The Snowman. Santa vs. The Snowman tells the story of a lonely Snowman who at first is swept away by the magical wonders of Santa's Village, only to ultimately wage war on Santa because he's jealous of all the attention Santa gets during Christmas time. An epic-scale polar war develops. The hilarious battle features such holiday defence mechanisms as hot chocolate squirt guns, giant Igloo Robot Walkers and even a 50-foot tall toy soldier manned by Santa himself. -- © IMAX Corporation

Critic Reviews
-
Desson Thomson, Washington Post
Sweet-natured fun for the very young.
-
Catherine Foster, Boston Globe
Oedekerk ... and his team have taken the traditional animation techniques to another level -- creating snowflakes that seem to fall into the audience -- and they pull the viewers into the film.
-
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press
Harmless entertainment for kids and just smart enough to appeal to parents.
-
Matt Weitz, Dallas Morning News
The action sequences are fun and reminiscent of combat scenes from the Star Wars series.
-
Donald Liebenson, Chicago Tribune
The movie has an avalanche of eye-popping visual effects.
