Santa Claus: The Movie/Headscratchers

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • B.Z's nail teddy bears. How did he get the nails inside the toys? Even with automation you still need to bring a significant number of workers, designers and managers in on this. Did none of them decide that this man was loopy enough that it was worth risking their job to preemptively call the police? Did no one realize that the obvious criminal charges that would be filed the moment someone found out (to say nothing of the civil suits)? For that matter, why did he do it? Did he not realize that this would financially ruin his company and drag its name so far into the mud that it would never see daylight?
    • Like everything he does, For the Evulz.
    • I would guess it was the director not knowing how expensive nails are, or possibly some excuse like BZ having just discovered a few pallets of old nails abandoned somewhere and thus using them because they were free (thus they're not just nails they're rusty nails).
