Santa Claus: The Movie (1985) - David Huddleston 

Let’s get one thing straight... David wasn’t just playing Santa Claus; he was redefining what it meant to be Old Jolly St. Nick. This man had the kind of charisma that made me think, “Wait, why do I want to fuck Santa?”

Forget the plump, belly-laughing image we all know—Huddleston’s Santa was tall, broad, and looked like he would give you a good fuck in a sleigh.

Bottom line: If Santa really looked like this, who wouldn't want to sit on his lap?

Santa Claus: The Movie (1985) 4K review - Christmas caper has aged well

The history of Santa Claus in cinema is a long and storied one. From Miracle on 34th Street to Bad Santa, pretty much every possible incarnation of Saint Nick has been covered on film. Out now in a snazzy 4K restoration, Santa Claus: The Movie is likely one of the most traditional and endearing portrayals out there. David Huddleston plays Santa Claus with a fitting level of joviality, albeit…

Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town (1970)

Okay I love the small genre of Santa being portrayed as "Giant scary man,"

Paramount put out a Rankin/Bass style short about Team Sonic saving Christmas.

It's cute, funny, and I do like a lot of the little things in it.

Their Christmas sweaters tied to their character: a chili dog for Sonic, the biplane for Tails, and grapes for Knuckles.

Also the Robotnik snowmen, as well as the snow level in the background.

Luke Macfarlane Catch Me If You Claus (2023)

Something I just realized about Jack Frost, his depiction and story is actually brilliant.

If you think about the depictions of him prior to the DreamWorks movie, he really wasn't in the media that much until then. Jack had his own Rankin/Bass special, and was the antagonist in The Santa Clause 3. After that, I don't recall him being mentioned or seen in anything afterwards.

Jack Frost being barely talked about or ignored is more accurate than ever. Sandman and Tooth Fairy are active everyday, and Santa and Easter Bunny ALWAYS get attention at the beginning and end of the year. But Jack? We maybe remember the line "Jack Frost nipping at your nose." at best. The movie is right, we DON'T talk about Jack Frost.

No matter what Jack does, the kids don't see him. Even the adults brush him off and he's right in front of them most of the time. So Jack having this whole character arc of being seen and believed in makes a lot more sense. The world had forgotten him because more people got cynical and lost their fun, while he does his best to get their attention.

Then Rise of the Guardians changed everything. Jack Frost's popularity blew up a few months after the movie. Parts of the internet became obsessed with the guy and he became the favorite character of the movie. The movie itself helped Jack become a household name. Now you can NEVER forget him, now he's part of the holiday season with Santa, Rudolph and many others.

Hell, this version is so iconic, no one else has even tried to do their own take. Its kind of like 2003's Teen Titans, its such a perfect version that any other adaptation pales in comparison. ROTG Jack Frost is so good, its now the definitive version of him. No matter what version comes next, THIS is Jack Frost now.

Props to the crew and design team of the film, because they nailed this concept and perfectly updated him. They created the BEST version of this nearly forgotten character, and now he's known worldwide. Even at the end its implied more people will start to believe in him now (I NEED A SEQUEL), and his final words to the audience mean much more now that he's a guardian.

Everytime I keep finding out just how much heart is in this movie, I keep getting obsessed with film every December and its a never ending book of surprises when fans catch more things about Rise of the Guardians.

God, I love this movie
