ANNOUNCER: Time--
"Groundhog of the Year, Pardon-Me-Pete."
Reader's Digest--
"Pardon-Me-Pete...
The Most Unforgettable Groundhog I Ever Met."
People...
"Pardon-Me-Pete...
The Groundhog Behind the Legend."
TV Guide...
"Pardon-Me-Pete Featured
in International Groundhog Day Telecast."
At any moment now,
Pardon-Me-Pete, the world's most revered groundhog,
will make his annual appearance.
And if he sees his shadow and jumps back into his hole,
we're in for 6 more weeks of Jack Frost's winter weather.
Wait a minute. I think I--
Yes, there's something definitely stirring down there.
Stand by, world,
here he comes!
* Me and my shadow *
* Strolling down the avenue *
* Me and my shadow *
* Not a soul to tell our troubles to *
* And when it's 12.00 *
* I climb the stair *
[Alarm ringing]
* Just me *
* And my shadow *
Well, look at that.
Pardon-Me-Pete is looking around now.
Now he's climbing out.
Now he's yawning.
He adjusts his hat and cracks his knuckles.
Wow, what a story.
Oops.
Pardon me.
[Crowd murmuring]
But how could Pete have cast a shadow?
It's impossible.
There's no sun today.
[Wind whistles]
* Chestnuts roasting on an open fire *
* Jack Frost nipping at your nose *
Heh heh heh.
They'll never catch on up there.
That's a magic shadow.
It belongs to Jack Frost, not me.
See, Jack and I have this deal.
Every year I pop out, see the shadow,
make believe I'm frightened, and pop back in again.
Then he gets 6 more weeks of winter fun
and I get a bit more shut-eye.
[Yawns]
Pardon me.
Well, of course, you never saw him.
He's invisible.
Except for his shadow.
Nobody's ever seen Jack Frost.
Unless you count that one time
when he became human.
Even if you never saw him,
you have seen his work.
* You wake up one morning *
* And you know that something's new *
* The windowpanes are frosted *
* And the sky's a blinding blue *
* There's not a bird out singing *
* And the ground is white with snow *
* You can see the words come puffin' out *
* When you say your first hello *
* You know who's been there *
* And I think it's really nice *
* To feel the morning through the glass *
* Where the dew has turned to ice *
* He's nipping at your nose *
* You can feel him in your toes *
* A shiver and a tear *
* Let's you know Jack Frost is here *
* If you try to turn around *
* Jack Frost *
* When you hear his icy sound *
* Jack Frost *
* He's sure to disappear *
* But you know Jack Frost is here *
* Listen *
* Listen *
* You can hear him spreading winter as he goes *
* Jack Frost *
* Jack Frost *
* If you try to turn around *
* Jack Frost *
* When you hear his icy sound *
* Jack Frost *
* He's sure to disappear *
* But you know *
* Yes, you know *
* Then you know *
* Jack Frost is here *
Once upon a snowflake,
far, far away,
in a distant time and place,
there was a little town called January Junction.
One late autumn day,
about a month before Christmas,
the pumpkin peasants were harvesting their crop.
[Quack]
Papa, the load is too heavy for them.
Oh, if only I had a team of horses
instead of a dog and a duck.
Who can afford horses?
Who has money nowadays?
I have, Mama, see?
A copper kaputnik?
Papa, how?
I hid it from Kubla Kraus
so I have something to buy Christmas presents.
You shouldn't take the chance.
What good is one kaputnik?
It takes 100 of them to make a penny.
[Clanking]
It's Kubla Kraus!
He's the King of the Cossacks!
Hide, everybody!
[Clanking]
On, Clangstomper!
I smell a kaputnik!
Peasants...give me that kaputnik.
[Clacking]
What kaputnik, O beautiful King of the Cossacks?
This kaputnik.
Ha ha ha!
A kaputnik saved is a kaputnik earned.
Ha ha ha!
On, Clangstomper!
Ohh, my last kaputnik!
We'll have nothing for the holidays!
Oh, Papa, soon you'll have money.
Ice money.
Not until Jack Frost comes.
Listen, Papa, he must be about.
Jack Frost is close.
I can almost hear him.
[Quacking]
PETE: Now, the reason the folks of January Junction
liked winter so much
was because of that ice money Mama was talking about.
See, Kubla Kraus took all their real money for taxes,
but when Jack Frost came...
[Whistling]
first thing he did was to make lots of pretty icicles.
[Sawing]
[Clink]
PETE: And folks took those icicles
and sliced them up into ice coins.
And soon everybody was rich with their, uh...
frozen assets, heh, to coin a phrase.
Oops, pardon me for the pun.
And nobody was broke anymore.
Nice system.
Of course, when the warm weather came,
everything melted
and they had to start charging things again.
And nobody had more fun than Jack Frost.
Being invisible,
he could move down close to all the humans
and really be part of their cheer and joy.
That's how he first met Elisa.
[Giggles]
Daughter, why are you headed toward the gate?
I'm going out into the countryside.
It's so beautiful with snow,
like a Christmas wonderland.
Christmas is a month away.
There must be another reason.
Maybe I want to see Jack Frost's work
before anyone spoils it.
You are so romantic, Elisa.
Find yourself a good, solid husband
and settle down.
I will... when my knight
in golden armour comes along.
Knights? Knights?
Aren't you in love with anybody yet?
Only Jack Frost.
[Elisa laughs]
PETE: I guess that's how it all started.
From that moment on,
Jack Frost began to think about being human.
See, he thought Elisa really loved him.
Jack was so lost in his daydreams
that he didn't hear.
Good short cut, Clangstomper.
The water is hard.
Ha ha ha!
Forward! On, Clangstomper!
On! Ha ha ha!
PETE: But the weight of the iron horse
and the heat of its boiler caused the ice to break up!
Oh, no!
Help!
Somebody!
Help!
Help!
[Whistling]
[Laughing]
Ha ha ha! Oh, that was fun!
Jack Frost, not only are you a magician,
you're a hero! Ha ha ha!
PETE: Well, when he heard himself called a hero,
Jack Frost made up his mind.
He knew he just had to be human.
And that made him happy and sad at the same time.
And so he headed straight up
toward his home in the sky.
* The happiness of being me *
* Is not what it's cracked up to be *
* It's lonely being one *
* Of a kind *
* With all the notoriety *
* The fame that Nature gave to me *
* It's lonely being one *
* Of a kind *
What's home to Jack Frost?
Pardon me, but I think
I'd better explain a few things.
Well, you all know this is a weather map.
Instead of low-pressure areas and cold fronts
and moisture-laden winds,
try to think of a snowstorm
as a great Kingdom of the Winter Clouds.
And the ruler of all this wonder
is Father Winter himself.
[Wind whistling]
Of course, he has lots of assistants,
not just Jack Frost.
Snip the Snowflake Maker, for instance.
Every single snowflake that ever falls anywhere
is designed by Snip,
and no two are alike.
[Whistles]
MAN: Is this Snip?
Of course this is Snip.
Who else would be answering Snip's phone?
I need 10 million for Minneapolis.
10 million for Minneapolis?
Ohhh.
But I gotta finish that Moscow order.
Not to mention Alaska, Mount Fuji,
and January Junction.
[Sighs]
So, when do you need them?
Tomorrow! Tomorrow!
All right, you'll have 'em. You'll have 'em.
Phew!
"A little flurry" he calls it.
PETE: Then there's the snow gypsies.
Oh, there's thousands of them.
See...
each flake has to be carefully flipped
so it lands exactly where Father Winter wants it,
and it's all up to the little flake-flippin' snow gypsies.
Every so often,
Snip would make an extra-special snowflake.
Just perfect for the Christmas snow!
Holly!
PETE: White Christmas snow got special treatment,
and Holly, the holiday snowflake gypsy,
saw that each flake was kept safe and cold
until December 24th.
Then there's the Sleet Sisters,
and the Hail Fellow,
who packs all the hail stones
to be shipped off to the summer.
Hail, Hail Fellow!
Salutations, Sleet Sisters!
Greetings, snow gypsies!
Jack Frost, what are you doing back?
It's not even Christmas.
Don't worry, Snip.
I've got everything frosted down there.
Holly's snowflakes won't melt.
But you shouldn't be up here now.
Father Winter will be very angry.
I can't help that.
I want to ask him a favour.
You're going to bother Father Winter with favours?
R-Right in the middle of the busy season?
Snip, I want to be...human.
Human?! Why, Jack?
I--I have my reasons.
You mustn't let Father Winter find out.
FATHER WINTER: I have already found out!
[Wind howling]
Well, you can bet your galoshes
that when Father Winter heard about
Jack Frost wanting to be human,
he was angry.
In fact, he was as mad as a blizzard.
Outright insubordination.
If I am insubordinate, sir,
it was you who made me so.
Me?! How?
I'm the only one you sent down among the humans.
"Bring joy to their Januarys,
make their Christmases whiter!"
you ordered,
but when I try to share their joy,
they can't hear or see me,
Why can't I be part of them?
Because you'd be a stranger to their ways.
Nobody down there really wants to know Jack Frost.
One person does.
"Magician," she calls me.
"Hero."
Father Winter...
grant my dream come true.
Ohh...time.
Give me time to consider your request.
A century or two.
That will be too late.
* I'd like *
* To be *
* Like everyone I see *
* Not special *
* Just an ordinary guy *
* Who falls in love *
* And leads the simple life *
* At least *
* I'd like to have *
* The chance to try *
* The happiness of being me *
* Is not what it's cracked up to be *
* It's lonely being one *
* Of a kind *
* It's lonely being one *
* Of a kind *
If you feel so lonely, Jack,
I will have to grant your wish.
You may become human...temporarily.
I will give you a winter of humanity,
and if by the first sign of spring
you have accumulated the basic human essentials--
a house to shelter you, a horse to bear you,
a bag of gold to sustain you,
and a wife to make it all worth the while,
then you will be truly human
and may stay so with my blessing forever.
Ohh, that's some proposition.
No trouble at all, Snip. Well, I'm off.
Wait, Jack. Take these, please.
Your scissors? But you need them.
If I need, I got a whole drawerful.
Heh. Something to remember me by.
Thank you, Snip.
And don't worry. I'll never forget you.
Farewell, old friend!
PETE: And Jack Frost was on his way.
As he fell back down,
he could suddenly feel human things for the first time.
Ha ha! A heartbeat!
Oh, an itchy nose!
Ha! It's wonderful!
Oof!
Who said that?
I have words now!
I think I almost spoke one!
I have bones now.
I think I almost broke one.
Oh! Ooh!
Ha! You're very clumsy on ice.
Clumsy on ice?
Do you know who I am?
Well, you're certainly not my golden knight.
Yeow!
You're right. I am clumsy.
Even though you're not a knight,
you are very nice.
What's your name?
Jack Fro--Oops!
Jack Oops?
Uh, no. Jack Snip.
I'm Jack Snip the tailor. See?
A tailor! We need a tailor in town.
Well, I need a town to tailor in. Heh.
Well, why don't you stay in January Junction?
Why don't I stay in January Junction?
This way! I'll race you.
He's falling all over himself.
Jack Frost slipping on ice?
What's the world coming to? Phew!
Humans are never as graceful as sprites.
Mark my words, Holly. He's gonna be in big trouble.
We must not allow harm to come to Jack Frost.
Snip, Holly... therefore, you will both
become human until the spring.
PETE: Now, back in town,
Elisa's folks invited Jack Frost--
pardon me-- Jack Snip to dinner.
Eat hearty and curse Kubla Kraus!
Papa!
On Christmas, sometimes we share a boloney sandwich.
Without the boloney, of course.
Papa, Mr Snip has no place to sleep.
May he stay the night in the attic?
Why not?
I'll find a house in the morning.
It's very important I find a house.
Oh, but there are no empty houses
in January Junction, Mr Snip.
Then I'll build one.
With what?
Kubla Kraus owns all the timber
and the brick.
But I've got to get a house, a horse, a bag of gold--
Kubla Kraus owns the only horse
and all the gold--
the Cossack King.
But even the Cossacks couldn't stand him,
so they all left.
Now he lives alone in his castle
high on Miserable Mountain.
[Music starts]
* I'm Kubla Kraus *
* I'm King of all the Cossacks *
* But there are no Cossacks to be king of *
* There's the rub *
* There's the rub *
* There's the rub *
* I'm Kubla Kraus *
* I could have been a pharaoh *
* But there are no pyramids around here *
* There's the rub *
* There's the rub *
* There's the rub *
* There's the ru-u-u-b *
* Rubba-dubba-dub-dub rub *
* I rule with an iron hand *
* I get *
* Whatever I demand *
* I own the people and the land *
* So why is it I'm not happy? *
* I don't understand *
* I'm Kubla Kraus *
* I could have been a rajah *
* But there are no elephants around here *
* There's the rub *
* There's the rub *
* There's the rub *
* I'm Kubla Kraus *
* I could have been a shogun *
* But there are no samurai around here *
* There's the rub *
* There's the rub *
* There's the rub *
* There's the ru-u-u-b *
* Rubba-dubba-dub-dub-rub *
* There's the rub *
* There's the rub *
* There's the ru-u-u-b *
* Rubba-dubba-dub-dub-rub *
PETE: Jack Frost found out that no humans or animals
would live with Kubla Kraus,
so the mean and evil Cossack King
had to make artificial ones out of iron.
[Steam hissing]
There was Clangstomper...
who ran by steam,
and Fetchkvetch the butler...
who ran by clockwork.
[Springs boinging]
[Clank]
And there was his army of knights in grimy armour.
Knute, Knick, Knorman, Knathan,
and all the rest of them--
each lifeless with a motor for a heart,
but very mean and knasty.
[Whirring]
Why, even the mice were artificial.
And then there was Dommy.
Hello, Dommy.
[Squeaking] Hello, Kubla.
Gee, it's swell being here with you.
Dommy, Dommy, on my knee,
who is handsome as can be?
You are, Kubla!
Ha ha! And Dommy...
who is brave and strong and nice?
You are, Kubla!
Nice Dommy.
[Clank]
Ohh, it is so good to be loved.
Kubla Kraus has got to be overthrown!
[Knock on door]
Oh. Hello.
Hello, nice lady.
You have a warm room, maybe, for 2 lost strangers?
I don't believe it!
These are my friends. This is Holly.
How do, please?
What is she, an almost?
She is too small to be one of Santa's elves.
Oh, Holly is a gypsy.
A gypsy princess who angered the magic gypsy baron
and he made her tiny.
Oh, boy.
And this is Sni--
Uh, no, no. Oops.
Another Oops?
Uh, Fernando Leonardi Kratzke Dopopolopolis.
That's me!
What?
It's all I could think of.
Well, whoever, come on in.
Sit comfortable and eat hearty.
Mama! Shell next week's pea and make soup.
You won't regret this, sir.
With my friends at my side,
I know Kubla Kraus' days are numbered.
First thing tomorrow,
we pay a little visit to the Cossack King.
[Thunder]
[Wind howling]
Well, Jack Frost kept his word.
The next morning he set out with his friends
to climb Miserable Mountain.
PETE: But that mountain was like a pyramid of ice.
KRAUS: Ha ha ha!
He's slipping again. Fun, huh, Dommy?
It's great fun, Kubla.
Hey...who is that girl?
Ooh, she is beautiful.
I will woo her and win her for my wife.
* She is beautiful *
* And therefore I will woo her *
* How can you woo her? *
* She doesn't like you *
* She is a woman and therefore *
* I will win her *
* How can you win her? *
* She doesn't like you *
* I will win her *
* And woo her *
* I will *
* You won't *
* I can *
* You can't *
* We'll see * * We'll see *
[Clank]
PETE: Well, they just had to give up.
He set up his tailor shop in the house of Elisa's papa.
Snip and Holly were his assistants.
And on the day before Christmas...
Merry Christmas!
[Gasps] Sir Ravenal!
I'm looking for Jack Snip the tailor.
A customer?
Sir Ravenal Rightfellow!
He's come back!
Oh, the knight in golden armour.
The who in which?
He left town as a child and joined King Arthur.
SIR RAVENAL: After all these years,
I'm home for the holidays and I need a tailor.
Well, Sir Ravenal, I can't mend armour.
It's my cape that needs mending.
I'm certain Mr Snip will consider it an honour.
I'll call for you--
I mean, my cape tomorrow.
And Merry Christmas to you all!
PETE: And the next day was a merry Christmas...
for poor as they were,
the folks of January Junction
always gave wonderful presents.
"Dream presents," they called them.
One person gave it to another...
and the person who got it dreamed or made believe
it was...it was just what they always wanted!
* You shouldn't have, you didn't *
* Oh, my! Oh, my! *
* I really don't deserve it *
* I think I'll cry *
* It's just what I always wanted *
* It's perfectly right *
* It's just what I always wanted *
* A Christmas delight *
ALL: * It's just what he always wanted *
* It's perfectly right *
* It's just what he always wanted *
* A Christmas delight *
* I hoped you wouldn't bother *
* Oh, my! Oh, my! *
* I'll use it every morning *
* I think I'll cry *
* It's just what I always wanted *
* It's perfectly right *
* It's just what I always wanted *
* A Christmas delight *
ALL: * It's just what she always wanted *
* It's perfectly right *
* It's just what she always wanted *
* A Christmas delight *
* It's absolutely charming *
* Oh, my! Oh, my! *
* The colour really suits me *
* I think I'll cry *
* It's just what I always wanted *
* It's perfectly right *
* It's just what I always wanted *
* A Christmas delight *
ALL: * It's just what she always wanted *
* It's perfectly right *
* It's just what she always wanted *
* A Christmas delight *
* It's simply too expensive *
* Oh, my! Oh, my! *
* I'll treasure it forever *
* I think I'll cry *
* It's just what I always wanted *
* It's perfectly right *
* It's just what I always wanted *
* A Christmas delight *
ALL: * It's just what he always wanted *
* It's perfectly right *
* It's just what he always wanted *
* A Christmas delight *
A magic wand.
No, it's a real present.
Real?
[Gasps] A rose!
A beautiful red rose!
Would you accompany me to the Christmas dance tonight?
Oh! I'd--I'd love to.
I'll call for you at 8.00, fair lady.
Hello!
Why, hello, little fellow.
And how is the New Year's bride?
Ha ha! I'm not a New Year's bride.
That's what you think.
He is the handsomest husband a girl could wish for.
His eyes are like pools,
his lips like rosebuds...
but why don't you speak for yourself, Kubla?
Good idea, Dommy.
My eyes are like pools,
my lips are like rosebuds...
PETE: Now, Elisa was pretty lucky.
The family duck just happened to be paying a Christmas visit
to some wild relatives in the forest.
[Quacking]
Captured by Kubla Kraus?!
We've got to save her! Come on, everybody!
PETE: And when Sir Ravenal found out
what the trouble was...
Faster! Faster!
[Neighs]
Elisa!
I think I can make it.
[Neighing]
Aw, Snip, I can't do anything right as a human.
Maybe on the other side, the slope doesn't slip.
We can try!
Knute, Knick, Knat,
you're fired!
DOMMY: What a bunch of knothings!
Mama! Mama!
Oh, there, there, Elisa.
[Gasps]
Oh, Sir Ravenal is wounded!
Those terrible knights!
Quick. We've got to get him home.
PETE: And meanwhile...
Jack Frost and Snip had gotten themselves captured.
Ohh, I will make the whole town pay.
What will you do, Kubla?
I will send 1,000 knights
to destroy the town and everything in it!
SNIP: 998...
999...
[Sighs] He's right. 1,000.
A good snowstorm would stop them in their tracks.
I mean, a real once-in- a-lifetime blizzard!
How, Jack? How?
I tried to snip a snowflake the other day
just for old times' sake.
It turned out to be a doily for the table.
I'll whistle up a winter.
[Whistles]
[Knights clanking]
See? Nothing.
You might as well be making bird calls.
Then there's only one way.
Father Winter!
Jack, you don't mean--
[Jingling]
PETE: Jack Frost had given up his humanity
to save the humans he had come to love so much.
And to stop Kubla Kraus,
he was gonna whistle up the worst winter
the world had ever known!
Now, the minute Jack Frost stopped being human
he became his old self again.
Pardon me.
Uh, Pardon me.
I mean, his old shadow again.
And there was no more need for Snip to be human.
He and Holly had work to do
up in the Kingdom of the Winter Clouds.
And now Jack Frost could really whistle up a winter.
The Christmas blizzard of all time!
Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha!
PETE: Well, sir...
Jack Frost kept whistling
and the snow kept falling for 5 whole weeks.
By the first of February,
the entire mountain was buried.
Jack aimed that storm pretty well
because only Kubla's castle was buried.
Why, in January Junction,
they were talking about an early spring!
I'll be well again by springtime,
thanks to you.
We'll be wed when the first blossom shows.
Yes.
It will be wonderful.
Only I wish...
What is it, Elisa?
Still Jack Snip?
I want him to be there.
I don't know why.
I only knew him for those few weeks,
yet it seemed I knew him all my life.
He was such a sweet, good little friend.
What happened to him?
[Jack whistling]
PETE: Suddenly, the snow stopped falling.
Jack Frost whistled for more winter,
but nothing came.
But, sir, spring can't come early.
I've got to keep that castle snowbound.
Oh, please, sir, don't take winter away.
Not yet.
It's not up to me, Jack Frost.
I take my orders from Nature.
When she gives me a certain sign,
I know it's my time to leave.
What sign, sir?
The awakening of a tiny animal from his hibernation,
his long winter's nap.
I refer to a little groundhog.
At this very moment, he is starting to awaken.
Very soon, he will leave his home.
If he stays outside
and is not frightened by his shadow,
that will be my sign to move on.
But if his shadow frightens him?
6 more weeks of winter.
PETE: Well, Jack Frost looked up and realized
that the clouds hid the sun.
There could never be a shadow that day.
At least not a real shadow.
Of course, that didn't eliminate magic shadows.
* Hey, I've got a day named after me *
* February 2 *
* That's the day that I decide *
* What the weather's gonna do *
* When I climb out of my burrow *
* From my cosy little nest *
* If I see my shadow following *
* There'll be 6 more weeks of winter's best *
* I've got a day named after me *
* February 2 *
* Say, that's the day that I decide *
* What the weather's gonna do *
* It's an easy occupation *
* I'm only workin' *
* Once a year *
* I'm a living weather station *
* Telling everyone if spring is near *
* I've got a day named after me *
* February 2 *
* That's the day that I decide *
* What the weather's gonna do *
* What the weather's gonna do *
* I've got a day named after me *
* Feb-ru-ar-y *
* 2! *
Brrr!
Just my shadow.
What pinched me with those cold fingers?
Ow!
Gee whiz.
Bwah hah hah!
Pardon me!
Ha ha ha!
He returned to his hole?
Well, then I suppose spring isn't coming.
More winter, everyone!
More winter!
[Winds howling]
Well, Jack Frost left
and I went back to bed for 6 weeks.
I liked the extra snooze so much,
I've been lettin' him scare me to this very day.
Ha ha ha!
Pardon me.
Oh, the rest of the story.
Well, by and by, Nature caught on,
and 6 weeks later
she started giving Father Winter some other signs.
FATHER WINTER: There can be no argument.
Winter will end by noon today.
But I can't just let
January Junction be destroyed!
Let me be human again.
You promised me humanity until spring comes.
Very well, Jack Frost.
You have until 12 noon,
and if you wish to remain human...
you have one hour to get your house, horse,
bag of gold, and wife.
But first I've got to stop Kubla.
Somehow.
Gee, the snow's half-melted already!
KUBLA KRAUS: Dommy, look, we're melting!
Soon I will destroy the town
and get my bride.
Oh ho ho! What happiness!
What joy! What glee!
Ha ha ha!
Ho ho ho!
[Creaking]
PETE: The melting snow collapsed the rotting roof
and Kubla was knocked unconscious.
Ha ha ha!
Now I know what to do.
Right, Dommy?
Anything you say, Jack Frost.
PETE: He could imitate Kubla's Dommy voice perfectly,
and what's more, Jack Frost didn't move his lips.
All you knights down there,
halt!
Now, those knights thought Kubla was doing the talking
for Dommy, so they obeyed.
No time to use the secret passage.
Down the mountainside! Forward! March!
On the double!
PETE: Of course that mountain was still slippery as ever,
and once they hit those ice slopes,
down they went!
They landed on the others down below,
and soon the valley was filled to the top
with a junk heap of 10,000 knights!
Blast you!
Unh!
Who you like best, me or Frost?
Oh, you, Kubla.
He's got cold fingers.
Let's get him.
I--I guess this counts as a house.
[Clanking]
Uh-oh.
[Steam hissing]
I guess I have a horse, too.
Look, gold!
Enough for a hundred bags!
PETE: To stay human, Jack Frost needed one more thing.
And he only had till noon
to make Elisa his wife.
[Cheering]
PETE: Yes, sir, that town's troubles were over for good.
Jack Frost was sure
everything would be happy ever after, until...
You want my daughter's hand in marriage?
I only have one daughter and--
Well, look for yourself.
PAPA: And would you believe a knight for a son-in-law?
The ceremony is at 12 noon,
at the first stroke of spring.
You're invited, kid.
I thought she loved me.
I never heard her say she loved anyone before Sir Ravenal.
Except Jack Frost.
He is just a dream,
but she'll always love Jack Frost.
But, no, I never heard her say she loved you, Jack Snip.
[Chiming]
12 noon! The big moment!
Spring is here!
Hey, where did that little tailor go?
[Wedding March playing]
What was that?
An old friend kissed the bride.
Run! It wouldn't be winter without you!
* If you try to turn around *
* When you hear his icy sound *
* He's sure to disappear *
* But you know, yes, you know *
* Then you know Jack Frost is here *
And that's the story of Jack Frost.
[Yawns]
Well, I gotta catch 6 weeks of shut-eye.
[Yawns]
Pardon me.
Bye.
