"Callum is Nick's right-hand man, and they have a deep, almost family-like relationship. relationship. There's really no one like Johnson, he's truly a one-of-a-kind actor.

"As for how to show Santa Claus delivering the gifts made during the year to thousands of households overnight, the film's special effects supervisor J.D. Schwam revealed that Santa's sleigh in the film is 40 feet long (about 12 feet long). meters) and 20 feet wide (about 6 meters), “We basically built a spaceship that Nick can cruise around in. "
The sled is assembled from five parts and can be transported to various sets on a flatbed truck and reassembled on site. "It has two methods of suspension," Schwarm said. "We have a large six-axis motion platform , a pilot-like flight simulator. We put the entire sled on top and can raise and lower the sled 6 feet (about 1.8 meters) and tilt it 45 degrees in either direction. For the ground shots, we floated the sled on rubber pads that we called air spinners, so that the whole sled was like a hovercraft, floating on a layer of air."
" Everything in the movie is huge, and the reindeer become elephant-like beasts. The sled is as big as a small airplane. " Director Kasdan finally said, "We like to tell stories about love, family and redemption. What makes this movie special is not only its scale, fun, and big action sequences, but we also take you on a crazy fantasy adventure. We're going to scare you a little and hopefully make you laugh. But most importantly, we hope that in the end it will truly touch your heart. "
