The Santa Clause 2(2002)
Scott Calvin has given sterling service as Santa Claus for nearly eight years and enjoyed every minute, but it might come to an end if he doesn't find a Mrs. Claus. For more about The Santa Clause 2 and The Santa Clause 2 Blu-ray release, see The Santa Clause 2 Blu-ray Review Starring: Tim Allen, Eric Lloyd, Judge Reinhold, David Krumholtz, Elizabeth Mitchell, Wendy Crewson Director: Michael Lembeck » See full cast & crew The Santa Clause 2 Blu-ray, Video QualityThe Santa Clause 2 was released in the same year as Sweet Home Alabama, another Disney catalog title I recently reviewed, and it too didn't benefit from a digital intermediate, but it looks a lot better on Disney's 1080p, AVC-encoded Blu-ray. No doubt part of the improvement is a function of the original cinematography by Adam Greenberg, whose trademark blacks and cyans were essential to the look of James Cameron's two Terminator films and can also be spotted in Eraser and the first Rush Hour. But overall the most likely cause is that SC2 received a superior (and perhaps more recent) scan. In any case, the image is sharp, clear and noiseless, with just a possible touch of grain reduction here and there. However, to the extent any grain reduction has been applied, it appears to have been done lightly with the kind of software tools that don't strip detail. You can see every pattern and strand on Dr. Neil's extensive and questionable sweater collection. Colors are bright, varied and saturated, especially at the North Pole, where everything is jolly, at least until the Toy Santa begins bringing in huge loads of coal. Then the transfer is good enough to show the impact as coal dust gets everywhere, darkening the realm of the elves until the real Santa returns to restore the reign of cheer, cookies and cocoa. The Santa Clause 2 Blu-ray, Audio QualityThe elves' workshop is the surround standout of SC2's DTS-HD MA 5.1 track. It's a fully active sonic environment, with the rear channels full of unseen elves talking and working on various projects involving all manner of tools. When the Toy Santa first tours the workshop, he goes running around it and his voice is heard off-camera from all directions. Several flying sequences provide some effective pans, beginning with the opening aircraft surveillance and ending with an old-fashioned stagecoach-style pursuit in mid-air between Toy Santa and the real Santa. The dialogue is always clear, and George Fenton ("Elf George", as director Lembeck calls him on the commentary) hasn't lost his touch for a score that evokes Christmas music without sounding like it belongs in an elevator.
