An extra large wholesome Santa movie from 1985, SantaClaus The Movie stars Dudley Moore as the original Elf Story. Like Buddy the Elf, this Christmas movie captures the core feels of the 1980s, since it was released in 1985, far from the 1970s and 1990s.
The US flag makes a cameo in several scenes. When a greedy captain of the Toy Industry, pitches his idea for Christmas II for March 25th, a US flag can be seen in the background. The US flag also appear in a larger form during a court case dealing with poor toy making policies of a Biz Toys.The US flag also appears as painted wood working over a portrait of George Washington.
No expense was spared on this million dollar Christmas Play. It has faded from memory somewhat, but it captures the feels of the 1980s. It is fun reminder of classical Santa.
