Everyone knows the story of Santa Claus. The kind, old toymaker who dies and is resurrected by a band of all-male, sensual elves, who enslave the old man and force him to work unceasingly for centuries. Well, that’s what we thought Santa Claus: The Movie was about, anyway. That’s without getting into a homeless street scamp, the evil toymaker under congressional pressure to clean up his act and the North Pole drug trade. You will believe Nannies can fly...on dust.
Next Week: The Rankin/Bass stop-motion holiday classic, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. A story of abused workers, sociopathic dentists and a white-haired monster. Spoiler: the monster is Santa.
