From Rankin/Bass comes the animated holiday special _Jack Frost_. Famed groundhog Pardon-Me-Pete recounts the tale of how he met Jack Frost one fateful Groundhog Day and the time that Jack attempted to become human. Narrated by Buddy Hackett, the film has a strong cast that features several Rankin/Bass regulars. And as usual, the animation and character designs are especially well-done. Additionally, the songs, such as “Jack Frost is Here” and “Just What I Always Wanted,” are charming and whimsical. Entertaining and fun, _Jack Frost_ is another solid entry in the Rankin/Bass catalog.
