I didn't remember it either, but according to Wikipedia they are in the third film too.bruno_wbt wrote:The Tooth Fairy (who is a man) and Mother Nature both appear in The Santa Clause 2 (I don't remember if they also appear in the third one)
Probably Tim Allen's character didn't die in that version but was unable to do his job one year due to an accident, for example. Other story elements maybe were also different in that version.bruno_wbt wrote:Sotiris wrote: That's interesting. It's strange Disney opted to do an original film over expanding a franchise. I wonder why plans for a 4th one fell apart. To be honest, I'd rather we got The Santa Clause 4 instead of Noelle.
I guess they didn't want to kill Tim Allen... and also, Charlie loves Christmas and being the next Santa Claus, he wouldn't let her little sister being Santa...
Personally, I think I prefer they adapted it as an original film. I didn't love Noelle, but I found it entertaining and Anna Kendrick's character was likeable. I think I liked it a bit more than Godmothered.
