Just watched this on T.V. last night -- I didn't remember this one all that well from my childhood years.
So basically Santa became Santa because he was a revolutionary leader who had to go into hiding. O.k. who knew? He gets kudos from me for bagging Mrs. Claus though, who was exceptionally hot when younger, like a cross between Marian the Librarian and a brothel madame.
I probably enjoyed the character of Meisterburger Burgermeister the most, who declares a moratorium on toys and jails any offenders. Keenan Wynn also does nice work as the voice of the Winter Warlock, who requests that people just call him Winter after he gives up his warlock ways.
The nostalgia attached to these films are always going to make them special in a way that today's state-of-the-art animation will never match. Do you think any kids today have the patience for these creaky movies? I hope so....
Grade: B+
