Taking on the role of Santa Claus comes with plenty of problems for Scott Calvin in The Santa Clause, The Santa Clause 2 and Santa Clause The Escape Clause. After mocking the existence of the magical being, a rough-and-tumble hockey player is forced to do time as the Tooth Fairy. Leprechauns speak up when a businessman threatens their existence in The Gnome-Mobile.
Some other films that combine animation with live-action are the basketball movie Space Jam, the fairytale spoof Enchanted and fantasy adventures Pete’s Dragon and Bedknobs and Broomsticks. A little, long-eared forest creature turns out to have a nasty side in Hoodwinked.
