Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

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 Horiuchi

Product Description

When Jack Frost falls in love with Elisa, Father Winter gives him a season of humanity to win her heart, and Jack must save her from a villain and his

5.0 out of 5 stars Another extraordinary film by Romeo Muller!, November 21, 1999
By George Zadorozny (Oldsmar, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jack Frost (Animated) [VHS] (VHS Tape)
"Jack Frost" tells the story of how the wintry sprite is transformed by his love for someone very special to him! And the great voice actor Paul Frees (best known as the voice of Boris Badenov in "The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle") does an amazing job as the voice of the villain, Kubla Kraus. Don't miss him singing the "Rub-a-Dub" song! (Which is usually cut from TV broadcasts of this film.) "Jack Frost" is another extraordinary film by Romeo Muller, who also wrote the classic Animagic, Rankin/Bass Christmas films, "Rudolph, the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Frosty the Snowman," among many other enchanting tales.

5.0 out of 5 stars Who's that nipping at your nose?, January 16, 2002
This review is from: Jack Frost (DVD)
"Jack Frost" has always been one of my favorite Rankin/Bass Christmas specials. Because it was not aired as often as "Rudolph the Rednose Reindeer" or "Frosty the Snowman," there was always something special about it. It was more of a treat when I got to see it. Also, it had knights, castles and a steam-powered horse, which was a big bonus for me as a child.

This is an animagic production, with stop-motion puppets instead of cell animation. The story is winter-focused rather than Christmas focused. Jack Frost, an invisible elf who can never participate in the joy he brings to the humans, falls in love with a human girl. He petitions Father Winter to grant him humanity and give him the chance to win her love. The villain of the story is Kublah Krause, the Cossack King. He gets the best song. "I'm Kublah Krause, I could have been a Shogun, but there are no Samurai around here, there's the rub, there's the rub..."

The only holiday represented is Groundhog's Day, and the Groundhog himself (voiced by Buddy Hackett) makes an appearance. "I've got a day named after me, February 2..." Other characters include Holly the Snow Gypsy and Snip the Snowflake Cutter.

This DVD is a fairly frill-free production, and contains only the main feature. It was produced for stores to put in their "bargain DVD" racks. Still, the quality is great and there is no other DVD version of "Jack Frost" available. A definite must-have for the holidays.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Holiday Special, May 22, 2006
This review is from: Jack Frost (DVD)
"Did we need another version of this crap?
Who buys this stuff?
This is another example of total crap getting the special treatment, CLUB DREAD UNRATED VERSION, anyone?
B."
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.
