My best childhood memory!

I can not remember what age I was when I first seen this movie. But I do remember that it used to be played on Irish TV every year on Christmas eve.My best memory from childhood was sitting by the coal fire to let my hair dry and watching this movie.

My favorite part was always when Joe shouts Yo and the raindeer take flight! It still makes me shiver.

I am now 24 and only wish I could get it on DVD here in the UK so I could play it on a regional 2 player. I have a baby on the way and I would love someday for my children to enjoy the wonder of Santa Claus the movie as I did all those years ago.

This film gave me a lot of happy Christmas' Dx

A Nice Holiday Memory!

This has been a holiday memory of mine since I was a little girl. Even now, at 23 years old, I simply love this movie. I'm shocked when I hear of someone that doesn't enjoy this unique and sweet story. I learned about friendship, the holidays, giving, sharing and not being afraid to go for your dreams. If those aren't the kind of lessons we want our youngsters to learn, I don't know what are...

I dont understand the low ratings

I first saw this movie when I was 6 or 7. I have been in love with the movie ever since then. I think it is a great movie. So its not just for kids, do all X-Mas movies have to be for kids? I dont understand why everyone had such problems with it. It was funny, and added a twist others didnt. I was attracted to the car Dudley Moore created. I just think it was great.

Who could hate this.

It is just plain silly to hate any Hollywood attempt to entertain children in a manner that is wholesome without resorting to bad language or sexual innuendo designed to keep the adults happy. I thought this movie delightful, if nothing else for its creative approach for telling the story of Santa Claus. With as many cynical, inappropriate movies for children, I applaud a movie which enriches a true sense of Christmas and all of its folklore.

Something to be proud of

I played one of the elves in the movie. When Santa & Anya are shown the Elf Village for the first time & watch all the toy-making, Patch (the late Dudley More) & a small group of "elf musicians" are seen "playing" the music. Watch out for me at the top of an "elvish double-bass". The movie was available on DVD in the UK & I purchased a copy, having not seen it since it's release. I think it's a lovely Christmas film that deserved greater critical acclaim than it received. I'm glad to see that it is now becoming something of a cult movie, which should ensure it's existence for many years to come. Having viewed the movie this year (2016), I feel proud to have made a small contribution to a film that tells a timeless story with considerable integrity. David Huddleston who passed away recently was the perfect casting for Santa Claus.

Quotes
Ancient Elf: The Prophecy has come to pass, that there would come to us a Chosen One, and that he, having no child of his own, would love all children everywhere, and that he himself would be an artisan, and a craftsman, and a skilled maker of toys.
[to Santa]
Ancient Elf: And now, Chosen One, come forward. From this day on, now and forever, you will bring all our gifts to all the children in all the world, and all this to be done on Christmas Eve.
Santa Claus: How can I do so much in just one night?
Ancient Elf: Oh, yes, well know this: time travels with you. The night of the world is a passage of endless night for you, until your mission is done. This is your legacy, and your gift... as is the gift of flight. Now, all those within the sound of my voice, and all those on this Earth everywhere know that henceforth, you will be called Santa Claus. And now, everyone, Merry Christmas.
