(2002-11-21) — Consumer groups are calling on the Federal Government to force a recall of the Disney sequel, The Santa Clause 2, because many customers complain of slipping into a trance-like state while viewing the film.
“I loved the first Santa Clause movie, and I love Tim Allen,” said an unnamed viewer who suffered drowsiness, and a general sense of malaise as a result of viewing the film. “Something went horribly wrong within the first minute, and it got worse and worse. I began to lose consciousness. At first I thought someone had gassed the theater. People were passed out everywhere. It was scary.”
An unnamed source, who served as Best Boy Key Dolly Grip Gaffer on the project, said a government recall won’t help.
“There’s really nothing we can do to fix it,” he said. “If we edit it down to the good stuff, we wouldn’t have enough film to make a 30-second commercial.”
Disney responded by announcing plans to release The Santa Clause 3 in time for Christmas 2003.
