Plot Summary

Jack Frost is a singer who's on the road most of the time so he can't spend a lot of time with his son, Charlie, although they love each other very much. When Jack is killed in a car accident, Charlie becomes a very sad boy, until...Jack returns as a snowman. Now they can do all the things they've missed when he was human, but what will people think when they see Charlie talking to a snowman and what will happen when the weather gets warmer?

Did You Know?

Edit
Trivia George Clooney was originally attached to the project. When he left to do Batman & Robin (1997), Michael Keaton, who originated the Batman role in live action eight years earlier, was cast into the lead role. Before Keaton took over, Jim Henson's Creature Shop had already designed their snowman animatronic specifically to Clooney's facial features and acting style. See more »
Goofs When Charlie is building the snowman, he places a "The Jack Frost Band" button onto him and we see the red scarf. In the next shot, Charlie is putting the scarf onto the snowman. See more »

Quotes Charlie: But Dad...!
Jack: Butt Dad? Did you just call me Butt Dad? Is that the kind of thing Coach Gronic is teaching you guys? Butt Dad? By the way, that would make you Butt Boy.
Charlie: But...
Jack: [climbs into a car] Bye Butt Family!
