Thanks to his role in 1994 Santa ClauseTim Allen has become a staple for many holiday seasons, bringing joy and laughter to families like both Scott Calvin and Santa. Nearly 30 years later, the 2022 TV schedule Sees Allen returning for Disney+ Santa ClauseNew limited series. Although the prospect still brought out the “maverick” side in the prolific sitcom actor, there was a particular hook that made him excited to return to the role.
Literally going back to prosthetics and makeup that make him look like Santa is part of the job Tim Allen has to make him not happy. I learned this fact firsthand thanks to talking to Allen and his daughter/star Elizabeth Allen Dick during Disney + (Opens in a new tab) Press day for the six-episode series.
It’s been 16 years since the actor last performed as a holiday icon in 2006 Santa Claus 3: Escape Clause. With that much time gone by, and before Tim Allen’s recent remarks about how the movie “infected” the franchise’s fame, I asked how it felt to be back in the game. Answering that question in pure Tim Allen style, here’s what CinemaBlend had to say:
I didn’t think of it, because my wife warned me. [She] He said, “You didn’t like that last one.” [time, and] Literally every movie. It’s not that I didn’t like him, he’s just a maverick guy, and it’s annoying to get into this stuff and stay in it for 11 hours. They’re better at it, just a little bit…it’s not much better. And the script was very good first and second [episode] – The person I saw, set all this up, and I said, “Wow.” Then he became, if you will, an artist, and I love that [it]. This is great material, and I can’t wait to get it on display.
Looking at any particular shot of Tim Allen’s Santa Fe Santa ClauseYou can imagine the amount of work that went into making him look like what some might consider the “traditional” Santa. It’s even more contrast when you compare this look to that of Scott Calvin, the default look of Tim Allen’s main franchise once he leaves the North Pole. Unlike the nice guy in the arctic, Allen kept himself in pretty good shape.
But just like any of us, once the holiday magic took over the Disney legend, everything was in it. Even when answering the question, you can feel Tim Allen shifting gears from any initial awe to pure happiness. Continuing to explain what this opportunity means to him, here’s how Allen fell short describing his magic Santa Clause:
We got together with the awesome crew, deck, everyone, about it. You have to understand how much work it was, because it’s a movie, but it was shot like a TV show. But it’s not really, it’s more like a movie. That’s where I wanted it to go, so we pushed it in that direction, so the deck and lighting combo is a treat for all of you to watch this. It’s a beautiful shot [we] You have to answer the questions, you get that fun, we go to different locations. It’s an amazing experience.
It doesn’t take long for my fans Santa Clause Films to capture the spirit of this saga anew. The North Pole looks as eccentric as ever, Santa still has a wild fireplace that looks like him in his bedroom, and the big guy still loves his snacks. Without spoiling anything though, the big Casey Wilson scene Santa Clause tractor Turns out it’s a great callback to the first movie, and you’ll see why in the very first episode.
Lots of puzzles are waiting for you Santa Clauselike how Bernard the Elf Chief is back, so it’s no surprise that Tim Allen won with this new entry. with a date Santa Clause Being an established part of The best Santa movies As ever, this new show might help extend that empire into the realm of television.
Those who are willing to get into the holiday spirit can do so, for example Santa ClauseThe first of two episodes is now available for streaming. You won’t have to turn away, rush away, rush away from the movies, though Disney + subscription It will serve as your gateway to the North Pole.
