The Santa Clause
Divorced toy company executive Scott Calvin (Tim Allen of Home Improvement and the Toy Story movies) is pleased to have his son Charlie for Christmas, though the boy himself isn't happy about it. But when Santa Claus accidentally topples off the roof of the house and falls with a thud in the snow, Scott finds himself taking the merry old elf's place and earning new respect in his son's eyes. When the night ends, the reindeer take them to the north pole, and Scott discovers that by donning the fabled red suit, he's inadvertently agreed to become the next Santa Claus. The next morning he wakes up in his own bed and thinks it's all a dream--only Charlie remembers it with crystal clarity. Scott now has to deal with his suspicious ex-wife (Wendy Crewson, Air Force One) and her psychiatrist boyfriend (Judge Reinhold, Beverly Hills Cop), who both think he's playing tricks with Charlie's mind, and also with his own out-of-control body, which is putting on weight and growing a prodigious beard. The Santa Clause probably won't supplant It's a Wonderful Life or Miracle on 34th Street as anyone's favorite holiday film, but it's an enjoyable, straightforward family film, anchored by the affable charisma of Allen. --Bret Fetzer
The Santa Clause 2
Considering how lame this sequel could have been, The Santa Clause 2 makes for a pleasant holiday diversion. It's got the familiar smell of Disney marketeering, and more than a few parents will object to this further embellishment of the St. Nick legend, but Tim Allen's amiable presence provides ample compensation. As a divorced dad who inherited the jolly man's job in The Santa Clause, Allen now faces another Yuletide challenge. According to the "Missus Clause" in his North Pole contract, he can't continue to be the real Santa until he gets married. As luck and five credited screenwriters would have it, Allen falls for the Scrooge-y principal (Elizabeth Mitchell) of his son's school, while a phony, power-hungry duplicate Santa wreaks havoc on the North Pole's overworked elves. It's all as sweet as spiced eggnog, with that warmed-over feel of a mandated sequel, but the Christmas spirit does prevail with the sound of sleigh bells and Allen's rosy-cheeked ho, ho, ho! --Jeff Shannon
The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause
How about a new villain and a dash of It's a Wonderful Life to spice up the third installment of the popular Tim Allen holiday franchise? Under the onslaught of another Christmas season, Santa Claus/Scott Calvin (Allen) is feeling even more pressure because Mrs. Claus (Elizabeth Mitchell, reprising her role from The Santa Clause 2) is expecting a little Claus and also longing for the company of some "tall people." So Scott agrees to let her parents (Ann-Margret and Alan Arkin) visit as long as they believe that they're really in Canada rather than at the North Pole. Further complicating matters is a visit by Scott's ex-wife (Wendy Crewson), her husband (Judge Reinhold), and their daughter, Lucy (Liliana Mumy). Enter the bad boy of the Council of Legendary Figures, Jack Frost (Martin Short), who's supremely jealous of the figures who have their own holidays, especially Santa. So he launches a plan to sabotage the toy factory and compel Scott to invoke the little-known Escape Clause and wish he'd never become Santa. The resulting evocation of a classic Christmas movie, It's a Wonderful Life, is seasoned with a splash of Back to the Future when Scott rewinds 12 years (has it really been that long?) to when it all began. Though neither sequel has matched the charm of the original Santa Clause, both have been safe, reliable family fare. (All ages: some crude humor) --David Horiuchi

 Great Holiday Movies! January 7, 2009
Wendy E. Lindberg (Nibley, Ut)
These Movies are so much fun to watch during the holidays and all year long. My kids got them for an early Christmas present and they watched them all December long. The 3 pack is a lot cheeper than bying them individualy. Shipping was so fast I had my movies in less than a week.

Santa Clause December 30, 2008
Troy L. Talmadge (New Cumberland, PA)
I have loved the Santa Clause movies for years and even more now on DVD.
 5 Star Movies; Disappointing 1 Star Collection December 30, 2008
D. Sellers (VA, USA)
Like any fan of Christmas Movies these 3 are a great interpretation of the Santa Claus Tale. I love these movies they are funny and get you in the Christmas Spirit!
However, This "Holiday Complete Collection" as they claim to call it leaves a lot to be desired; Like the WIDESCREEN VERSIONS OF THE MOVIES!! Any true Cinema fan knows that Widescreen is the only way to watch movies, you see the director's whole vision, not just what will fit in the screen, and particularly with the Sweep of Flat Widescreen TVs over the OLD CRT TVs, you would think that a WIDESCREEN collection would be a no-brainer for a commercial money giant like Disney.
I agree with the another AMAZON reviewer who said it's like they repackaged the UNSOLD FULLSCREEN DVDs to CON you into buying them in this set.
Don't waste your time or money, you might as well buy the Widescreen versions individually, and save yourself a disappointing headache and get what you really want!
Love Tim Allen, Love the Movies, currently MAD at Disney!
