 |  | "I want to live at the North Pole" |  |
If the North Pole was anything like it is portrayed in this movie, I want to live there. The scene when Mrs. Claus had to choose green or red for the first Santa suit was awesome. He put that red coat on and you could almost hear a choir singing! And when the reindeer and sleigh took off for the first flight it was breathtaking. Five big stars for this movie. It is my favorite Christmas movie now. I have even bought it for friends so they could get as excited watching it for the first time as I did.
August 24, 2008I haven't seen this film in such pristine glory since it's initial release in 1985 while I was stationed in England as a 21 year old Air Force airman, and it took me back to that simpler time in my life. The effects hold up very well in this new DVD (unlike previous video and television versions which looked like they were recorded straight from a TV monitor), especially the full shots of the sleigh team in flight. The only (minor) problem I had was with the film's continuity during one scene: during the chase to the North Pole, the six reindeer are at an incredible speed cutting thru the sky, but when Santa stands up in the sleigh shouting encouragement to his team, his loose-hanging coat DOES NOT flap in the wind--AT ALL!!! That has always bothered me; maybe they can do a Director's Cut sometime and fix that! LOL. In any case, the movie overall will stand as a Christmas classic, or just a feel-good injection whenever I need a pick-me-up!
June 16, 2008Still a great movie. Not as great as I remember, but Dudley Moore is great in it. Makes a nice change from the stuff normally on tv at Christmas.
January 20, 2008I ordered this movie because it was one of my favorites growing up and I wanted my son to see it! He loved it, just as I did when I was a little girl! The enhancements were wonderful!

I remember watching this movie when I was a little girl after it first came out. It was and always will be my favorite Christmas movie. There's just something about it that takes you back to when you were a child. This is the way children should think Santa Claus lived. It's perfect!
