ByteME
In response to ByteME's comment: Have you ever even seen this holiday special? If not what right do you have to freaking critize it? And what do you mean by it's another example of total crap getting special treatment? So now just because you think this show is horrible that it shouldn't be out on DVD for those who might actually enjoy it?
It is a great movie, another example of Rankin/Bass's great animagic production, about Jack Frost the spirit of winter who lives down with the people of January Junction. He falls in love with a pretty maid named Elisa, and asks Father Winter to be turned human in order to stay human he must get a house, a bag of gold, and a wife before his time runs out. Along the way he must battle with the evil King Kubla Kraus, all the time trying to win Alisa's heart. It is a great tale of love and friendship.
Summary of Jack Frost
A 1979 Rankin-Bass, stop-motion animated program similar to Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Jack Frost is a classic winter tale of good and evil, hope and despair, and love and sacrifice that will captivate viewers 5 and older. Narrated by Pardon-me-Pete Groundhog (Buddy Hackett) and framed as an exploration of the tradition of Groundhog Day, the music-filled Jack Frost is actually the story of young sprite Jack Frost who, under Father Winter?s leadership, is responsible for bringing winter weather to the world. Felt, but never seen, a lonely Jack begs to become human when he falls in love with January Junction resident Elisa. Father Winter grudgingly grants Jack Frost a winter of humanity, warning that in order to remain human forever, he must acquire the four essentials of a home, horse, bag of gold, and wife by springtime. Finding these essentials requires that Jack Frost overthrow the evil King of the Cossacks Kubla Kraus, a mission that is difficult and dangerous. Even with the help of fellow sprites Snip the snowflake maker and Holly the snowflake gypsy, Jack must make a very significant personal sacrifice in order to remove Kubla Kraus from power and ensure the continued well-being of Elisa and January Junction. Bonus features include three "Totally Cool Crafty Creations" with Francine Flake (cutting snowflakes, making a snow globe, and creating instant snow) and the three sing-along-songs ("Jack Frost," "Just What I Always Wanted," and "The Groundhog Song") accompanied by movie footage and onscreen lyrics. --Tami HoriuchiSimilar DVD Movies
