Movie Reviews of The Night They Saved Christmas [Region 2]
Movie Review: this movie was pure holiday magic, as well as Dudly Moore's "SANTA CLAUS THE MOVIE"
Summary: 5 Stars
Christmas in the 80's & in the early 90's there were no other christmas movies like this one. It had a big impact on me. Every year I would watch this movie while either decorating my tree of just chilling and having hot chocolate. It would still give me the chills of pure christmas magic. This was one of my all time favorites, It had something about it, that just makes christmas the mother of all holidays. When I was younger this movie seemed very real to me, and the way it was directed and how the plot really worked. I really loved the whole Ice Fog thing, that really kicked in the North Pole effect and how no one is able to see it, with your own eyes and it was concealed by a huge wall of ice, and had a secert enternce, unless you go though it. Now that was really cool. I really was impressed with the whole talking into a candy cane phone thing, and the rollor coaster ride through the ice glaciers and snowy mountains. The most wonderfull thing about this film, that it was full of color, and the mood was set right. It had very little special effects and it was not over done either. Now that I wish they had a real theme park based on this movie lol. I am now 23, and I still love this film. Art Carney to me was the ideal Santa Claus, his looks and his personality hit it right on the money. He took on his role very seriously at times and thats what drew me into this movie. Now I know Tim Allen puts on the red suit and still does a great job, but Art Carney really pulled his stings a bit more. I think with out all the joking around, Santa was very real in this movie. I like the fact that at one moment he had a long talk with Jacylin Smith (the mother)about her childhood, and ya know the old saying, HE SEES YOU WHEN YOUR SLEEPING AND HE KNOWS WHEN YOUR AWAKE. Well Carney proved it. That was a very special moment in that movie for me. It really gives you a sence of what santa would be like, in real life. Art Carney's santa was very realistic and he was very down to earth with that role. The young actors who played her kids, David, Marrianne and CB. I liked how the younger one started to have his doubts untill he saw the real thing, I like the whole idea of oil drillers digging oil in the arctic circle and not having no idea that Santa really lived up there. That was very smart, This movie has alot of magic to it, for those who grew up with it, will know what I am talking about, it may not be a comedy but as for a drama its really good. It really grabs you and make your holiday spirt even bigger, but most of all it keeps you believing in the unbelieveable, and it keeps the magic of what childhood christmas should always and forever will be. I really want this movie on dvd so badly, I know they have Dudly Moores Santa Claus the movie on dvd, now that was another Santa Classic. But this movie seemed more real, despite not having that much special effects and it really worked well in a real life setting in different situations. This movie deserve a new dvd packageing and as a few special features here and there based on the legend of Santa Claus. This will be a holiday classic for when I have kids one day, and I will sit and watch it with my own family. Christmas in the 80' will always be a cherished memory of mine I will have for the rest of my life. I will never forget how this movie maked me look at the way I look at Santa Claus in all my years of different holiday movies... Just keep up on praying that we get this one on dvd fast!
