Santa Claus: The Movie
40th ANNIVERSARY SCREENING - In ancient times, a man named Claus (David Huddleston), who delivers toys in his small village, fulfils his destiny to become Santa Claus after meeting an expert toy-making elf, Patch (Dudley Moore), in the North Pole. In the present day, Santa Claus has become overwhelmed by his workload, and the disgruntled Patch flees the workshop to New York City. There, Patch unknowingly threatens the fate of Christmas by taking a job at a failing toy company run by scheming businessman 'BZ' (John Lithgow). Directed by Jeannot Szwarc (Jaws 2, Supergirl), SANTA CLAUS: THE MOVIE is a big-budget epic from the producer of 1978's Superman, Alexander Salkind, featuring spectacular special effects and an unexpected satirical bent.
