Once in every generation, there is a holiday story the whole family can enjoy. This year IMAX® once again brings home a bag full of laughs for the holidays with a tale of unstoppable hilarity and visual magic that may just become the most popular, must-see holiday family tradition for years to come. Combining the off-the-wall humor of Steve Oedekerk, the Academy Award® nominated creator/producer of Jimmy Neutron (along with John A. Davis and Keith Alcorn of DNA Productions), with the Academy Award® winning IMAX® technology results in a film as funny as it is visually stunning. Featuring the voice talents of Jonathan Winters, Ben Stein and Victoria Jackson, this film tells the story of an innocent and lovable Snowman who discovers Santa's Village and reaches in the workshop window to pick up a shiny, new flute. What ensues is a riotous battle for Christmas, with the Snowman and his minions squaring off against Santa and his elf army for the rights to the worldwide gift delivery franchise of the jolly man in red.
