Jack Frost

Jack Frost is a UK VHS release by Warner Home Video on 15th November 1999 and re-released on 30th October 2000.

Description[]

Meet Jack Frost, literally the world's coolest dad in this wild, winterland fantasy packed full of fun and adventure.
Jack (Michael Keaton) is a rock 'n' roll dad who spends a lot of time away from his wife and son Charlie. One Christmas though, he realises that there's nothing more important to him than his family. As he races home to be with them, his car tragically swerves off the icy road.
The following year, on a cold winter's night, Jack magically returns to earth... as a walking, talking, wise-cracking snowman! Determined to make up for lost time, he embarks on a riotous snowball chucking, snowboard cruising quest to show Charlie that when it comes to being totally cool, there's no dad like a snow dad!
Frosted with a blizzard of special effects and with a soundtrack that includes tracks by Hanson, Jack Frost is one winter's tale that everyone will love.
