VHS Movie Reviews of Here Comes Santa Claus [VHS]

Movie Review: Well...it's quite original.
Summary: 1 Stars

As someone who lives in America, I saw the English dubbed version of this film released by Starmaker Video. I don't know if anything was lost in the translation or if this is just an odd film. My guess is the latter.

The plot revolves around a sweet little boy named Simon whose parents have somehow become political prisoners in Africa. Simon's class in school writes letters to Santa and he tells the jolly ol' man that he doesn't want toys for Christmas. He only wants his parents back.

Soon afterwards, the class takes a trip to the airport. Interestingly enough, Simon and a little girl named Elodie end up separated from their classmates and are placed on a plane. The plane supposedly takes them to the same part of the world where Santa lives (although it's not the South Pole). The two little kids wander around in the snow and into a forest in search of Santa.

This peculiar film includes more than just Santa Claus though. It also boasts an ogre, a fairy, a tribe of African rebels and several headache-inducing songs sung at the most inappropriate of times. I will probably remember "Here Comes Santa Claus" for quite some time. However, don't consider that a recommendation for you to go out and find a copy of this rare flick.

Summary of Here Comes Santa Claus [VHS]

Courageous elves, live reindeer, a beautiful fairy, an ugly ogre and of course Santa Claus himself are all part of the enchanting adventure awaiting seven-year-old Simon when he travels to Santa's magical kingdom to personally deliver a very special Christmas wish.
