Let the countdown begin!
This Dreamworks film came out a couple years ago. It never really became famous, but it was still a good animated movie! The film involves many legendary folks, including the big guy himself. Yes, Santa Claus. Don't let his Russian accent and tattoos fool you. This Santa Claus is just as kind as any other. Why is he number five then? Well since the movie came out only a couple years ago, and it wasn't even super famous at that, not many people know about this Santa Claus. Still, he is undeniably cool compared to other Santas.
The first release of the film was in 1947, but the remake that was made in 1994 is the one I'm most familiar with. Kris Kringle is a super helpful guy, taking the place as Cole's Santa Claus for the holidays. What's more cooler than having the real Santa around in person and not even knowing it? I hate the idea of a Santa Claus who wants publicity. Let the magic of Christmas stay a secret!
So, Jack isn't exactly the right person for this job. Holding the title of Pumpkin King just isn't enough for him. But, you've got to admit he put a lot of thought into this new role of Santa Claus. With the help of his fellow Halloween Town friends, he has his own sleigh, suit, and presents to give to all the children of the world. Jack isn't a bad guy, he just celebrates Christmas in a different way. I think he deserves to be on this list because of how dedicated he was to the job! Yet, he is still better off as the Pumpkin King.
Scott Calvin did not want to be Santa Claus. As much as he denied it at the beginning of the film, he really turned himself around by the end. Not only did his looks change, but his heart did as well. This non-believer became the real deal! Who knew that Scott would be such a good Santa? It's all thanks to Charlie of course, who kept pushing him to take on responsibility. Still, this Santa Claus has a good heart and ends up taking his job very seriously.
The number one Santa Claus is...
Alright, so I have watched all of the Rankin/Bass Christmas specials, even the ones that are not as well-known. There are a few different versions of Santa depending on the cartoon. My most favorite one is Kris, later called Santa Claus, from Santa Claus is Comin' To Town. This movie touches on how the legend came to be. From the very beginning, Kris is a positive, caring, and determined guy. He doesn't let the risk of getting arrested because of a silly law scare him. His dedication as Santa Claus shows that he is perfect for the job.
That is my Top 5 Favorite Santa Clauses of All Time!
So what do you think? Do you have a favorite Santa Claus from TV, film, games, or anywhere else? Let me know!
