    Make a sequel trilogy to The Santa Clause that begins with Tim Allen falling off a roof and a twink becoming the new Santa, only he's really psyched when he gets chubby and grows and beard and is suddenly a hot daddy. I know it sounds like a porn but this would be a movie for kids.

    Christmas movie that follows the rules of The Santa Clause, that tells the story of people staying up overnight on Christmas Eve intending to assassinate Santa, so that they may become the next Santa, while Santa must do everything in his power to defend himself, No More Heroes style

    It took me over thirty years to get that the movie, "The Santa Clause" is a play on words, referencing the legal document use of the word "clause." Oh my god. They even explain it several times in the movie. My brain is SO smooth.

    Don't think I've ever seen the sequels, but decided to watch The Santa Clause films because 'tis the season, and the first one is straight up a body horror film in a lot of ways? But with a happy jolly patina and uplifting music. Oh, and one of the most annoying child characters ever.

    However, this was only his second to last film. There was a brief moment where he thought he might be in remission, so he appeared in an entry in the Santa Clause franchise in which he and Tim Allen swapped bodies, and he was lowkey incredible as Tim Allen's Santa Clause. THEN he died.

    Hot take: Jingle All the Way is functionally and spiritually a better movie than The Santa Clause, The Polar Express, and dozens of others in a ten year window around 1996 that get a Nostalgia Pass while JAtW gets dunked on by hack YouTubers.

    As we enter the festive season I once more have encountered The Santa Clause and been reminded of the implied horrors of that movie world’s lore. For example, in Santa Clause 2 we learn that Santa MUST have a Mrs. Claus. Non-negotiable, and the impetus for the film. But in the original… no family.
