1994 Version
Six year old Susan Walker has doubts about childhood enduring miracle Santa Claus, until the man portraying Santa in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade claims to be the genuine article. Richard Attenborough is charming and twinkly as Kris Kringle. Mara Wilson is the little New York City girl who doesn't believe in Santa Claus until Kris persuades her otherwise. Elizabeth Perkins is her hardened mother, and Dylan McDermott plays the handsome lawyer next door who defends Kris during an insanity hearing. Starring Elizabeth Perkins, Richard Attenborough, Dylan McDermott and Mara Wilson.
Both versions are wonderful.
