Fun, charming, quality production

Actor Ron Moody steals the show as Kris Kringle. His comedic timing, wit, and musical abilities showcase the many sides of his character, as seen through the eyes of people all over the world. The main characters along with Benji are taken on a unique behind-the-scenes view of Santa's operation. These depictions are ahead of their time, ideas that other Santa movie franchises would borrow and extrapolate on in future decades. It's good-natured, timeless, family fun for all.
