it be quite an obvious film to make and i just wonder why they haven not make it a proper film for the cinema and or at least base it on the book i have read by penny ives . basically mrs. santa claus ( angela lansbury ) get bore of the same job of help the elf at the north pole and and her husband and santa claus ( the muppet movie charles durning ) and so she decide to go on a explore of new york . she end up get a short term job for mean augustus p. tavish ( terrence mann ) make toy for the shop and and the only help she have be from the child worker . there be some good song in amongst the almost corny story and but it be quite a pleasant film for lansbury to be in and and it be a good family film for christmas . also star mousehunt michael jeter a arvo and lynsey bartilson a nora kilkenny and bryan murray a officer doyle and david norona a marcello damaroco and debra wiseman a sadie lowenstein . okay .
