Santa Claus - The Movie (DVD)

The tale and legend of Santa Claus is one that sits withe everyone both young and old as a wonderful feeling around Christmas. The notion of a large old man with a huge beard, hearty laugh, red and white costume and herd of reindeer pulling a sleigh through the air to give kid their presents on Christmas Eve is magical, and has spawned many films telling stories of old Saint Nick. This offering, Santa Claus The Movie, was released in 1985, and focuses just as much on the travels of one of Santa's elves as much as Santa himself. It is a film that was true to my heart as a child when it was released, and still is now. I watched it this Christmas just gone with ...  Read the complete review

I KNOW THIS IS UNDER THE WRONG PRODUCT. I HAVE EMAILED THE DOOYOO TEAM TO HAVE IT REMOVED. I am a massive film fan, and I absolutely adore going into one of the local cinemas to catch up on the latest films! Last year, my friend and I went in to see the Christmas film of 2006 (Santa Clause 3) on the 1st of December, to get us into the festive spirit. This year, we decided to carry on this new tradition, so we checked up on the latest films, and one in particular caught our attention; Fred Claus! It seemed like the perfect Christmas film for us to see, and the trailer we watched for it made it out to be very comic and amusing. So it was decided; at ...  Read the complete review

~~~Santa Claus: The Movie~~~ If you want to get in the mood for Christmas, whatever your age I definitely recommend this film as personally I think it is the best Christmas film I have ever seen. I love it so much that I have watched it every year at Christmas since it was released in 1985 (when I was 7). What I really love about this film is that it captures everything I had ever imagined about Santa Claus and his mysterious job of delivering presents to all of the good boys and girls across the world on Christmas Eve. The film starts off explaining how Santa came to be and introduces you to his loyal friends and colleagues, including the ...  Read the complete review

At one time this was my favourite film ever, let alone my favourite Christmas film. My dad had took me and my younger brother to the pictures to watch this and it has had a resounding and lasting effect on me. The film I will now review is "Santa Claus - the movie". Many, many years ago, when I was a child, the biggest luxury that was bestowed upon us by our father was a trip to the cinema, the fact that my parents didn't have a great amount of funds available to them at the time never stopped them from making every activity we undertook into an adventure, Christmas was always the biggest adventure of them all! One of the many ...  Read the complete review
