I, Santa Claus is not your usual Christmas story, but it delivers a message of kindness and how an innocent boy changed the life of a would-be thief.
The storyline follow a thief who is caught in the midst of stealing by a blind boy, who mistakes him for Santa Claus. They get into a conversation and the thief puts back the money he was going to take. He is moved by Joseph's innocence and kindness.
This short is well produced with clear video and audio. The video capture was a challenge as it takes place at night inside a home - but we can see the characters clearly. The acting is what makes this film terrific - from both the thief and the boy, Joseph. They both deliver believable roles and make you feel they are the characters they portray. The set is a Christmas decorated living room. The background music is light and non-intrusive. I like everything about this, but the message is really the best part.
The film's message is about changing your ways when you realize that they don't represent the "best of who you are."
I give I, Santa Claus 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
