Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
ThiefHott Too much of everything
Contentar Best movie of this year hands down!
BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
pres-speed My words cannot do this movie justice. Santa's Magic Kingdom (or "Santaland," as its true fans call it) stands alone as a cinematic triumph, needing neither a Hollywood budget nor smooth editing to achieve immortality.You may recall a Simpsons episode, where Principal Skinner plays a low-budget Christmas film for students titled "The Christmas that Almost Wasn't, but Then Was." That video, without question, was inserted to pay homage to this K. Gordan Murray masterpiece.As with that film short, "Santaland" introduces us to several characters that you might not typically associate with Christmas. Mr. Ferocious Wolf, the Easter Bunny, Puss'n Boots, Cinderella, and Merlin (the greatest magician of them all!) all make appearances. The wonders of Merlin's dazzling magical capabilities are put on display from the get-go, when he pulls a magic handkerchief out of his sleeve and takes us on an enchanting tour of the village through the Fifth Dimension.Like any film worth its salt, a compelling conflict grips the viewer shortly after the magical tour. A very frightening ogre approaches the village, threatening to destroy Santa and ALL of his many villages. This ogre expresses his anger with Mister Santa "For making children good, when I want them to be BAD, like ME!" Thankfully for us, Puss'n Boots takes matters into his own hands and gathers not only Santa's helpers and friends, but all of the children over all of the world, forging an army to engage the ogre in bloody battle. Santa is touched that the world's children are prepared to die to preserve one of his many villages, but instead enlists the services of Merlin (the greatest magician of them all!) to dispense of the wooden antagonist.A very cocky Merlin (the greatest magician of them all!) accepts his mission, as he has "just the medicine that ogre needs." The nature of this medicine is unclear (presumably a liquid or powder) but its effectiveness is quite apparent. Soon after Merlin (the greatest magician of them all!) leaves to engage the monster, we can hear the screams of "No Merlin, don't throw that at me! NOOO!!" Unscathed and victorious, Merlin (the greatest etc.) struts back into the village to the cheers and jubilation of Santa and his helpers. You can imagine how his night went… let's just say he didn't need to open a bottle of Love Potion #9.In closing, we are serenaded by Cinderella to the tune of "Give a Little Whistle," her voice angelic. Viewer beware, this infectious little tune is likely to get stuck in your head, so listen with caution.What else can be said, Santaland has it all! Whether you're looking for inert villains made of wood, a self-professed "greatest magician of them all" whose magic is limited to bizarre tours of Santaland, creepy non-Christmas-related characters in crappy costumes, or even a mall Santa who looks like he's been dead for 30 years, this film has it! The only way to top this movie would be to follow it up with a giant slice of cyanide cake.http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1645509695606665563 - Santaland meets We are the World - a musical tribute.
kitkat981 Santa's Magic Kingdom has the look and feel of a bad, experimental student film. It has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas, despite featuring Santa and his reindeer and being shot in a snow village amusement park (in the middle of summer). What little plot there is involves an ogre (portrayed by Big Wooden Dinosaur) attacking the village, although we never actually see it for more than a few seconds. Merlin's battle with the ogre takes place entirely off camera, while the townsfolk stand around and vacantly look at each other instead of reacting, which I think is what's meant to happen. However, when its over, the jubilation goes on for what seems like five minutes. Puss n'Boots is another main character in this lackluster tale, as well as the narrator. Other familiar faces such as Mrs. Claus (in horn rimmed specs) and the Easter Bunny, as well as some unfamiliar ones, such as Stinky the Skunk make cameo appearances. The highlight of the production comes at the very end when Pretty Princess sings a song that has no melody and is joined by the inhabitants of the village in a chorus of whistling.
sdribble This film is currently (Dec. 2005) airing on ComCast On Demand under the Something Weird section. (Good ol' Something Weird Video.) Apparently it was made to be shown at various Santa's Villages and Santa-themed children's parks. (You'll notice that Santa says things like 'This is what you might see at one of my many villages', suggesting that it was meant to shown without any specific park being mentioned.) Basically, its meant as an introduction/commercial for such establishments.The production value is laughable, coming off as a home-movie that had sound dubbed in later. Many bizarre creatures (Easter Bunnies, an ugly Cinderella (with a sickly green face thanks to faded film color), and a Merlin the Magician make appearances. The 'plot' has the creatures and their Santa fighting off an Ogre, who is never actually seen. (Because the people that made this didn't have the extra 5 bucks to make an Ogre costume heh.) Totally ridiculous, totally cheeseball, and lots of fun, especially since not many 'Santa's Workshops/Villages' seem to exist anymore.
plezica I found this short movie to be rather amusing. It all started when I purchased a weird looking tape labelled "Rudolph" at Value Village for a couple of dollars. The first half of the tape was cartoons and such but at the end of the tape, I found the hidden secret of Santa's Magic Kingdom. Immediately after watching it my chest grew painful from laughing. This film also has a creepy touch to it though. This is supposed to be a childrens movie but all I see is a low budget film based upon a weird village out in the middle of nowhere, filled with horribly dressed christmas characters and some with no relation to any aspect of christmas at all. The zero dollar budget effects and eerie soundtrack really add to the "what the hell am I watching" factor. This film is a must see but only because you have no idea what you're missing if you don't.
