Synopsis

Every year Owen builds a snowman on Christmas Eve, only to see it melt away on Christmas Day. There must be a way to make it last, he thinks. So begins an adventure that leads Owen to a magical place where curious animals study his snowman piece by piece. As they attempt to remake a perfect one, Owen provides the one thing they've been missing-the snowball that becomes the heart of a snowman. With the addition of a heart, have they finally made the perfect snowman, one that will last forever? Ages: 4 - 8
