A remake of the 1947 'feel good' classic, telling the heart-warming story of a young girl's desire for a fully-functional family, complete with a father and a baby brother. The girl, Susan, confides in Kris Kringle (Sir Richard Attenborough), the kindly old man who is acting as the grotto Santa in the department store managed by her mother. Kris Kringle, however, believes he is the genuine Santa Claus and this devotion to the cause makes him very popular indeed, leading to record profits for the store. This annoys rival retailers so much that they try to discredit the so-called Santa, leading eventually to a court case in which Kringle and his lawyer try to prove that he is the real thing. Review: A film not to be missed - This film is fab and hence I made the purchase which I have been meaning to do for an age. It arrived promptly as promised with no damage. Thank you Review: The best Christmas film available, good memories watching this as a kid, lovely film for the whole family to enjoy and cheap to - This film brings back so many memories and it makes me feel like a kid all over again. This one is the modern one (1994) of the old black and white original Miracle on 34th Street (1947). I recommend this one over the old 1947 original release as this is on DVD, in colour and younger children would probably hate the original 1947 (black and white) one if it's even still available to buy but children will love this and adults to!! Good memories of this film. All i'm going to say is buy it, there's no point in me telling you about the film incase you've not seen this film before. So to not disappoint all i'm going to says is, it's a lovely Christmas film for the family to watch and definitely makes your heart warm up and put you in the Christmas mood. It's cheap to buy and beats any modern Christmas film for sure.

Magical and heartwarming
About the magic of believing and the idea that dreams can come true... especially at Christmas. Susan has been brought up with her mother not to believe in Father Christmas, her Mum doesn't think her daughter should be lied to as she will be disappointed when she finds out the 'truth'. Susan seems confused and torn between her own childlike desire to believe and her mother's cynicism until a Father Christmas employed by the store claims to be the real thing. Can her mum suspend her doubts? Can believing in magic really make dreams come true at Christmas? Can Susan get the family she dreams of? Beautiful, one to smuggle up on the sofa and watch every Christmas. Relive Christmas as a child and the magic of believing.

Good fun !
Although not as cute as the 1947 version, this version is nevertheless a good remake. This blu-ray has excellent picture quality. It has English and French Audio, and English and Spanish subtitles, that's all. A greater selection of lanuages and subtitles would have been more desireable. Audio quality excellent.

A Christmas classic
This remake of Miracle on 34th Street is a solid version. Of course, in the original version, Santa wore a black and white suit, but here he goes for a red suit. I have never liked the newer colour suit. I find it clashes with too many wallpapers. This Santa is a mischievous fellow. The scene where he steals gifts from the department store is amusing. However, the best moment is when he goes into a nightclub and gets tipsy on too much sherry. Charming.
