Tim Allen addresses that big plot hole in the original The Santa Clause.
The Santa Clauses is the long-awaited limited series that continues the story of Tim Allen's Scott Calvin AKA Santa Claus. The actor first played the role in The Santa Clause back in 1994, and there's one moment that many fans have questioned over the years. One of the Internet's favorite jokes has been how messed up it was that Allen's character accidentally killed the original Santa.
"I never understood, even in the movie, why the elves, when I showed up at the North Pole didn't go, 'Hey what happened to the other guy?' You know, I just hop in the sleigh with the kid and we go off. No one ever asks, 'Where's- does Mrs. Claus know that the other guy is dead?' There were huge holes... So they, we came up with this script, The Santa Clauses. I have a family now. They end up doing all these, they fill up the holes in all this," Allen shared.
How Does Santa Claus Fit Into 2022? ComicBook.com also had the chance to chat with the new show's director, Jason Winter, and asked if there were any difficulties that came with modernizing Santa Claus. "As the director, and looking at what [writer/creator] Jack [Burditt] and the writers have done from the outside, what they've done a great job of is connecting things happening in the real world to the Santa Claus myth and how the feeling of disconnectedness we all have, and the idea that the growth of commercials, how it's all about getting and not giving, how all those things are maybe affecting Santa's magic.
What Is The Santa Clauses About?You can read the official synopsis of The Santa Clauses below:"Scott Calvin is back! After being Santa Claus for nearly thirty years, he's as jolly as ever. But as Christmas declines in popularity, so does his Santa magic. Scott struggles to keep up with the demands of the job, as well as being there for his family.

Tim Allen is 'Humbled' to Be Santa Again in Disney's 'The Santa Clauses'For Tim Allen, revisiting his iconic lead role in ‘The Santa Clauses’ (November 16, Disney+) was more than just creating 'content' for a nostalgic streaming audience. 'We had a great responsibility,” he told Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott on the Parting Shot. For Allen, who is 'humbled' to be 'reminded that I have been part of Santa Clause,' he wanted the new miniseries to 'make sense for the adults like me.' Part of that meant filling in some holes left by the original 1994 film, ‘The Santa Clause.’ 'There's a wonderful scene where I meet up and get kind of chastised by all the other Santas that have come and gone.' But ultimately what makes the role so relatable is 'it's about a guy's journey and about making sacrifices.' That's something Allen can relate to, given that his wholesome onscreen persona can be at odds with his onstage comic image. For Allen, who says sometimes 'censorship is required,' it's about how you communicate. 'There are better words than the F bomb. I can't think of them, but there are other ways to say that. It is possible to be very intelligent and yet still be very firm with your words.'
