Take A Look at Disney

Santa Spectacle: An Introduction





IT'S CHRISTMAS.... YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!    Sorry, had to get that outta my system.  Last year, I did an event where I looked at the various adaptations of A Christmas Carol. This year, I've decided to do something similar and see how the icon of Christmas is handled by Disney.   Now, some stipulations should be set up, this will be only the live action portrayals as there are too many animated takes to count.



The list of things that I'm looking at comes from the Disney Wiki's entry on Santa Claus and there list of Live action productions.  However, I will not be reviewing Santa Buddies or any of those movies and I do know that there are certain movies that feature Santa that aren't on that list but I will mostly be sticking to that list.





And also some of these will range from having Santa Claus as prominent figure to being a supporting character or just showing up because it's Christmas as will be the case with tomorrow's review.   For those that wish to know,  here is what I will be looking at.

  1. Holiday Time at Disneyland 
  2. One Magic Christmas 
  3. The Santa Clause
  4. The Santa Clause 2
  5. The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause
  6. Santa Who?
  7. Ernest Saves Christmas
  8. A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa


Now, they're may be more to come but as of right these 8 items are what I plan to look at and I hope that you enjoy this trip to the North Pole with me as we see how these different actors put their spin on St. Nick.   Here's a question for you, who is your favorite cinematic Santa Claus?  We will be covering mine during this event.  Join me tomorrow as we see how Paul Maxey brought Santa to life in live action for an episode of Disneyland.
