Has anyone seen Santa Who?, starring Leslie Nielson as Santa Clause? It seemed like the type of film made especially for Tv, but I managed to get it on DVD for three pounds. It wasn't great I must say. It was like a lot of other Christmas movies in one. Leslie Nielson did play a good part though. I would recommend it just for seeing him play Santa.

Buster & Chauncey's Silent Night:

This is a nicely animated musical that's loosely based on the true story of the composition of "Silent Night" in 1818 by Father Joseph Mohr and Choirmaster Franz Gruber. It's Christmas Eve and mouse-icians Buster and Chauncey are on their way to the town of Oberndorf to sing for the Queen. The whole town is a flutter with preparations, so imagine Burghermeister Huffenmeir's distress when the Duke of Raoche and his niece Lady Gretchen arrive a day early. Also newly arrived is Christina, an orphan girl on her way to Vienna in hopes of finding her aunt and uncle. When the Oberndorf treasure is found missing, all clues point to Christina, who steadfastly denies the charge. Father Joseph believes the girl, but it's up to Chauncey and Buster to prove her innocence and apprehend the real thieves. In the end, the Christmas celebration with the Queen is not as lavish as originally planned but proves much more meaningful. The town discovers that the true meaning of Christmas is not fame or fortune but friendship, sharing, and giving, and they celebrate their new wisdom by singing "Silent Night," a Christmas song composed by Father Joseph and Franz on that tumultuous Christmas Eve. This musical is full of compelling songs written by such great musical composers as Stephen Flaherty, Lynn Ahrens, Barry Harman, and Keith Herrmann. Voice talents Phil Hartman, Marie Osmond, and Tom Arnold add much to an already great production. What a wonderful way to communicate the meaning of Christmas.

I recorded Buster and Chauncy years ago and I still have it. I thought it was pretty good. I know my kids are old enough now to appreciate it!

One Of My Favorites is on maybe a few times it was a Made For TV movie on NBC Christmas of 1988, its called I'll Be Home For Christmas , it stars Hal Holbrook and Eva Marie Saint and a very young Courtney Cox, it takes place in Rockport Massachusetts during Christmas of 1944, it is one of my all time favorites its a touching very real story of a Family's loss and also the joy of a new life, its very well done and a good portrait of Family life during WW2

Kelly Ann, is that the one where he loses his identity? I saw that, you are right it wasn't great, but worth watching

that's the one!! I bought The Night They Saved Christmas today starring Art Carney as Santa. This was made in 1984. Apart from the really rubbish looking, fake and badly animated reindeer (what a mouthful) it turned out to be a very lovely film. I recommend this. Anyone else seen this?:thumbsup:cheesy
