Disney’s The Santa Clause
The Holiday Season is upon us and this December the Midwest Theater is celebrating with our Very, Merry, Midwest Christmas! Join us all month for a range of movies destined to put you in the Christmas spirit!
The Walt Disney Christmas classic adds a new spin to the legend of Santa Claus when Scott Calvin discovers – The Santa Clause!
Scott Calvin (Tim Allen) is a self-absorbed, wise-cracking toy salesman and divorcee who has his son with him for Christmas. When they hear something on the rooftop, they go outside to look. Only to see Santa Claus trying to deliver presents. Scott startles him and Santa ends sliding off Scott’s roof. His son Charlie is with him and convinces him to put on Santa’s coat after he disappears. Scott and Charlie finish delivering presents and then are whisked to the North Pole, where the head elf Benard (David Krumholtz) informs him of the Santa Clause. The small print that says whoever puts on the coat is now Santa Claus.
Back at home, Scott thinks it’s all a bad dream but once he starts magically putting on weight and growing a long white beard he finds that he can’t escape this new contract. He goes through a lot but finally accepts it. Now how does he convince his unbelieving ex-wife and new husband that Charlie is telling the truth about him being Santa Claus?
