Talk:Santa Claus: The Movie

message: I think this needs to be moved to "Santa Claus (1985 film)" in keeping with naming conventions. --Rhindle The Red (talk) 16:41, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The naming convention is also to use the formal title of the movie, which is the Santa Claus: The Movie. The JPStalk to me 19:29, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: How is that the formal title? The formal title is usually the one that appears on the film itself, and that is Santa Claus. --Rhindle The Red (talk) 00:13, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: When my mother and I went to see this film in 1985, it was most certainly billed as Santa Claus: The Movie, and in fact I recall Mom getting the tickets and using that very name to refer to the movie. --68.91.254.60 (talk) 17:58, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Dudley Moore plays a character called "Patch", not "Pitch." My ears tell me so, my subtitles on my TV tell me so, and even IMDB tells me so. I'm editing the article to change "Pitch" to "Patch". MEICYOUNG  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.240.204.150 (talk) 13:12, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

message: McDonald's was giving away a short version of this movie as a storybook in 1985 to help promote the movie. The storybook only covered up to the point in the movie where Santa makes his first flight from the Pole. --LReyome254 (talk) 23:40, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

message: I would question the section stating that the vendegum rescue Santa, Anya and the reindeer. Their final scene before meeting the vendegum is in a torrential blizzard, then the vendegum arrive in a perfectly clear night with no wind or falling snow. I was under the opinion that they died in the storm, were transported to the workshop and were brought back to eternal life, hence the amazing change in weather. Obviously, being a child-friendly story the death was glossed over so nobody apparently dies in a Santa story. --JohnC 10:26, 12 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course they died. They freeze to death and then are revived by the elves (or God, or something) as immortal beings. Which makes Santa's later weight gain, change of diet, and falling asleep in his soup all rather strange.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.41.128.119 (talk) 00:22, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
