Santa Claus: The Movie

“You'd better watch out! This year he REALLY IS coming to town.”

A village toymaker named Claus (David Huddleston) is brought to the North Pole, where an ancient elf (Burgess Meredith) tells him a destiny he never asked for. Centuries later, Santa has more orders than he can handle, and the elf Patch (Dudley Moore) walks out of the workshop and ends up in New York City. Jeannot Szwarc follows him into a failing toy company run by B.Z. (John Lithgow), and Christmas is the thing at risk.
