Brilliant movie brings back childhood memories 🙂👍

Purchased for a friend, she liked it.

This is a wonderful family Christmas film. It’s touching, funny and is everything you want from a good Christmas film. It tells the story of how ‘Santa’ became ‘Santa which is sure to resonate with children everywhere. He has an excitable elf who really wants to make his mark on Christmas and that’s where things go a little awry. Of course there is the ‘baddy’ who tries to capitalise on the elf’s innocence and good old Santa is there to save the day. There is absolutely no bad language, nothing that could frighten young children and it does have an underlying message that kindness and love will win through. I love the film and it’s ideal for children and adults. A great way to spend a winters evening and would really recommend it.

Made up could not find it anywhere else at that price

This for me is one of the All time best christmas movies, it has everything... a beautiful soundtrack, humour, heart and Warmth. The Bluray copy is a big step up over the dvd, sure there is alot of film grain but thats because it was shot on film and not digital. The DVD was good enough for the time but it was generally a horrible transfer. This is the best way to watch this movie, Just a shame the audio is only 2.0 If a full restoration ever happens I will rebuy but for now its awesome to have this favourite of mine in HD.

Growing up in the UK with this film on a VHS recorded from the TV years earlier was one of my best Christmas memories as a kid. I never understand how the US audience always despised this film when it has all its charm and delight. With a perfect cast, John Lithgow as the scheming cigar-munching magnate was always my guilty favourite! Seeing it get the 4K remaster was a surprise nonetheless, I had to pick it up for this Christmas just past, so Christmas Eve came, and yes. Just yes. Its never looked better. Although dim and flat in some scenes, yet warm and crisp in others, the select use of its dynamic range in Dolby Vision sticks through to bring in that little bit of magic and glitter that made the film so memorable. Can't wait for next Christmas Eve!

Me and my sister are so excited to now have this Xmas movie on 4k It will the movie pop and stand out more excited to experience it in 4k definition

Ottimo

Una excelente película en cuanto a su temática y actuaciones, recalcando a Dudley Moore que le da un gran plus a la película, y el Santa Claus que en verdad durante el transcurso de la misma te hace pensar que en verdad si es él. El único detalle talvez seria con el transfer y pues es comprensible por el tiempo de la película que no se podía hacer mas pero en lo general es buena y lástima que no contenga subtítulos en español.

Es la historia original de santa! Excelent, it is the movie we watch littles about santa claus with the same video quality, my children love it

Je me suis fait avoir car ce dvd est en anglais mais bon mon fils l a quand même regardé même s il a rien compris. Il paraît qu'il n existe pas en version française. Dommage

Great Xmas Movie
