Since DH and I didn't watch many movies, we wanted the kids to see frosty & Rudolph (the stop animation ones).
We showed it to our 3 & 4 year old and should have waited.
I didn't remember that frosty turns into a puddle and that a dentist elf pulls out all the snow monsters teeth. It was downright scary for our 3 year old!
