Zatarain, a paraprofessional, rated the movie a 9 out of 10. The original movie was released in 1969, according to Movie Internet Database (IMDb), an online movie source. It’s about a snowman who comes to life once a group of kids place a magic top hat on his head. Then, the kids try to keep a greedy magician from stealing the magic hat. Mikey Sunga is a sixth-grade student who also enjoyed the movie.

“The movie was definitely hilarious,” Mikey Sunga, a sixth-grader, said. “If I really watch it, it encourages me to make a snowman myself. I definitely rate the film a seven out of ten.”
