There aren't many movies that can kill off Santa in the first act and constantly poke holes in the folklore the entire time while still maintaining a jolly Christmas spirit, but The Santa Clause manages to pull it off. The sweet optimism of this holiday film even balances out Tim Allen's constant sarcasm. It's a unique story which offers some fun additions to the mythology. It does get a little cheesy near the end after the E. L. F. S. arrive, and some references & visual effects make this movie a little less timeless than others, but I'm up for watching The Santa Clause every couple years or so.
