Stupidity: During the film's climax where Santa and his reindeer successfully ascend over Manhattan, the sleigh's rocket engine falls off and apparently is no longer needed. Isn't it rather risky (and foolish) to assume (or hope) that the other cities on his flight path have enough "belief power" to sustain him aloft for the rest of his journey?
