You can buy a gift of the movie to yourself. Send it to your email and redeem the code. It will upgrade to 4k and port to MA in 4k.


Or you can buy a code with an iTunes redeem. Redeem the code and it will upgrade and port same as above.

The owners of the summer camp I went to were rich and showed this movie to the whole camp on a 35mm projector not long after the film's release. That must have been expensive.Also saw Raiders of the Lost Ark and Three Musketeers.

Correct! Patricia is the real name of the woman that played Tim Alan’s wife in home improvement, Jill!

Actually I have the whole uncut web-rip of the film downloaded to my computer (not piracy, I own the Blu-ray, DVD, and VHS). I'll upload the clip to YouTube when I can.

The framing sucks though, favoring the bottom.

Oh yeah. Never noticed that. Seemed to favor all sides actually.

I have a personal bias of being a kid then, but early 90s was just incredible for family movies and also golden age Nickelodeon. It was also a time when PG movies still had some bite and could be PG-13 if released more recently.

The Santa Clause was originally a Hollywood Pictures release (still credited and had their logo on theatrical and VHS posters) and initially rated PG-13. The weird but interesting backstory to this was Disney were still getting over the backlash of Nightmare Before Christmas the year prior (certain groups roasted them out on releasing "distasteful holiday movies"), and to avoid further controversy Disney made a few changes (mostly dialog redubs over a F-bomb and some quips about sex toys and ED) to get it to a PG. Since the new rating wouldn't fit the more older oriented Hollywood Pictures label, they shifted it to Disney and it became somewhat of a hit and turned into a franchise.

The Nightmare Before Christmas also ironically being a Disney release before shifting to the Touchstone name about a week after previews. Disney has shifted rating and brandings for other films before such as Splash (an initial Buena Vista release that was deemed not kid-friendly like Trenchcoat, so the Touchstone label was created specifically for it) and Gone Fishing (a Disney release that shifted to Hollywood a month before release because it's theme did not go over well with the family and kids test audiences).
