Trivia
.
Toy Santa`s line, "You are a sad, strange little man," is also used by Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story (1995) Also when the Toy Santa says "I think Santa feels a little Buzz!" is from him being "Buzz Lightyear" in Toy Story.
Originally subtitled "The Escape Clause".
On the back wall of the little girl`s room is a poster for the Disney cartoon "Kim Possible" (2002).
In the restaurant scene, you can hear extras in the background repeatedly saying the same thing, such as "Oh my God", "I`ll drink to that", and "Cheers".
When Santa is on his first date with the aspiring singer/songwriter if you look at her shirt the face of Santa is that of Tim Allen.
#
# Scott Calvin starts talking about cars and engines while talking to Carol Newman, and while walking through the toyshop, Santa picks up and tries on a tool belt. These reference to Tim Taylor, Tim Allen`s character on "Home Improvement" (1991).
Lucy has a Kim Possible poster in her room when the Tooth Fairy comes inside from the window.
Late in the movie, when Scott is mostly "de-Santafied", he captures the Tooth Fairy. The Tooth Fairy, doubting that Scott is Santa Claus, tells him "I know Santa Claus. I`m friends with Santa Claus. You`re no Santa Claus." This is a parody of Lloyd Bentsen`s famous retort to Dan Quayle during the 1988 US Vice Presidential debate.
In the opening credits, several Jack-in-the-Boxes pop open. The last one to open is the same type of Jack-in-the-Box that is seen numerous times in Elf (2003).
