>>78191445>>every year I severely question the scene where Santa sings to that kid's father in his bedroom out of nowhereHe was trying to resuscitate a kid's faith while making his rounds on Christmas eve. What's not to get?
>>the lack of black peopleSome places, like the North Pole, and apparently South Town, don't have a distinguishable black demographic. It'd have made no difference if they shoehorned a few black background characters in or not, especially since it the movie seemed to take place in an era vaguely resembling the late 50's.
>>"Let's invite this sneezing old guy that our son just met in for dinner, and then break out into song"South Town's a friendly, tightly knit community that takes kindly to strangers. Southern hospitality, much?
>>Santa taking the doctor's opinion on anything not medical-relatedHe's known the guy since he was a kid, like he does with everyone else. Why wouldn't he take his opinions to heart?
>>Mickey Rooney used to be a respected actor, and then he was in a Ben Stiller movie before his deathA guy famous for doing kid's movies, still did kid's movies. Big fucking shocker.
