Santa Claus: The Movie (1985)

A long lost classic. Most people don't know what I'm talking about when I mention this film, as it flew under most's people's radars when it came out in 1985 (it bombed in theaters, only making half of it's $50 million budget back...even 25 years later!)

The film is like 2 movies in one, with the first half set hundreds of years ago, dealing with the creation of Santa, then fast forwarding to 1985 where an elf named Patch gets involved with an evil toymaker who is set on destroying Santa forever. I'm sure you know how this turns out!
