The writer of this story used familiar sounding names for the main characters to better help children identify with them. The story has somewhat of a generic feel to it. However it tackles many things children enjoy. It has a magical snowman (Frosty??), a magical kingdom (oz???), (an evil doer Wicked witch of the west???). the main character is named Emory Elizabeth (clifford the big red dog ???). The story is a fun story with a lesson about inner strength, and sibling love and relationships. The older brother does seem wise beyond his years, even more so than the dr and the paents, but I think my children better identified with a child being the hero than an adult. My son will watch this story literally 3 times a day if we let him, and wont so much as move a muscle while doing so, and thats saying alot, because he goes 100 miles an hour the rest of the time. So the story must hit home with him (he is 2 years old, and loves snow so I think this may be his connection). Don't buy it unless you want to watch it over and over, this is actually my second copy as I lost the first (mistakenly sent it to netflix instead of I am ledgend so if you rented I am ledgend and got snowden, sorry about that).Read full review
This video is quite charming. It's the story of a young girl, who is very ill. Her brother Landon learns that if she doesn't find a reason to keep going she might die. He builds a snowman (Snowden) outside her window and uses him to weave a tale that he will only tell her in parts, after she has eaten and rested. It's a great story of family love and something everyone can enjoy.
This is a great holiday film that is sure to make the whole family sit arround the fire, uh actually the TV.
love it
