Discover how a kindly woodcutter becomes Father Christmas in Santa Claus: The Movie, the 1985 festive fantasy directed by Jeannot Szwarc. David Huddleston plays Claus, whose journey to the North Pole introduces him to a world of elves, flying reindeer and a workshop dedicated to bringing Christmas joy to children around the world.

But the magic faces a different kind of challenge when eager elf Patch, played by Dudley Moore, leaves for modern-day New York. There he falls under the influence of a greedy toy manufacturer, played by John Lithgow, whose ambitions threaten the spirit of Christmas. With Burgess Meredith and John Barrard among the cast, the film moves from Santa’s origins to a comic adventure about generosity and misplaced trust.
