10 Family Films That Secretly Brainwashed You

6. The Santa Clause (1994)

The Santa Clause In the early-to-mid 90s, Tim Allen was doing alright. The whole world watched him on Home Improvement, and there wasn€™t a person alive who didn€™t consider the name Tim Allen to be synonymous with testosterone. But this was not enough for the Pro Tim Allen faction secretly working behind the scenes, so they came up with a new scheme: make Tim Allen a staple of Christmas, even more so than mistletoe or our Lord and Savior. And it worked! Just as whenever you think of Stanley Kowalski you think of Brando, so it is with Tim Allen and Santa. Never before and never since has a human being given such a magnificent portrayal of that seasonal demigod. Thanks to the unstoppable brainwashing in The Santa Clause, Tim Allen IS Christmas.
