The Story of Santa Claus.

 

                                        The Story of Santa Claus.

There so many movies about Santa Claus but none really tell the story, 

this one has a really good story of how he met the elves and how 

Christmas came to be, if you want to watch a really good story with 

great animation this movie is for you. So, with that, lets get to the story 

shall we: 

The story opens in "Europe, a long time ago". Nicholas Claus, nicknamed 

"Santa" by his wife Gretchen, is a toymaker who wishes he could give a 

toy to every child in the world. It's explained that Nicholas grew up in 

the Angel's Island Orphanage, where he taught himself to make toys for 

the other children. However, Nicholas is now in debt because he gives 

away more toys than he sells. The Clauses are subsequently evicted by 

their greedy landlord, Mr. Minch, who subsequently forces Mrs. Claus to 

surrender her wedding ring as "payment".

Now penniless, Nicholas and Gretchen decide to take their remaining 

toys to the children at the Angel's Island Orphanage. However, their ship 

is caught up in a storm and they are miraculously transported to 

the North Pole. There they meet the elves, including wizardly elf Nostros, 

his son Clement, and the know-it-all elf girl Aurora. When Nicholas saves 

Clement's life, Nostros is forced to grant him a wish. Nicholas wishes 

that he could deliver toys to all the children in the world on Christmas. 

Nostros declares that this is impossible and trying to fulfill it will doom 

the elves by destroying their magic. However, the wish can't be taken 

back because it is now "etched among the stars".

Nicholas and Gretchen manage to recruit almost all the elves to help 

them. Soon they have built a toy factory and gotten to work. Nostros 

watches from afar, scoffing at their attempt to do the impossible and 

forbidding Clement from involving himself. Clement sneaks out to help 

anyway. On the big day, Aurora realizes Nicholas will have to be 

accompanied by a magical expert on his trip. She goes to Nostros, but he 

refuses. After thinking about it for a while, he changes his mind and goes 

to the toy factory to help Nicholas.

As their voyage around the world ends, Nicholas insists they make a 

stop at the Angel's Island Orphanage. He gives a young boy a knife so 

that he may whittle toys for the others as Nicholas once did. Once they 

return to the North Pole, Nostros and the other elves vote to bestow 

"honorary elfhood" upon the Clauses, making them immortal. Nicholas 

declares that they shall do this again every year forever and the elves 

cheer.
