The animation is incredible: the facial expressions, the body movement, the play of light, the attention to detail takes your breath away. Add to this a superb soundtrack, and you realise why it got such good critical reviews.

It is a traditional story, but has been told without so much of that awful syrup and candy so beloved by Disney and, I regret to say, Pixar. The mock 'reality program' slant was inspirational, as was the cutting forward to dialogue that explained events in the past. Sorry folks, you have to pay attention to this film. You are not spoon fed the story like Disney and Pixar do. You require some brains to follow the story line.

As for the negative comments on the film's dialogue and 'commentaries', ... Read More:

I've previously bought the first(on video) and second of these films, and have just sat down to buy the box set , and felt I had to respond to the previous review.

I think the first film 'explains' christmas in such a modern way; it has certainly helped me answer some awkward questions over the years!! Yes, it is a slushy christmas film, just what a lot of us want at this time of year! The second film, my kids actually prefer because of the 'bad' santa, and last christmas we loved the third at the pictures and couldnt wait for it to be released.

Obviously each film is about Santa, and how it affects his family, etc around him. But each one is so uniquely different in its main story line, but because most of the actors filmed ... Read More:

Watched this on a rainy Sunday afternoon with my six year old. Next rainy Sunday afternoon I might watch something a bit more upbeat. Schindlers List perhaps!

I honestly wasn't expecting much out of this. So I was very suprised when I loved it from start to finish! It has everything we have come to expect of a classic Disney film.. a strong hero/heroine, a hilarious sidekick character, a great soundtrack and a beautiful display of animation. Yes, it really is a great film, with a powerful story and some great characters. Highly recommended.

I didn't really want to buy this DVD only its incredibly hard trying to explain to a 2 year old that HIS friends tigger and pooh (or tiddler pooh as it is known in our house due to limited vocabulary) aren't on tv 24 hours a day just waiting for him to tune in.
Unlike a previous reviewer I knew exactly what to expect and that it was from the new disney series but I think if you forget that it has anything to do with the original books and drawings and take it on its own merit it is a lovely and very engaging series, which is ideal for toddlers.

This film has a very similar feel to the first movie. It moves at a similar pace and the story is just as mediocre. Its not a bad film by any stretch of the imagination, in fact, when in a certain mood I can happily watch this movie and enjoy it. However, just like the first film, it is nothing special but just about keeps you interested enough to watch the next installment. I like fantasy and escapism movies and although this is not as good as the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy or as funny as 'stardust' ... it is still better than others such as the terrible Eragorn.

If you like the first film, even just a little, you should like this aswell. Slightly above average movie.

Ever wonder, who is Santa Claus, really? Where does he come from, how old is he? How in the world does he squeeze down a chimney, and how does he get in if there isn't a chimney? What's the deal here? Well, happily, the answers to these questions and more are finally answered, as the legend of Santa Claus comes to life as never before in `The Santa Clause,' directed by John Pasquin and starring Tim Allen. Scott Calvin (Allen) is an executive with a toy manufacturing company, he's divorced and has a young son, Charlie (Eric Lloyd), who still believes in Santa, but is at an age at which doubt is beginning to creep into the picture. And the fact that Charlie's mom, Laura (Wendy Crewson) has a boyfriend, Dr. Neal Miller (Judge Reinhold), who is a psychiatrist, isn't helping the situation any. ... Read More:

This is a film that is simply a great story well told. The effects are amazing and it contains some big names doing the voices of the animals, but it is something that people of all ages will enjoy for a whole multitude of reasons. You will definitely enjoy it.
