A wonderful story of Santa before he was so famous.
Movie Reviews
Hume Cronyn IS Saint Nicholas!!!
10/14/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)
"Hume Cronyn appeared in many wonderful motion pictures but I will remember him always as Saint Nicholas (on his way to becoming Santa!) in "Santa and Pete". James Earl Jones and the entire cast made this a most memorable story. Congratulations to all involved in this truly wonderful rendition of the St. Nicholas story."
Really nice Christmas movie

"What a wonderful story. Being an immigrant from The Netherlands, the story of 'Santa' and Pete (Sint and Piet) is all to familiar. It is great to see how they link Saint Nicolas to the North American Santa. A must see during the holiday season."
Don't miss seeing this movie!!!

"I first saw this movie about three years ago on network TV. I was lucky enought ot record it then but hated fast forwarding through the commercials again and again. I loved it and never thought of looking here to find it.
It is a wonderful story that give a neat little insight on where Santa got some of his stuff like flying reindeer. I highly recommend see this movie."
Should Be a Christmas Classic for Kids
Artist & Author | Near Mt. Baker, WA | 12/27/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)
"If you are looking for a very imaginative Christmas movie, this one is for you and your kids. Okay, I admit that it plays the facts quite loosely, but the story is so clever this movie should be a Christmas classic. It follows St. Nicholas from ancient times through all the nooks and turns that it might have taken to arrive at the modern traditions of Santa Clause. Parents will laugh at some of the imaginative ways this movie conceives for the origin of Santa traditions, and kids will love the story just because it is the story of Santa!"
A Good Christmas Movie!

"I first saw the Christmas movie Santa ad Pete last December of 2004 and I liked it. I have heard that this was based on a Dutch book though I have never read the book. The movie is about Saint Nicholas (Santa Claus) and is African friend Pete who helps him give out gifts. This is a good Christmas movie and I'm glad it's on DVD. BTW: If you liked this movie Santa and Pete also check out the movie Off Season in which Hume Cronyn also plays Sana Claus."
