Hooray for Santa Claus! This is and "Muppet Christmas Carol" are my two favorite Christmas movies. Yes, it's night and day between the two, but SCCTM has a charm to it that just makes me happy.
The thing is the movie, despite its cheese, is actually an oddly original concept that would actually be cool and fun if done with better acting, SFX, costumes, etc. I like this movie, unironically. It's cheap, stupid and goofy but it has charm and heart and is something of a neat story. Also, John Call did a genuinely good job and was a very good Santa. He was a bit of a scatterbrain with a creepy laugh but he was a genuinely sweet, loving, positive, genuine Santa.
Anyone who considers this the worst Christmas movie ever made has obviously never seen the Mexican movie just titled Santa Claus or another movie called Santa Claus and the Ice Cream Bunny.
Thank you so much! I’m a big fan of the Rankin/Bass holiday specials and I always wanted to do a sendup of those- so this seemed like a perfect fit! Also, COVID? I hope you’re joking. In the case that you actually have it, that’s terrible, I’m sorry. Stay safe, and feel better, Todd!
I could see Phil Lord and Chris Miller (the team behind Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, The Lego Movie, the 21Jump Street films, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) remaking this into a much better, funnier, and bizarre (in a good way) animated film.
@@HemmasStudios_ thanks for the feedback! Yeah honestly that and a good chunk of the other movies on the list of those considered the worst should get more inventive remakes as well.
If Jim Carrey did play Dropo, that would make him Carrey's FOURTH green character that he's played (right next to the Grinch, the Riddler, and the Mask.)
Lyrics:S-A-N-T-A, C-L-A-U-S Hooray for Santy Claus! You spell it S-A-N-T-A, C-L-A-U-S Hooray for Santy Claus Hooray for Santy Claus Yay yay for Santy Claus He's fat and round, but jumpin' jiminy He can climb down any chiminy! When we hear sleigh bells ring Our hearts go ting-a-ling 'Cause there'll be presents under the tree Hooray for Santy Claus! Now all year long at the North Pole He's busy making toys But he knows just what you're doin' So you better be good girls and boys! Hang up that mistletoe Soon you'll hear Ho Ho Ho On Christmas Day, you'll wake up and you'll say Hooray for Santy Claus! Yay yay! Yay yay! Yay yay! HOORAY!!! Hang up that mistletoe Soon you'll hear Ho Ho Ho On Christmas Day, you'll wake up and you'll say Hooray for Santy Claus! S-A-N-T-A, C-L-A-U-S Hooray for Santy Claus! You spell it S-A-N-T-A, C-L-A-U-S Hooray for Santy Claus! Hoo-raaaaayy forrr Sannn-tyyyy Clauuuusss! Hooray for Santy Claus! my god this movie is unwatchable without mst3k and rifftrax 🎅🤶
Agreed. That movie was a slog. At least the Martian one was fun, funny, somewhat professionally done and had a couple of real actors in it. Also, a very catchy theme song.
Okay. I’ve watched this movie three times during the course of my life. Well, maybe four counting the MST3000 version. It isn’t the worst. Manos, Hands of Fate is the worst. Go ahead. Watch it. I dare you. Next to the worst is Cave Dwellers. Only watch the MST3000 version. Do not attempt this on your own. Next to that comes Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. SCTM features a theme song that will get into your head and drive down your IQ. There’s nothing special about the special effects - they are just effects. The dialogue will make you weep for the human race. I think everyone should see it at least once.

Am I actually watching this or am I having a covid fever dream right now
Love the claymation intro!

@@HemmasStudios_ it reminded me of Rudolph the red nosed reindeer the opening merry Christmas 🤶🎅
@@HemmasStudios_agreed 😊

Oh wow. That's an absolutely excellent idea. They'd be a perfect fit for something like this.

No no no. It would be like putting a laugh track on 2001 A Space Odyssey!
This channel deserves more subscribers. BTW, the outro is way too loud, maybe turn it down a bit next time?
Thank you so much for the kind words, and noted for next time :)
Every time I see Voldar I can't help but think of The Village People
Smash cut to a musical number set to the tune of Y-M-C-A where Voldar, Stobo, and Shim singing about capturing San-Ta-To-Day. :)
Or The Master from "MANOS"... or Frank Zappa or Freddie Mercury.
not gonna lie if i had seen this as a kid I woulda loved it. just so weird and kinda fun.
This movie is a real guilty pleasure of mine, lol

I once saw a DVD copy of this movie at a flea market, and I walked right past it.
Lyrics:S-A-N-T-A, C-L-A-U-S

'Cause there'll be presents under the tree
Hooray for Santy Claus!
Now all year long at the North Pole
He's busy making toys
But he knows just what you're doin'
So you better be good girls and boys!

Can you please talk about the cancelled Treasure Planet franchise please?
I can definitely look into it!
This reminds me of this cancelled Marvin the Martian movie
Heck, the Martians all look like The Great Gazoo.
I would have loved to have seen that.Marvin the Martian’s one of my all time favorite characters
Why was this movie even made
Unwatchable movie 😂
