The Santa Clause is a comedy Christmas movie released by Disney on November 11, 1994. Children who called a toll-free 800 number that was seen in the film discovered that it was actually a phone sexual hotline operated by American TelNet in Miami, Florida.[1] As a result, later home video releases were censored.[2]
