Nice film, I found enough enjoyment with it.
Probably not as deep or creative as it could've been, but I do like the plot of <em>'Santa Claus: The Movie'</em> as it starts off at the embryonic stages of Santa. It ends up turning into a run-of-the-mill good v. bad thing, but that cause is helped by the casting of John Lithgow - who is entertaining.
Lithgow isn't the only positive cast, as Dudley Moore and David Huddleston do solid things too…

I didn't love the start of this film. There's this local carpenter who crafts intricately sculpted little toys for kids at Christmas but makes his poor reindeers - "Donner" and "Blitzen" race through the most atrocious snow storm so he (David Huddleston) and his kindly wife (Judy Cornwell) can deliver them! Anyway, that weather overwhelms them and things look distinctly hypothermic until a great star arrives in the heavens and next thing they are… read the rest.
