    • Trivia
      Macy's declined the offer for its name to be used in this movie, on account that it felt that "the original stands on its own and could not be improved upon". The department store was then renamed to Cole's.
    • Goofs
      When Kris tells the little girl his name in other countries, he states that in Italy his name is "La Befana", however, that is the name of the kind witch that flies around filling stockings on January 6th. His Italian name is "Babbo Natale".

    Good acting, great remake, wonderful Christmas movie

    I totally loved this movie, just as good, acted just as well, great cast. Sir Richard Attenborough was just the one for Kris Kringle. WOW! Dylan McDermontt does great and Elizabeth Perkins shines with beauty and performance. Mara Wilson pursues Natalie Wood with the spectacular role as the little girl in great perfection. I wish Natalie Wood could've lived to see her performance. This was an amazing movie. If you want to have a great Noel, rent both versions. They're so enjoyable
