The santa clause 2 [ ].

Curtis is first seen in The Santa Clause 2 as the Number 2 elf, second in command under Bernard . He is also the keeper of Santa's handbook, and has overlooked an important detail in the rules of Christmas: Santa must find a wife by Christmas Eve or be forced to give up his powers as Santa.

Curtis makes a toy version of Santa to fill in while Santa must leave the North Pole to deal with his son Charlie 's bad behavior. However, when Toy Santa decides to give everyone coal for Christmas and creates an army of toy soldiers to stop any of the elves who get in his way, Curtis leaves the North Pole to bring the real Santa back to stop him.

After Curtis discovers that Santa is unable to return to the North Pole because he used up all of his magic, he tries to think of ways to return. Upon discovering Lucy has lost a tooth, they tell her to put it under her pillow, realizing they can return to the North Pole with help from the Tooth Fairy.

Upon their return, Toy Santa has them tied up and imprisoned in the workshop. Charlie, the Tooth Fairy, and Carol all show up to help Santa and the elves defeat Toy Santa.

Later, Curtis attends Santa and Carol's wedding and watches as Santa and Charlie fly off to deliver toys.

The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause [ ]

Curtis has become Head Elf and assists Santa in making sure all the toys are made in time before Christmas.

Curtis discovers that the Council of Legendary Figures has called an emergency meeting at the North Pole, and goes with Santa to the meeting. There, they discover that Jack Frost has been trying to upstage Santa. Jack is placed under Curtis' command after he asks for another chance and Santa allows him to help out around the North Pole.

Later Curtis sees that Jack has messed up some signs he was trying to help put up. After Jack asks him about the Escape Clause, and Curtis tells him its classified information, Jack taunts him, saying only Santa would know anyway, and that Santa probably doesn't even trust Curtis with that information. Angered, Curtis accidentally reveals the process of how the Escape Clause works, allowing Jack to discover a way to get rid of Santa.

Later he cautions the Millers against interfering with the toy-making process when they visit the North Pole. He also handles a few more mishaps that happen around the workshop.

After Jack uses the Escape Clause to make himself Santa and turn the North Pole into a tourist attraction, Curtis is still employed at the North Pole, working as a salesman. After Santa demands to see Jack, Curtis calls for security.

When Santa fixes what Jack did and restores the North Pole to what it should be, Curtis resumes his position as Head Elf, with no memory of the alternate timeline that had occurred. He discovers Lucy had been locked in a closet by Jack after he freezes her parents. He watches as she thaws Jack's heart, making him good.

The Santa Clauses [ ]

Curtis does not appear, but he is mentioned in the season two finale " Chapter Twelve: Wanga Banga Langa ". It is revealed that sometime between after the third film and the series, he went on his Kribble Krabble (mandatory Earth vacation for elves), and never came back, implying that he chose to live out the rest of his life as a human, much like Bernard.

Biography [ ]

Curtis became the second elf in charge, under Bernard . Shirking his responsibilities, he decided to listen to Christmas songs in Santa's sleigh, causing the North Pole to nearly be discovered by outsiders. Following this, Curtis followed Bernard and Santa around the workshop, the former two attempting to give the latter bad news. Once Bernard managed to divulge that his son Charlie had made the naughty list, Curtis informed Santa that he had erroneously forgotten to tell his boss about a further cause to his Santa Claus contract - that he needed to get married, or lose his position as Santa. With Santa at a loss as to how to keep the North Pole running alongside going to deal with his issues, Curtis offered a solution - a machine he had built, that could replicate Santa. After watching a rat accidentally run into the machine, Santa himself stepped in, being followed out the other side by a toy-like duplicate . [1]

As Santa headed off from the North Pole, Bernard and Curtis helped the Toy Santa acclimatize to his stand-in role. Curtis gave him a book of rules to read up on, in order to carry out his job. As he intensely read the book, Toy Santa began to notice that many rules weren't being followed. Curtis attempted to distract him by suggesting that he have some fun, but the Toy Santa brutally knocked down a number of elves in a game of tinsel football, not understanding the concept of the game. Over the next few weeks, Toy Santa became more obsessed with the rules, and insisted that he needed to double check the naughty and nice list, despite assurances that Santa had already done that. Deciding that even minor infractions couldn't be looked over, Toy Santa determined that every child deserved coal, and enlisted the help of some enlarged toy soldiers to act as muscle to enforce this regime change. Unclear how to fix the situation, Curtis visited Santa, urging him to return to the Pole to help fix the situation. With a fattened Comet unable to take them back, they attempted to remove a tooth from Scott through various means, to no avail. Lucy suddenly announced she'd lost a tooth, and placed it under her pillow. As the Tooth Fairy arrived to collect the tooth, he was caught by the wings. After some convincing that Scott was the Santa he knew, despite no longer looking the same, the Tooth Fairy flew Santa and Curtis back to the North Pole. They entered through Santa's office, hoping to catch them by surprise, but were met by the enlarged toy soldiers and promptly tied up. [1]

They were soon saved by Charlie and Carol , Scott's recent love, before Scott flew off on trainee reindeer Chet to stop Toy Santa from leaving with coal in the sleigh. At the same time, the elves all joined together to overthrow the toy soldiers, and were successful, along with Scott, bringing an end to the Toy Santa's reign. Scott subsequently proposed to Carol, and they were married, officiated by Mother Nature . [1]
