The moral of the movie is that if you kill Santa Clause then you become Santa. No questions asked. Kinda weird that the elves didn't have any remorse for the previous Santa.

[@LilyZerep]

🤔My biggest question is what happens to Mrs. Claus when her husband dies and some new guy comes in? I mean do the elves kick her out on the snow? Does she get transported back to where she lived before? Or maybe the elves just don't give any hoots about her since they don't show any emotion about loosing their Santa 🤷‍♀️

It also was not really graphic enough to totally scar him. He fell into snow and went to sleep. Doesn't mean he is immune to lose though, once he is older and experiences loss of a close/loved one it will (hopefully) hit him. Some folks may never get a momento Mori until their parents die

It made me mad that his ex wife just followed what Neil said blindly. She didn’t want to take full custody, Neil did.

I’m by no means saying Scott is the greatest dad ever and that Neil is the only reason why Scott and his ex wife don’t have a good relationship nor does he have a good one with Charlie, but I do think he contributes to it.

Because like you said, the wife didn't even initially want to ask for full custody. . .it was Neil who pressed on the matter. . .He butted in on something he had no legal right to participate in-the custody was between Scott and the wife-not him, and it's even alarming because once the divorce lawyer realizes Neil is a psychiatrist, he offers Neil to share his input like Neil's input is completely valid and appropriate in this situation. . .Despite that it's at least a massive conflict of interest-Scott is not even a patient of his, Scott is his wife's ex, and he and Scott don't even like each other. . .What else was Neil going to say anyway besides that Scott, the man he doesn't even like, is mentally unstable and Charlie is better off without him?

I guess someone told you before that he doesn't exist which made you really think about it. Otherwise you would've thought that witches are real and Hobbits are real and Darth Vader is an historical figure, because why would people in movies believe in it if it wasn't real? For me, my older brother told me when I was tiny.

Scott becoming Santa was never Scott's own choice. Scott never had any choice in the matter. It was Kevin who forced and manipulated him into making him put on the suit in the first place. . .It was Charlie who forced the matter on him to where Scott only put on the suit in order to make him happy. . .And even though Scott eventually accepted that he became the new Santa (not that he had a lot of the choice in the matter. .. ), it's the fact that Scott's own son forced him to put on the suit and Scott only did it to make his son happy. . .And Scott is now an immortal who is forced to forever live in the North Pole, spending the entire year preparing and shipping presents to BILLIONS of kids around the world. . .something he didn't give consent to in the first place. . .He had no say in such a life-altering and earthshattering "identity crisis" and it was brought entirely on by his son, who was being a selfish prick and guilt-tripped Scott into putting on a suit he didn't even want to wear. . . And of course, the sequels gloss this over-while Scott would do everything in his power to make sure he stayed in Charlie's life-given that Scott is. . .only Santa and in charge of EVERY present over the ENTIRE world. . .he most likely wouldn't have been able to spend as much time with Charlie as he wanted. . .because Scott's got a million other things he's forced to do. .But I guess it's okay after all because he's basically god-like or whatever. . .As bad as The Santa Clause 2 is and I absolutely HATED even the idea that Scott was forced to get married to even stay as Santa Clause (so. .. they're forcing someone else to perform this enormous sacrifice or else, every kid in the world is going to have a lousy Christmas. . .no pressure or anything. . .), I do like the idea at least that Scott finally had a CHOICE in the matter. That he had a way out of being Santa if he didn't want to anymore but he still decided he wanted to keep being Santa. . . And that was something that needed to be there in this first movie. Have it to where instead of dying, Santa does get critically injured and the clause is still instated when Scott puts on the suit. . .And Santa is actually happy because he doesn't want to be Santa anymore. . .Have it to where instead of forcing this on him, Bernard and the elves instead tell Scott he can think about it for a year and they'll find someone else who does want to be Santa Clause. Scott can have a "trial run" in the meantime but if he absolutely hates it, they will find someone else who wants to be Santa. He doesn't HAVE to. . .And Scott, through more of his own choice, discovers the pure joy of making kids happy like this, and he decides he does want to be Santa after all. You can even still have it where the adults think he's crazy. . .You don't have to change much-it just would leave Scott in more of a state to give actual consent in wanting to be Santa. . .

I had an idea for a Christmas story where a man becomes a mall Santa, but in fact he becomes part of a secret organization of Santas all around the world. This organization works for the elves of the North Pole and delivers gifts in their own sector. The mall Santa thing is simply a cover up.

The reason this movie is great is that both adults and kids could watch it. Which is basically the goal of all kid animations (shrek i.e.), the adult humor to get the parents through it, and the rest for the kiddos. Such a solid flick

[@lamontyaboy718]

My Missus really LIKES it when I dress up like Santa and give her a "present" on Christmas Eve. I'll stop there, before I get to the part about the "North Pole."

[@TitanicTruths]

Ive actually theorized the logistics of Santa. Technically he would actually have 2 days to do it. Given the international dateline, if he left on 24 west of the dateline, it would be the 23 east of the line. Leaving approximately 10pm, and following a north/south route, it would be far more organized. Not everyone celebrates Christmas, and the planet is mostly ocean. So accounting for all that, and allowing him to simply skip over those areas. Adding in multiple stops at the north pole to restock the sleigh for each leg of the trip, he could theoretically make it. Ending early morning the 25th on the east side of the line, 2 days after taking off. Santa could complete the trip.

It isn't just in this series, or even just in the nineties.

Santa always regretted not being able to give that mean old grouch that shotgun when he was five, the crazy cat lady her EZ Bake oven when she was six, and he finally delivers them at the end of the movie, when all the Christmas Spirit has been restored in town.

Just watched this movie for the first time in quite a few years. My favorite detail that I never noticed before was that the Santa "Clause" has a stipulation towards the end along the lines of "...and can be removed from his duties either by accident OR DESIGN." Or design!? Is that insinuating that the Elves can just suddenly decide to take Santa out in order to get a replacement? Scott even briefly reacts to this by asking "What does that mean!?"

Its a story about what it means to believe in what you can't see, and the virtue of doing so. By the film's end, Scott's family is finally whole, as being Santa has made him far less selfish...and his new behavior has also impacted those around him for the better. He has a new purpose for his life in helping others before himself, and his son begins learning the same lessons. Unfortunately, while this film is very good, the sequels weren't...especially the third which was basically "The Martin Short Show".

I share your annoyance at that ragged trope, but actually not knowing how to cook is kind of a thing, and always was, the trope of the newlywed bride and her inedible cooking is far hoarier than 'inept dad'. Cookery is a skill set vastly more than intricate than reading a list and setting a timer. I have been learning for over half a century and I am still learning. Last night I learned the technique for Cantonese scrambled eggs and can't believe I haven't made them like that all my life! You're right, it's not 'rocket surgery'. It's not a shell game by the Nazis who *didn't* have to retire to South America, it's chemistry, physics, craft, and art, it's practical science anyone can learn, and few bother (not as few as those who bother to grow, rear, hunt, fish, or forage food themselves- how useless most of society became!)

Personally I perfer that one. I think it's a nice little movie, the only thing I dont like about it is how charlie is suddenly just some angry teen and that fucking reindeer.

@@folklore_of_beth Since Santa Tim falling in love with a 20-something while his obviously-over-it co-starts are obviously over it and can't believe he's having a baby (yeah, he gets married and has a baby), and some girl thawing Jack Frost's heart with her arm hug (I'm not kidding...that's the resolution to the big story problem, aside from it existing) just wasn't enough, there's been talk about a Santa Clause 4....

[@em7169]

What I don’t understand is how the adults don’t believe in Santa. So presents (which the parents know they themselves didnt buy) just magically appear under the tree and they still don’t think there’s a Santa?? Who do they think is providing these mysterious extra presents every single year?!?

I figured it out when I found a pic i drew for Santa in my moms room later that summer and left her with the dilemma of, "IS SANTA NOT REAL OR ARE YOU A THIEF?!?!"

[@Gamegobazooka]

Michael Scott I figured it out because when i was in 4-5th grade i really liked riddles, so one day my mom downloaded me 4 cheesy riddle apps. They were all bad, but one of them had the riddle: An old woman, santa, and the perfect man are in front of a 10 dollar bill. Who gets it? Answer: The old woman since santa and the perfect man don't exist. Basically at that moment i had an existential crisis. not why i was lied to about santa, but why they made that app which was obviously made for kids in the first place.

[@ducklingscap897]

Jacker Jacks 4-5th grade? How did you manage to believe in Santa for such a long time? Did your classmates destroy that earlier?

[@karenhall4645]

So just because Santa decided not to give them one of the things they asked for, they stopped believing? Doesn't seem like their belief was too strong to begin with. And a 3 year old is barely old enough to understand the whole concept anyway.

[@paradoxzee6834]

I dislike that trope, just because as a kid you never got the hottest toy you start to hate Christmas, like gee I than me and most my friends need to be the biggest Christmas hater in the world because we never got the hottest toys of the year.

That's what makes Tim Allen Tim Allen. Hes Tim allen. Hes never anyone else. And it's great.

[@agonleed3841]

Truthpi learned he smuggled cocaine..then after arrested and obviously snitching...he got into acting..of course he has a signature move we all love lol Plus every man should be a manly man who also learns to accept life

When I see Tim Allen I expect him to act like Tim Allen, its fitting and perfect as it is. Its like... what's his name... Jason Stathem, he's the same character in every movie too. And its fine for him and Tim.

Raven W At least to me Adam Sandler seems like different characters in some movies Whereas Tim Allen is just Tim Allen.

Raven W Agreed. Nerdy and or weird 20-40 year old man falls in love with bland hot chick, bully and or antagonist tries to stop them getting together or just the 20-40 year old. 20-40 year old gets together with bland hot chick anyway. End of movie. Rinse and repeat for 20 years.

2 movies where Tim Allen is somewhat different in terms of character are Joe Somebody Galaxy Quest
