0:40-0:52 "We're not here to prove that God exists, but we are here to prove that someone just as invisible and just as present exists" I loved this scene so much

[@mastercatastrophe]

That would also be Jesus Christ :)

this is still my favorite part of the movie. "In GOD We Trust". its on every bill and coin. seeing isn't believing. believing is seeing. kids don't have to see a workshop to know that its there. they just know. polar express and santa clause and of course miracle of 34th street. its all about believing with the innocence of the child inside us.

Honest to God... no pun intended... this version just had a better ending than the original. Hands down. It just did.

[@charlieandthechocfactrules9186]

The original film was better overall but I do agree this climax to the trial was more powerful.

[@dreadflint]

Nab, the mail was a better reason than a phrase on the currency which was only added in to 60's.

[@deaded5040]

The reason the ending was changed is because the United States postal services had been removed as a part of the federal government since the making of the original film...

[@LevCallahan]

@@deaded5040 I don't think it really matters why. It's like if there were no wheat bread around for your sandwich, so you're forced to use rosemary bread, which you never used before and didn't really want to. But now you use it, and the sandwich tastes 100x better. The 1994 ending is the rosemary bread to the 1947's wheat bread.

[@Garrettk41]

I'm not sure I wholeheartedly agree. While acceptance of the existence of God is a legit reason to also accept the existence of Santa, it still doesn't prove that Kris Kringle is he. The mail climax from the original, on the other hand, works better as solid proof, because the U.S. postal service is always required to give the mail to the right person. Granted they didn't send it to court because they actually believed it was really Santa, but it's still more reason to be convinced than simply being reminded of the phrase "In God we Trust".

The best film, this was such a beautiful holiday film we always come back to for more then two decades, I saw this in my teens

[@caseyfalconer7347]

I’m an adult and I watch this once a year. I believe in Santa Claus for just a few hours when I watch this film. Pulls at your heart

In God we Trust is the Best Scenes in Miracle on 34th Street (1994).

[@kickinbackwithKeira]

I like this scene so much better than the original with his mail. It makes more sense to me

[@euniceahmet1756]

I think every child deserves to have a childhood fantasy. I didn’t agree with the mom discouraging her daughter to believe in Santa clause . But I could see she really loved her daughter and had her best interest at heart

[@nkpv808]

"If you can't believe, if you can't accept anything on faith, then you're doomed for a life dominated by doubt." I love this movie so much.

[@mrfrancyofficial]

I got up to 1:27 and just HAD to stop the video as I KNEW I would cry! (As I do every single time I watch this film and I'm in my mid 30's lol). I'll come back to it later. Thanks for uploading this.

[@ChrisManley1994]

One of the most feel good scenes ever! Sometimes the good guys win ❤️🎅

[@Eleganza.]

Questo è il film della mia vita del mio cuore più assoluto. Grazie 🤗❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️

[@deaded5040]

This ending was switched because the United States Postal Service was no longer considered a branch of the federal government but rather a branch of the extended government which is why they had to switch the ending

[@Munchausen45]

A nuance that a lot of people really got confused with when there were recent Federal vaccine mandates. A lot of people seemed to think that the Postal Service was Federal like it was in the 40s. I had to explain how in the 70s a lot of that changed and it kind of became a hybrid government entity/business.

When We The People remain active stewards of our politicians, we have government that's just. When we become apathetic and uninvolved, we get the biden regime.

It’s only illegal if done with intent to defraud, such as attempt to change the value of the bill.

They tried, but it can't beat the original! A slightly touching scene, but MUCH better when they deliver his mail.

[@Criticcizm]

Well, I at least agree with the judge. If the government can accept one god exists without evidence, then they should accept ALL gods without evidence. "In Flying Spaghett Monster We Trust"

[@signer25]

correct. it simply means to believe in something rather it actually exist or not. its all about believing in something.

[@troyterry6919]

You are incorrect. They are the same theology. Zeus Hera Hercules Hades Hermes Odin Frieda Thor Loki Heimdall Osiris isis Horus set Ra They are the same people Heavenly Father heavenly mother Jesus Satan and the holy Ghost.

[@troyterry6919]

And there is evidence for God. Read the book of Mormon.

[@chornk64]

The Postal Service was created as an independent establishment of the Executive Branch by the Postal Reorganization Act (39 U.S.C. 101 et seq.), approved August 12, 1970. The present United States Postal Service commenced operations on July 1, 1971. Also, due to being a part of the Executive Branch, the postal service does not qualify for governmental funding.

[@Garrettk41]

Incidentally, is there any way we could see the scene with Ed Collins questioning those special witnesses? You know, the North Pole explorer and the St. Nicholas historian. Those parts were interesting, and they don't appear to be available online.

In the 60’s the TV network was very very nervous about the production of Its Christmas Charlie Brown and wanted the producers to eliminate Linus biblical quotation. The producers and Charles Schulz both said no and the sponsor (I think Coke) said it’s ok with us so it stayed in. I’m very dubious that it could be done today on broadcast TV. Too many groups offended at everything.@@satinbarbi

By far the worst mainstream Christmas movie ever made !

[@netwolfe]

There is an older black and white version from the 1940's starting Edmund Gwenn as Kris Kringle. If your biggest issues with this movie is this ending scene of the trail, you might like the older version better. The 1940's version ending is different, actually matching the ending that is in the book. And in my personal opinion, I think the 1940's version makes for a better legal argument then the one shown. Those my personal thoughts.
