The last time we saw Bernard was in Santa Clause 2, where he tried his hardest to control a rebellious toy Santa and essentially run the entire operation while Scott was away. Though Bernard and the rest of the elves look like kids, they're actually far older than Santa himself, with Bernard being the oldest at about 900 years of age. Since he's the lead elf of the toy factory, Bernard is the one who shows Scott the ropes of being Santa and goes over all the nitty-gritty details in his surprisingly thorough contract that he agreed to when he put on Santa's suit. He almost succeeds, but Scott's holiday cheer is just too much for the frosty foe.ĭavid Krumholtz makes his long-awaited return to the franchise after being noticeably absent in The Santa Clause 3.īernard was the number one elf at the North Pole and one of the first elves that Scott meets when he arrives at the North Pole for the first time. Jack tries to get Scott to enact the "Escape Clause" which would make it, so Scott never became Santa. Scott is under a huge amount of stress this Christmas, more than usual because he and Carol have a new baby on the way, Carol misses her parents, and he has to babysit Jack Frost after he's been put under probation by the Magical Figures counsel after trying to hijack Christmas. There's also a subplot with an evil toy clone of Santa but oddly enough that's not too important.įinally, the last time we saw Scott Calvin was in The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006), where Santa goes toe to toe with the winter-based troublemaker, Jack Frost ( Martin Short). Using some Christmas magic and some of that jolly charm, Carol eventually falls in love with Scott and agrees to marry him. He finds one in the unlikeliest of places when he has to go to a disciplinary meeting for Charlie, now a rebellious teen, and meets Carol ( Elizabeth Mitchell), Charlie's cold and strict principal. This is because there was a clause in his contract (get it?) that states that if Scott wants to remain as Santa, he will need to find a Mrs. In The Santa Clause 2 (2002), Scott is slowly losing his Santa-related appearance and abilities. It takes a while for Scott to realize that this was all real, but eventually, with the help of Charlie, Scott puts his grumpiness to the wayside and fully embraces becoming Santa. Thinking this is all some sort of dream, Scott puts on Santa's coat and he and Charlie deliver the remaining toys. That thud came from Santa himself, and when Scott yells at the man, Santa falls to the ground and disappears. Charlie spends one Christmas with his real dad when they hear a thud on the roof. Calvin is currently reeling from a recent divorce where he and his ex-wife Laura ( Wendy Crueson) are constantly arguing over what's best for their son, Charlie ( Eric Lloyd). The original voice of Buzz Lightyear himself is back to play his version of Saint Nick after playing him in three feature films, starting with The Santa Clause (1994)Ĭertainly the most grounded entry in the series, the first Santa Clause film introduced audiences to Scott Calvin, a grumpy businessman who works at a major toy company.
