The Santa Clauses (2022)
Come on guys, this is pretty good!
'The Santa Clauses' does a great job capturing the whimsicalness and innocence that the first two movies had, as well as being just as funny. Though I won't go so far as to say it was better then the first movie, I'd say it's about on par with the second one, which is still good.
The acting is great, especially on the part of Tim Allen (Santa) and Elizabeth Mitchell (Mrs. Claus), and it was nice to see Eric Loydd reprising his role as Charle, who is now grown-up. Despite the apparent lack of Curtis and Bernard, the show introduces us to several very likable new elf characters like Edie, Noel, and Betty (the latter of whom are a couple, which I think is cute), as well as to Santa's other two children, Sandra and Buddy.
Plotwise, it seems pretty solid, and honestly, after seeing the first two episodes, it's got me dying to find out what's going to happen in the next ones. Also, judging by what I've been seeing so far, it seems they may even end up fixing a major plot hole from the first movie, which I think would be awesome.
As for a certain group of haters out there, I will say this; the man is entitled to his own political views, and though you might not agree with those views, that doesn't mean you can't still admire him for being the talented actor that he is.
Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends: Oliver's Find (1998)
The best Oliver episode, In my opinion
An uplifting episode with a encouraging lesson to it. It tells of how, even though bad things might happen to us, those things may yet have a good outcome in the end.
I thought nighttime scenes in this episode were really well done, and the soundtrack was good too.
Personally I prefer Alec Baldwin over George Carlin as the voices for Oliver and Toad.
Thomas the Tank Engine & Friends: Henry's Forest (1992)
Hits like a breath of fresh air.
Everything about this episode is so beautifully and perfectly done, from the music to the narration. Has a very good moral too, which illustrates the beauty, but also fragility of the natural world.
This is probably my favourite episode of the whole show, and it's one that you genuinely feel good after watching.
