Hi all, I watched this on a TV some afternoon in the 90s. I think it was aimed for teenagers, yet it freaked me out a bit.
One protagonist was a man playing Santa Claus in the stores. At some point he enters the train and he is alone in the wagon, apart from a single passenger in a hat, face invisible. He says sth like “I don’t want to end up alone” and some creepy voice answers “you already did” and the single passenger turns out to be a skeleton :O Both phases were not exactly like that in English, as I watched it dubbed.
Another scene I remember is when he was on duty playing Santa Claus, he asks a boy on his lap “what is your name” to which the boy rudely answers “Jack the Ripper, you fat man!” and tears his fake beard off. Another boy then runs home yelling that “[Name] torn Santa Claus beard off!”.
Long shot, I am aware đŸ™‚ Thanks everyone!
Solved thanks to reddit’s tipofmytongue – it was The Christmas Star 1986 Disney movie
Glad you found it and thanks for letting us know!
