his son and doesn't put the suit on, and gives us a new timeline. I have to say very good one, somewhat.
Personally, I think the story is kind of a timeless classic. Not in that this rendition is a timeless classic, but in that the story itself is set up as a timeless classic. It explains a lot of the decisions to me - Disney was attempting to create a modern day christmas tale to be put up there with Rudolph, Frosty, etc. Did they succeed? Eh, I like it myself, but until we see remakes and retellings and versions that simplify it to the core and so on, I would not say they succeeded
I actually really liked the original Santa Clause movie since i was little, and even though i mostly agree with doug's take, i still really like it. I like that its not too comedic, because as a kid it made me feel like there was a way santa could really be real, even when i knew he wasnt. I think the film would work better as more of a lilo and stitch thing. if tim was a single dad and charlie was being taken away for his dad seeming to let himself go and falling into delusion. i mean, him trying to connect harder makes sense since he has limited custody or whatever, but him going out of his way to convince people hes real and enforcing the magic aspect is what i think makes people cringe about it. There are a lot of good moments in this film, especially when he's transitioning into santa, but it really is pretty predictable after that :/
The movie does have its charm in places but the problem I have with it is the kid Charlie. I just found him so annoying. When his dad takes over as Santa, what does Charlie do? He starts blabbing to everyone that his dad is Santa. Everytime he opens his trap, I just wish he would shut the hell up. The way I see it, it's his fault that his dad had his custodial rights taken off him. Not only is Charlie a blabbermouth, he gets pretty selfish as well as he wants to be with his dad/Santa all the time without giving a crap of what his mum thinks. When he finally decides to not be selfish and let his dad/Santa go and do his job, he goes back to being selfish 10 mins later. What an annoying brat.
This movie had a bit of potential, but man, that whole (way over done and too long) section of not believing him and him having to prove otherwise was SUCH a pain. It could of otherwise been a halfway decent film if not for that.
The kid is the problem. He was the one who was all trying to get people to believe him. Other than that, it's a fair good Christmas film. It's the way the story is told, not the fact it's repeated. History's repeated, after all.
I really loved this movie as a kid, but in my country the name is translated and changed to"Mutta mitä tapahtui joulupukille" which means "But What Happen to The Santa Claus"; so I thought long that was really the name of the movie and couldn't find it anywhere xD
the only thing that really surprised me about this movie is that, well given how obvious the story beats were, i was expecting that scene where the dad lies to the kid to spare his feelings aka split them apart before the final act, so when that didn’t happen i was pleasantly surprised but apart from that it’s just flavorless
Tim Allen is a funny actor with his show Home Improvement and Toy Story. I really liked this movie as a kid. I didn't really care for the third movie all too much because I don't really like the alternate timeline deal where no one remembers you, I prefer alternate timelines where the good characters are evil and the bad characters are good. I also like alternate timelines where it's more of a what if scenario like the Ben 10 episode Gwen 10. The only character I didn't like was that boss elf guy, he seemed like a douche to me then and now.
i just thought the elves themselves were what made the movie in each of the movies, just seemed like they were the fun characters, like the Minions in Despicable Me
+ilcool90 Goddamn that pissed me off. I love Nostalgia Critic and have watched almost every video (a few always seem to be hiding) but this was the single most dreadful line ever. Makes me want to punch Doug in his face and i'm not even a violent person.
What makes me laugh is the fact that this movie deals with some dark and serious stuff and then the other 2 are just generic asf Christmas movies, that’s also why it’s the only decent one in the trilogy in my eyes 😂
That scene where Scott and his son Charlie arrive at the North Pole for the first time and their sitting out in the snow is my favorite scene in the entire series. Loreena McKennitt begins to softly play in the background, singing The Bells of Christmas and a single elf kid walks out onto he scene and quietly grants them access to The North Pole, and the music kicks up.

Well, if you want to see more of Bernard, the actor playing him is the lead in Numb3rs.
He also had a wonderful guest role on _Freaks and Geeks._
I love this movie. I grew up with it. So I'm biased.

just makes me feel like a kid again! 😊👍

I also hate Ludacris for similar reasons.
What makes me laugh is the fact that this movie deals with some dark and serious stuff and then the other 2 are just generic asf Christmas movies, that’s also why it’s the only decent one in the trilogy in my eyes 😂
I watched this movie this morning for the first time in a few years. I forgot how corny some parts were.
I prefer the 2nd one, to be honest.
Never was this early
It’s Hilarious!!!
