The Santa Clause (1994) | First Time Watching | Movie Reaction

20:28 -- What makes you kids so sure I'm Santa? I could just as easily be a Kenny Rogers stunt double!

[@LennyWatt65]

10:30 I lived down south growing up and when I was little I left out the Pillsbury Christmas cookies with the Christmas tree or snowman on them and milk for Santa and my family had a sack of deer corn that we used for hunting and I got a coffee can full of deer corn and scattered it all in the front yard for the reindeer. When I woke up I found some of the corn eaten and some small Christmas bells laying on the ground where the rest of the corn was laying, and of course the cookies and milk were ate up and drinked up

When I saw this in theaters, I was 13-14 years old. I saw that North pole elf who raises the North pole, and I thought, I wanna be that elf. Don't know why, but I thought he was a bad a$$, and I wanna to have that bad a$$ job. This movie still warms my heart a bit even 30+ years later.

[@popculturallychallenged]

It was a fun movie! 🥰

[@Avalee325]

That’s awesome 🤣😭 hey, the heart wants what the heart wants 🤷🏻‍♀️😆

[@JohnSmith-zw8vp]

11:50 -- What, no sadness, no moment of silence, no tribute to the fallen Santa? I guess they're like Ivan Drago from Rocky 4 and are all like, "If he dies, he dies"? And why does Bernard tell him to be back by the American Thanksgiving? The North Pole isn't a part of the US and last I checked Santa's jurisdiction is the whole world (well the parts that have Santa anyway)?

[@cn5803]

Toni is so freaking pure I love herrrrr. Please David protect Toni at all costs always sending much love your family's way!!!!

[@popculturallychallenged]

Thank you!! I'll do my best! :D

[@JohnSmith-zw8vp]

10:16 -- I thought at the time he was saying "I'm not toast and tolerant!"

[@donellebullock7404]

Kids can typically ride in the front if they have a special setup or meet a state regulated size and weight.

[@popculturallychallenged]

I wondered what the laws were after she asked that. :)

[@Avalee325]

That’s what I thought too. I was like, why would he need a car seat, he’s like 8 😭

[@averagecanadianguy9427]

This is the best Christmas movie ever. It depicts what Christmas today should be. Decorations, singing, eating ect. I love 90s Christmas movies because it's real.

[@popculturallychallenged]

We both enjoyed it too! 😃

[@timroebuck3458]

They use Rudolph for foggy weather.

[@popculturallychallenged]

👍

[@Avalee325]

Oh right! I always wondered where he was too 😆 nice one 👏🏻👍

[@kevmodee1866]

Hey David & Toni...love these movies. And don't worry Toni, consider that there's a message and point to the parts that tug at your heart strings. Tears are a way of showing those feelings of connection. FYI...I teared up myself when I first seen this movie, and I'm a 57 yr old man. 😉 Till next time guys! Bless

[@popculturallychallenged]

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement.

"Seeing isn't believing. Believing is seeing." Fun Fact: The dance that Tim Allen does during the montage before his second Christmas Eve was improvised and done in one take. The director kept it because it was so good. Tool Man Fact: During his tour of the workshop, Scott Calvin tries out a tool belt then shakes his head as if to indicate that tools aren't for him. This is a reference to Tim Allen's then-hit TV show, Home Improvement (1991) where his character's life (Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor) revolved around tools. Everywhere Everywhere Fact: Elves are scattered throughout the movie in Scott and Charlie's world. The little blonde girl walking away from the window at the opening of the movie, the little boy putting his jacket on and wearing a red scarf as Scott and Charlie are led to their seat in Denny's, the girl walking behind the bench when Scott has kids lined up at Charlie's soccer game, the girl in the purple coat who walks by Scott and Charlie in the park when Scott wants Charlie to stop talking about the Santa Claus, and the attentive little boy in the blue turtleneck behind Charlie's desk during show and tell are all elves. They even show up as a group at the end of the movie when Scott flies away from the Miller house, they are the kids who run and skip off. Go back and let me know when you find them all.

[@popculturallychallenged]

Thanks @BigGator5, I recall the elves at the end but will need to rewatch to catch the above. Cool info!!

[@BigGator5]

You're most welcome. 😁 Merry Christmas! 🎄 🎅 Go in Peace and Walk with God. 😎 👍

And the truck driver that sees Santa and the reindeer pass him on the highway played Benny, Tim Taylor's friend in Home Improvement.

[@popculturallychallenged]

@@StandUpComedyFan28m That's cool! :)

24:56 his a kids story inside of santa's story so his as real a frosty the snow man

[@popculturallychallenged]

That makes sense. :)

[@boballen818]

Always love your reactions. Going back thru them as time allows. Do yourself a favor Toni and next December (in lieu of carolers) just treat yourself to sitting down with your ear buds and watch all the Pentatonix Christmas videos. You will be blown away and it will put you in the spirit. Enjoy you two

[@popculturallychallenged]

Thanks @Bob Allen, checking them out as I type…. Who needs to wait until December for some holiday cheer. 😉 - Toni p.s. my new favorite!!

[@Anakinskywalkerfan1]

David and toni I used to live where it was filmed

[@popculturallychallenged]

That's cool! 😃

[@Anakinskywalkerfan1]

@@popculturallychallenged yup it was mainly filmed in Canada

[@emaniburton9422]

I used to carol when I was a kid. My friend had a December birthday party and we would carol around the neighborhood

[@popculturallychallenged]

That is so cool @Emani Burton!! I might recruiter some friends and give it a try. :)

[@davidcole7788]

there is one answer to all your quesstions. ITS A FLIPPiN MOVIE __ love you guys.

[@popculturallychallenged]

Thanks!

[@brianlinville5420]

So the bag only has the presents for the house hes in at the time.

[@Lions1986]

Lol i find it so funny how you guys are watching a movie about Santa Clause and your wife is talking about how unrealistic it is to go down such a small tube. Love your reactions and you two make a great couple. Cant wait to watch the reactions to the other Santa Clause movies that i saw posted

[@popculturallychallenged]

That's too funny! I hadn't noticed that before. 😂

[@DrEms-eq9hl]

Greenfield Village in Michigan has Carolers as part of their Christmas. Also roasting chestnuts, hot cocoa, and a horse-pulled cart where you sing while you ride.

[@popculturallychallenged]

That's awesome! :)

[@dcemerald70]

Thank you so much for this reaction! It brought back many happy memories and nostalgia! I guarantee you’ll love the sequels! I was always amazed by the magic as well as the message about how life can give you the opportunity to be a better person and have a better life. Toni, don’t fret over tears; tears to me is way to show that you not only understand the message but that you have developed a connection to the character and the story. 🎅🏻👦🏻🎄🎁🦌🍪🥛🥕❤️🤍💚💛

[@popculturallychallenged]

Thank you @dcemerald70, you are so kind. Can't wait to see the sequels.

Loved this movie and your guys' reactions. Topo gigo might not be Santa Claus, but, he was a character that appeared on the Ed Sullivan show and sometimes dressed as Santa.

[@popculturallychallenged]

Thank you!! That makes sense now about Top Gigo! Neither of us knew what he was talking about! :)

[@Lions1986]

should watch the movie nothing to lose with tim robbins and martin lawrence

[@popculturallychallenged]

Thank you, we have added to our list. - Toni

[@76tennboy]

The thing I never understood, is my understanding of the timeline is Bernard showed up to pick up Santa at Thanksgiving. He even said so at the very beginning will need you to report back at Thanksgiving. That’s why Bernard was there to make sure that happened. So if that is true, then Charlie has literally been missing from Thanksgiving to Christmas?? Scott was not OK with Charlie leaving unannounced but also keeping him for a month without any real communication?? That’s insane.

[@popculturallychallenged]

I didn't catch that and that would have been insane!! I'm learning to let it go so I think I can't think about that stuff... -Toni 😂

[@isabellacrown1872]

Home Alone is my favorite Christmas movie but this is cute .

[@karstynmcdaniel]

I went caroling door to door as a kid in like the mid 2000s. Who knows why

[@popculturallychallenged]

Did you enjoy it?

@@popculturallychallenged I was embarrassed a little bit it's mostly a positive memory

18:36 -- You're not seriously expected to order these kinds of waaaay too "grown up" lunches in this kind of setting are you? :( Why not have good ol' burgers 'n fries or pizza or chicken or something? :(

[@shallowgal462]

"I'm sorry, Charlie." Only the best-tasting tuna gets to be Starkist. Please watch the sequels.

[@popculturallychallenged]

We're going to see what we can do. We have a few other things on the schedule for December but we're hoping to squeeze in at least 1 of the sequels. I just saw that there's a new one coming on Disney+ as well that we really want to see as well. :D

[@nicolaskaito4769]

Such a classic movie and you guys need to react to the 2nd movie which for me work well as 2 movies not counting the 3rd one.

[@popculturallychallenged]

We'll see what we can do! 😃

[@pennypizza8784]

#popculturallychallenged# i loved your guys reaction to this movie i love it i think when scott was thinking about a secret is because legally speaking it wouldn't take much to get it out that there is a man out there who might be crazy and then you cant see charlie anymore
