slo’s MONDAY 12/11 poll - The Santa Clause (Movies & Series) 🎅🏼

[fly girl]

Never sat through any of them. I have seen bits and pieces of the first one, but I know zero about the plot. Just never had an interest. Maybe some day.

If you haven't read on another thread my go-to Christmas movies are the claymation ones. And A Charlie Brown Christmas which I found out will be free to everyone this weekend, Dec 16-17, on Apple+.

I have seen the 3 movies (enjoyed the first, second was OK, third was meh.) I have not watched the series. If the first one is on, we might watch... but it is not a "must see" for the holiday season.

LOVE the first one, it is high on my list. If I see it on I watch it. I don't always have a lot of time to see many Christmas movies due to my job, etc. I Like the other 2, the 3rd less so than the 2nd. I am interested in the series but haven't had the chance to see any of it.

Love the first one, hard to believe it's almost 30 years old already. I actually like the other two, obviously not as good but perfectly watchable IMO. I really like the scene in the 2nd movie where Santa/Scott livens up the school faculty Christmas party by magically producing everyone's favorite toys from their childhood. The third one is definitely the weakest but I still enjoy it for what it is. Oddly enough the thing I dislike about it the most is Alan Arkin's ridiculous performance. Such poor casting. Also, no Bernard!! I try to watch all three every year but if I don't it's no big deal. Not like missing Rudolph, Frosty, or The Grinch!

I don't have Disney+ so haven't seen the series, but it sounds like I'm not missing much.

I like the first one and usually watch it most years. The second one is okay and I will watch it if it comes on. Not a fan of the 3rd one. I tried to watch the series but didn’t get very far. I thought the kids were kind of annoying. I keep saying I will try to watch the second season since the actor who plays Cam looks like he’ll be funny, but I couldn’t get more than a few minutes in.
