Eagle-eyed fans of The Santa Clause have recently discovered a hidden detail in the beloved 1994 Disney classic.
Fans of the film, released almost three decades ago, have just now noticed a secret detail that has sparked a "sinister" theory. The Santa Clause, starring Hollywood actor Tim Allen as Scott Calvin, tells the story of a man who becomes Santa Claus after the original Santa falls off his roof.
What fans have only just noticed is that many of the "children" who appear in the movie actually have elf ears. This has led to speculation that Santa had a network of undercover elves working for him all along, and some believe that they may have orchestrated his fall from the roof.
One movie buff took to TikTok to share his findings. In a video, he points out several scenes where these secret elf "children" can be seen. From a little girl in the opening credits with hidden elf ears, to another child eyeing Scott and Charlie in a restaurant, one sitting behind Charlie in his school classroom, and one queuing up on the sports field - these hidden details have astonished fans.
However, not everyone is thrilled with the idea of Santa's secret minions. Some have expressed their concern and disbelief on TikTok, suggesting that the presence of these hidden elves before Scott became Santa Claus implies a sinister plot twist. Some even believe that the previous Santa's fall was not an accident, but rather orchestrated by these elves.
The Santa Clause Legacy
The Santa Clause went on to become a three-part movie franchise. The original film won a People's Choice Award for Favorite Comedy Motion Picture, and Eric Lloyd, who played Charlie, received multiple award nominations for his acting.
Disney capitalized on the success of the first film and went on to make two more Santa Clause movies.
