Directed by Nicholas Webster. Starring John Call, Leonard Hicks, and Vincent Beck. USA, Color, 86 minutes.I know Christmas is over, but here's my Yuletide movie. And it sucks.
When Kimar, Leader of the Martians (Leonard Hicks) finds his Martian children to be addicted to Earthling television, he decides to kidnap Santa Claus and bring him to Mars to make Martian children happy. When he deploys his spacecraft and lands on Earth, he encounters two children (Victor Stiles, Donna Conforti) who accidentally let slip the location of Santa Claus' workshop. Can Santa stop the Martians' nefarious plan, or will he be forced to make Martian toys for Martian children forever?
I'm a casual fan of bad movies, and I often indulge in one when I'm in the mood, but this one was just too much. It was obviously written for children (probably by children) and little or no time was given to produce it. It provided a few cheap laughs, and the theme song was incredibly catchy, but too much time was spent focusing on plot twists that involved "Yuletide Cheer" and "Santa's Magic".
Do yourself a favor and watch It's a Wonderful Life on Christmas instead.
Klaatu barada nikto!
Ooh, Santa was kidnaped by Martians!
