Santa is touched that the world's children are prepared to die to preserve one of his many villages, but instead enlists the services of Merlin (the greatest magician of them all!) to dispense of the wooden antagonist. This ogre expresses his anger with Mister Santa "For making children good, when I want them to be BAD, like ME!" Thankfully for us, Puss'n Boots takes matters into his own hands and gathers not only Santa's helpers and friends, but all of the children over all of the world, forging an army to engage the ogre in bloody battle. A very frightening ogre approaches the village, threatening to destroy Santa and ALL of his many villages. Like any film worth its salt, a compelling conflict grips the viewer shortly after the magical tour. The wonders of Merlin's dazzling magical capabilities are put on display from the get-go, when he pulls a magic handkerchief out of his sleeve and takes us on an enchanting tour of the village through the Fifth Dimension. Ferocious Wolf, the Easter Bunny, Puss'n Boots, Cinderella, and Merlin (the greatest magician of them all!) all make appearances. As with that film short, "Santaland" introduces us to several characters that you might not typically associate with Christmas. You may recall a Simpsons episode, where Principal Skinner plays a low-budget Christmas film for students titled "The Christmas that Almost Wasn't, but Then Was." That video, without question, was inserted to pay homage to this K. Santa's Magic Kingdom (or "Santaland," as its true fans call it) stands alone as a cinematic triumph, needing neither a Hollywood budget nor smooth editing to achieve immortality. (Because the people that made this didn't have the extra 5 bucks to make an Ogre costume heh.) Totally ridiculous, totally cheeseball, and lots of fun, especially since not many 'Santa's Workshops/Villages' seem to exist anymore. The 'plot' has the creatures and their Santa fighting off an Ogre, who is never actually seen.
Many bizarre creatures (Easter Bunnies, an ugly Cinderella (with a sickly green face thanks to faded film color), and a Merlin the Magician make appearances. The production value is laughable, coming off as a home-movie that had sound dubbed in later. (You'll notice that Santa says things like 'This is what you might see at one of my many villages', suggesting that it was meant to shown without any specific park being mentioned.) Basically, its meant as an introduction/commercial for such establishments. (Good ol' Something Weird Video.) Apparently it was made to be shown at various Santa's Villages and Santa-themed children's parks. 2005) airing on ComCast On Demand under the Something Weird section. I recommend this film to anyone that may have any dangerous delusions that the "friendly" characters of his youth are benign and jolly creatures that serve to enrich our lives. The vulcanized rubber tires on Cinderella's carriage are a profound reminder that the themes in the story continue to challenge us in the modern world, and the rail that keeps the malnourished reindeer from pulling Santa off the cement path is a magical homage to those glorious Victorian Christmases of old. the Giant Wooden Ogre the way the filmmakers originally intended. The original dialogue must not have really underscored the timeless conflict of Santa, Cinderella, Merlin, and Random Employees vs. It doesn't appear that the original script was even remotely close to what was eventually dubbed in. From the Stinky Skunk clearly spawned in hell to the rest of the morally depraved cast, this is one film sure to damage children emotionally for generations to come. This is one of the most terrifying films I've had the pleasure of seeing.
