Great start to this movie: how Santa came to be. Spectacular sets and special effects as good ol' Uncle Claus -- quite mortal -- transitions to taking off with his magical powers and mastery over time and space to serve all the kids of the world. Dudley Moore is just like in his other movies, flawed but sweet-and-adorable. John Lithgow is just like in many of his other movies, smoothly composed and superficially respectable to mask his evilness, far exceeding all the Scrooges we've seen in other movies. The plot when those two meet in NYC and get involved in the cute-kids sub-plot is good, if not as spectacular as the opening sequence. Kids are certain to enjoy this, and grownups will, too, if they lighten up a bit in the spirit of Christmas.

This is truly a Christmas Classic! It is in the same class as "The Bishop's Wife", "White Christmas" and It's a Wonderful Life"!!! I have a VHS tape of it, but I bought this for a clearer picture. What a joy to watch. The special effects are amazing and the acting fantastic!!!
