TV Guide Magazine - Unnamed
Nevertheless, The Santa Clause is a charming, if mild, fantasy, distinguished by a gentle directorial touch that strikes a deft balance between dramatic and fantastic elements.

Los Angeles Times - Kevin Thomas
All of the film's technical and creative contributions are top-notch, but as it should be, it's the people who win us over. [11 Nov 1994 Pg. F10]

Washington Post - Desson Thomson
The personable star of the TV series "Home Improvement" turns this Walt Disney film around. He may not be as effervescent as, say, Robin Williams, but he's full of understated, ticklish charm.

Chicago Sun-Times - Roger Ebert
The Santa Clause (so named after the clause on Santa's calling card that requires Scott to take over the job) is often a clever and amusing movie, and there's a lot of fresh invention in it.

ReelViews - James Berardinelli
The Santa Clause isn't an unmitigated disaster, but it's also a whole lot less impressive than it could be.
