Santa Claus: The Making of the Movie (1985): Cast & Plot

In a medieval village in northern Europe, a woodcutter named Claus quietly toils to bring joy to children by delivering hand-carved toys each Christmas, accompanied by his wife Anya and their loyal reindeer, Donner and Blitzen. One fateful crossing of a snow-swept forest ends in disaster when a fierce blizzard traps them, and they awaken not in their familiar countryside, but in the North Pole, where every resident enjoys a strange form of immortality. There, they are welcomed by a bustling community of elves, and the elf leader, Dooley, explains that Claus’s arrival was foretold and that his true fate is to become the world’s lifelong toy deliverer.
