    • Trivia
      George Clooney was originally attached to the project. When he left to do Batman & Robin (1997), Michael Keaton was cast into the lead role. Jim Henson's Creature Shop had designed their snowman animatronic specifically to Clooney's facial features and acting style.
    • Goofs
      When Jack and his son Charlie are riding the toboggan (to get away from the bullies), Jack breaks the toboggan into two halves and Jack and Charlie ride separate halves down the hill. When they reach the bottom, Charlie is on a real snowboard, not half of the toboggan.
    • Quotes

      Jack: My balls are freezin! I never thought I'd say THAT with a smile on my face.

    • Crazy credits
      There is a statement in the closing credits: "No snowmen were harmed in the making of this film."

    I admit it, I cried . . .
    Sorry everyone, but I liked this movie. I even cried at the end. My kids freaked when the snowman started to talk and move - one of them got scared by a guy in a teddy bear suit when she was about 3, and she hasn't got over it yet (2 yrs later). They had loved the start of the movie, with the snowball fight and building the first snowman, but as soon as the second snowman came to life we had to turn the video off.

    I couldn't believe in Kelly Preston as the mother of an 11-yr-old boy, but in spite of that the casting was great. And Michael Keaton with blond hair is such a hunk . . .

    Give it a go!
