Storyline
A little girl discovers dreams do come true if you really believe. Six-year-old Susan has doubts about childhood's most enduring miracle - Santa Claus. Her mother told her the "secret" about Santa a long time ago, so Susan doesn't expect to receive the most important gifts on her Christmas list. But after meeting a special department store Santa who's convinced he's the real thing, Susan is given the most precious gift of all - something to believe in.

Trivia
The Director of Photography decided to put a light above each of the actor's and actress' heads during all of the shots to give a distinct glow behind each character. As this was popular in the 90s, it helped give a warm feel to the remake of a classic film. See more »Goofs
When he renders his judgment in the climactic sequence at the end of the film, Jugde Harper mentions that the $1 bill on which he found the words "In God We Trust" was issued by the Treasury of the United States. In fact, current U.S. banknotes are issued by the Federal Reserve Banks, not the Treasury. (Note that this error does not apply to the original 1947 film of which this is a remake: At that time, the U.S. Treasury still issued a form of banknotes called silver certificates.)

I watch it every year. I've read negative reviews of Mara Wilson's performance but I think she is charming and smart but not at all obnoxious or know-it-all as others have said. She is acting over maturely as she was raised by her no-nonsense and jaded mother. Her subtle winks and expressions are very apropos to her role and she interacts very well with Mr. Kringle. (Perhaps I like her because she looks like my daughter when she was little.) Regardless, I love the way this story is told and Mara makes it for me. Even though logically she was taught that Santa was not real, as a little girl she was still willing to believe. Take a little joy in believing! I hope you enjoy :)
