00:00I'm Groundhog of the Year, Pardon Me Pete, Reader's Digest, Pardon Me Pete, the most
00:13unforgettable groundhog I ever met, people, Pardon Me Pete, the groundhog behind the legend,
00:21TV Guide, Pardon Me Pete, featured in International Groundhog Day telecast.
00:26At any moment now, Pardon Me Pete, the world's most revered groundhog, will make his annual
00:35appearance. And if he sees his shadow and jumps back into his hole, we're in for six more weeks
00:42of Jack Frost's winter weather. Wait a minute, I think I, yes, yes, there's something definitely
00:50stirring down there. Stand by, world. Here he comes.
00:54Me and my shadow, Strollin' down the avenue. Me and my shadow, Not a soul to kill our troubles
01:16too. And when it's twelve o'clock, I climb the stair. Just me and my shadow.
01:35Well, look at that. Pardon Me Pete is looking around now. Now he's climbing out. Now he's
01:47yawning. He adjusts his hat and cracks his knuckles. Wow, what a story. Oops. Pardon Me.
01:57Pardon Me. But how could Pete have cast a shadow? It's impossible. There's no sun today.
02:09Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Jack Frost nipping at your nose.
02:19They'll never catch on up there. That's a magic shadow. It belongs to Jack Frost, not me.
02:31See, Jack and I have this deal every year I pop out. See the shadow, make believe I'm frightened
02:36and pop back in again. Then he gets six more weeks of winter fun and I get a bit more shut-eye.
02:43Pardon Me? Well, of course you never saw him. He's invisible. Except for his shadow. Nobody's ever seen Jack Frost.
03:00Unless you count that one time when he became human. Even if you never saw him, you have seen his work.
03:11You wake up one morning and you know that something's new. The window panes are frosted and the skies are blind and blue. There's not a bird out singing and the ground is white with snow. You can see the words come puffing out when you say your first hello.
03:38You 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.
03:53He's nipping at your nose. He's nipping at your nose. You can feel him in your toes. A shiver and a tear lets you know Jack Frost is here.
04:05If 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.
04:17Listen. Listen. You can hear him spreading winter as he goes. Jack Frost. Jack Frost.
04:29Jack Frost. Jack Frost. Jack Frost. Jack Frost. Jack Frost. Jack Frost. Jack Frost. Jack Frost. Jack Frost. Jack Frost. Jack Frost. Jack Frost. Jack Frost. Jack Frost. Jack Frost. Jack Frost.

04:59Once upon a snowflake, far, far away, in a distant time and place,
05:17there was a little town called January Junction.
05:22One late autumn day, about a month before Christmas,
05:26the pumpkin peasants were harvesting their crop.
05:29Papa, the load is too heavy for them.
05:33Oh, if only I had a team of horses instead of a dog and a duck.
05:40Who can afford horses?
05:42Who has money nowadays?
05:45I have, Mama.
05:46See?
05:47A copper kaputnik.
05:50Papa, how?
05:52I hid it from Kubla Kraus, so I'd have something to buy Christmas presents.
05:57You shouldn't take the chance.
05:59What good is one kaputnik?
06:02It takes a hundred of them to make a penny.
06:08It's Kubla Kraus!
06:10It's the king of the Cossacks!
06:12Hide everybody!
06:14Uncling Stumper!
06:15I smell like a kaputnik!
06:16Peasants!
06:17Give me that kaputnik!
06:18What kaputnik?
06:19Oh, beautiful king of the Cossacks!
06:21This kaputnik!
06:22Have a kaputnik, got a pank!
06:27Give me that kaputnik.
06:29What kaputnik for beautiful king of the Cossacks!
06:40A kaputnik saved is a kaputnik earned.
06:50Ha, ha, ha, ha.
06:52I'm playing Stomper.
06:59Oh, my last kaputnik.
07:02We'll have nothing for the holy bays.
07:05Oh, Papa, soon you'll have nothing.
07:09Soon you'll have money.
07:11Ice money.
07:13Not until Jack Frost comes.
07:17Listen, Papa.
07:19He must be about.
07:21Jack Frost is close.
07:23I can almost hear him.
07:39Now, the reason the folks of January Junction liked winter so much was because of that ice money Mama was talking about.
07:49See, Kubla Crouse took all their real money for taxes.
07:53But when Jack Frost came, the first thing he did was to make lots of pretty icicles.
08:05Then the folks took those icicles and sliced them up into ice coins.
08:15And soon everybody was rich with their, um, frozen assets.
08:21They're going to brave.
08:23Oops, pardon me for the pun.
08:27And nobody was broke anymore.
08:29Nice system.
08:30Of course, when the warm weather came, everything melted and they had to start charging things again.
08:37And nobody had more fun than Jack Frost.
08:43Being invisible, he could move down close to all the humans and really be part of their cheer and joy.
08:50That's how he first met Elisa.
08:53Daughter, why are you headed toward the gate?
08:58I'm going out into the countryside.
09:00It's so beautiful with snow, like a Christmas wonderland.
09:05Christmas is a month away.
09:08There must be another reason.
09:10Maybe I want to see Jack Frost's work before anyone spoils it.
09:16You are so romantic, Elisa.
09:19Find yourself a good, solid husband and settle down.
09:25I will.
09:26When my knight in golden armor comes along.
09:29Knights?
09:31Knights?
09:32Aren't you in love with anybody yet?
09:35Only Jack Frost.
09:40I guess that's how it all started.
09:44From that moment on,
09:46Jack Frost began to think about being human.
09:50See, he thought Elisa really loved him.
09:55Jack was so lost in his daydreams,
09:58that he didn't hear.
10:04Good shortcut, Clang Stamper.
10:07The water's hard.
10:09Forward!
10:11On!
10:12On, Clang Stamper!
10:14On!
10:17But the weight of the iron horse
10:19and the heat of its boiler
10:21caused the ice to break up.
10:23Oh, no!
10:25Help!
10:27Somebody!
10:29Help!
10:30Help!
10:31Help!
10:48Oh, that was fun!
10:50Jack Frost, not only are you a magician,
10:54you're a hero.
10:56Well, when he heard himself called a hero,
10:59Jack Frost made up his mind.
11:02He knew he just had to be human.
11:06And that made him happy and sad at the same time.
11:14And so, he headed straight up toward his home in the sky.
11:19The happiness of being me
11:23Is not what it's cracked up to be
11:27It's lonely being one of a kind
11:33With all the notoriety
11:36The fame that nature gave to me
11:40It's lonely being one of a kind
11:44What's home to Jack Frost?
11:50Pardon me, but I think I'd better explain a few things.
11:55Well, you all know this is a weather map.
11:59Instead of low-pressure areas
12:01and cold fronts and moisture-laden winds,
12:03Try to think of a snowstorm
12:06As a great kingdom of the winter clouds.
12:13And the ruler of all this wonder
12:16Is Father Winter himself.
12:22Of course, he has lots of assistance.
12:25Not just Jack Frost.
12:27Snip the snowflake maker, for instance.
12:29Every single snowflake that ever falls anywhere
12:35Is designed by Snip.
12:38And no two are alike.
12:42Is this Snip?
12:44Of course this is Snip.
12:45Who else would be answering Snip's phone?
12:48I need ten million for Minneapolis.
12:49Ten million for Minneapolis?
12:51Oh.
12:53But I gotta finish that Moscow order.
12:55Not to mention Alaska, Mount Fuji,
12:58And January Junction.
13:02So when do you need them?
13:03Tomorrow, tomorrow.
13:05All right.
13:06You'll have them.
13:07You'll have them.
13:09Phew.
13:10A little flurry, he calls it.
13:13Then there's the snow gypsies.
13:16Oh, there's thousands of them.
13:21See, each flake has to be carefully flipped
13:25So that it lands exactly where Father Winter wants it.
13:29And it's all up to the little flake flippin' snow gypsies.
13:36Every so often, Snip would make an extra special snowflake.
13:42Just perfect for the Christmas snow.
13:45Holly!
13:46White Christmas snow got special treatment.
13:51And Holly, the holiday snowflake gypsy, saw that each flake was kept safe and cold until December the 24th.
14:01Then there's the Sleet Sisters, and the hail fellow, who packs all the hailstones to be shipped off to the summer.
14:17Hail, hail fellow!
14:20Salutations, Sleet Sisters!
14:22Uh-oh, greetings, snow gypsies.
14:26Jack Frost, what are you doing back?
14:29It's not even Christmas.
14:31Don't worry, Snip.
14:32I've got everything frosted down there.
14:35Holly's snowflakes won't melt.
14:37But you shouldn't be up here now.
14:39Father Winter will be very angry.
14:42I can't help that.
14:43I-I won't ask him a favor.
14:45You're gonna bother Father Winter with favors?
14:48Right in the middle of the busy season?
14:52Snip, I want to be, uh, human.
14:56Human?
14:57Why, Jack?
14:58I-I have my reasons.
15:01You mustn't let Father Winter find out.
15:05I have already found out.
15:18Well, you can bet your galoshes that when Father Winter heard about Jack Frost wanting to be human, he was angry.
15:31In fact, he was as mad as a blizzard.
15:34Outright insubordination.
15:37If I am insubordinate, sir, it-it was you who made me so.
15:41Me? How?
15:43How?
15:44I'm the only one you sent down among the humans.
15:48Bring joy to their Januaries.
15:50Make their Christmases whiter, you ordered.
15:53But when I try to share their joy, they can't hear or see me.
15:59Why can't I be part of them?
16:02Because you'd be a stranger to their ways.
16:05Nobody down there really wants to know Jack Frost.
16:09One person does.
16:11Magician, she calls me.
16:14Hero.
16:17Father Winter, grant my dream come true.
16:23Oh, time.
16:26Give me time to consider your request.
16:29A century or two.
16:32That will be too late.
16:34I'd like to be like everyone I see.
16:41Not special.
16:43Just an ordinary guy.
16:48Who falls in love and leaves the simple life.
16:54At least I'd like to have the chance to try.
17:01The happiness of being me is not what it's cracked up to be.
17:09It's lonely being one of a kind.
17:15It's lonely being one of a kind.
17:19If you feel so lonely, Jack, I will have to grant your wish.
17:30You may become human.
17:33Temporarily.
17:35I will give you a winter of humanity.
17:37And if by the first sign of spring you have accumulated the basic human essentials.
17:44A house to shelter you.
17:45A horse to bear you.
17:47A bag of gold to sustain you.
17:50And a wife to make it all worth the while.
17:54Then you will be truly human and may stay so with my blessing forever.
18:04Oh, that's some proposition.
18:06No trouble at all, Snip.
18:08Well, I'm off.
18:10Wait, Jack.
18:11Take these, please.
18:13Your scissors?
18:14But you need them.
18:16If I need, I got a whole drawer full.
18:20Something to remember me by.
18:23Thank you, Snip.
18:24And don't worry.
18:25I'll never forget you.
18:27Farewell, old friend!
18:31And Jack Frost was on his way.
18:33As he fell back down, he could suddenly feel human things for the first time.
18:40What?
18:41A heartbeat!
18:44An itchy nose!
18:46It's wonderful!
18:48Wonderful!
18:53Who said that?
18:56I have words now.
18:58I think I almost spoke one.
19:01I have bones now.
19:03I think I almost broke one.
19:05Oop!
19:06You're very clumsy on ice.
19:11Clumsy on ice?
19:13Do you know who I am?
19:15Well, you're certainly not my golden knight.
19:20You're right.
19:22I am clumsy.
19:24Even though you're not a knight, you are very nice.
19:29What's your name?
19:30Jack Fro-oops.
19:32Jack-oops?
19:34No, Jack.
19:35Snip.
19:36I'm Jack Snip, the tailor.
19:38See?
19:40A tailor!
19:41We need a tailor in town.
19:43Well, I need a town to tailor in.
19:45Well, why don't you stay in January Junction?
19:48Why don't I stay in January Junction?
19:52This way. I'll race you!
19:58He's falling all over himself.
20:00Jack Frost slipping on ice?
20:03What's the world coming to?
20:05Phew!
20:07Humans are never as graceful as Sprites.
20:09Mark my words, Holly.
20:11He's gonna be in big trouble.
20:13We must not allow harm to come to Jack Frost.
20:16Snip. Holly.
20:18Therefore, you will both become human until the spring.
20:24Now, back in town, Alicia's folks invited Jack Frost,
20:29pardon me, Jack Snip, to dinner.
20:33Eat hearty and curse Kubla Kraus.
20:37Papa!
20:39On Christmas, sometimes we share a bologna sandwich.
20:42Without the bologna, of course.
20:44Papa, Mr. Snip has no place to sleep.
20:48May he stay the night in the attic?
20:51Why not?
20:53I'll find a house in the morning.
20:55It's very important I find a house.
20:57Oh, but there are no empty houses in January Junction, Mr. Snip.
21:02Then I'll build one.
21:04With what?
21:06Kubla Kraus owns all the timber and the brick.
21:09But I've got to get a house.
21:11A horse, a bag of gold, and...
21:14Kubla Kraus owns the only horse and all the gold.
21:20The Cossack King.
21:22But even the Cossacks couldn't stand him.
21:25So, they all left.
21:27Now he lives alone in his castle.
21:31High on miserable mountain.
21:36I'm Kubla Kraus.
21:38I'm king of all the Cossacks.
21:42But there are no Cossacks to be king of...
21:47There's the rob.
21:49There's the rob.
21:51There's the rob.
21:52There's the rob.
21:53There's the rob.
21:54There's the rob.
21:56There's the rob.
21:57Rub-a-dub-a-dub-dub-dub-rob.
21:59I rule with an iron hand.
22:03I get whatever I demand.
22:07I own the people I'm in the sea.
22:09But there are no pyramids around here.
22:11There's the rob.
22:13There's the rob.
22:15There's the rob.
22:16There's the rob.
22:18There's the rob.
22:20There's the rob.
22:21There's the rob.
22:23I own the people and the land, so I eat it, I'm not happy, I don't understand, I'm Kubla
22:41Krauss, I could have been a Raja, but there are no elephants around here, there's the
22:50Rob, there's the Rob, there's the Rob, I'm Kubla Krauss, I could have been a Shogun, but there
23:02are no samurai around here, there's the Rob, there's the Rob, there's the Rob, there's
23:12the Rob, rob-a-dum-a-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub-dub, Jack Frost found out that no humans or animals
23:30would live with Kubla Krauss, so the mean and evil old Cossack King had to make artificial
23:36to make artificial ones out of iron.
23:41There was Clang Stumper, who ran by steam.
23:46And Fetch Kvetch, the butler, who ran by clockwork.
23:55And there was his army of K'nights in grimy armor.
23:59K'noot, K'nick, K'norman, K'nathan, and all the rest of them.
24:04Each lifeless with a motor for a heart,
24:07but very mean and k'nasty.
24:14Why, even the mice were artificial.
24:18And then there was Dami.
24:24Hello, Dami.
24:27Hello, Kubla.
24:29Gee, it's well being here with you.
24:32Dami, Dami, on my knee, who is handsome as can be?
24:37You are, Kubla.
24:39And Dami, who is brave and strong and nice?
24:44You are, Kubla.
24:46Nice, Dami.
24:50Oh, it is so good to be loved.
24:53Kubla Krauss has got to be overthrown.
25:04Oh, hello.
25:06Hello, nice lady.
25:08You have a warm room, maybe, for two lost strangers?
25:13I don't believe it.
25:14These are my friends.
25:16This is Holly.
25:18How do, please.
25:20What is she?
25:21An almost?
25:23She's even too small to be one of Santa's elves.
25:27Oh, Holly is a gypsy.
25:30A gypsy princess.
25:32Angered the magic gypsy baron and he made her tiny.
25:36Oh, boy.
25:39And this is Smith.
25:40No, no.
25:41Oops.
25:43Another oops?
25:45Fernando.
25:47Leonardi.
25:49Kratsky.
25:51That's me.
25:53What?
25:54It's all I can think of.
25:56Well, whoever.
25:58Come on in.
25:59Sit comfortable and eat hearty.
26:02Mama!
26:03Shell next week's pee and make soup.
26:06You won't regret this, sir.
26:08With my friends at my side, I know Kubla Krauss' days are numbered.
26:14First thing tomorrow, we pay a little visit to the Cossack King.
26:32Well, Jack Frost kept his word.
26:35The next morning, he set out with his friends to climb Miserable Mountain.
26:43But that mountain was like a pyramid of ice.
26:49He's sleeping again.
26:51Fun, huh, dummy?
26:53It's great fun, Kubla.
26:55Hey, who is that girl?
26:58Ooh, she is beautiful.
27:01I will woo her and win her for my wife.
27:06She is beautiful and therefore I will woo her.
27:13How can you woo her?
27:16She doesn't like you.
27:19She's a woman and therefore I will win her.
27:25How can you win her?
27:29She doesn't like you.
27:32I will win her and woo her.
27:39I will.
27:41You won't.
27:43I can't.
27:45You can't.
27:47We'll see.
27:56Well, they just had to give up.
27:59He set up his tailor shop in the house of Alicia's Papa.
28:04Snip and Holly were his assistants.
28:08And on the day before Christmas...
28:12Merry Christmas!
28:14Sir Ravenel!
28:15Sir Ravenel!
28:17I'm looking for Jack Snip, the tailor.
28:19Uh, customer?
28:21Sir Ravenel, right, fellow.
28:23He's come back.
28:25Oh, the knight in golden armor.
28:28The who in which?
28:30He left town as a child and joined King Arthur.
28:33After all these years, I'm home for the holidays and I need a tailor.
28:38Well, Sir Ravenel, I can't mend armor.
28:41It's my cape that needs mending.
28:44I'm certain Mr. Snip will consider it an honor.
28:48I'll call for you, I mean, for my cape tomorrow.
28:52And Merry Christmas to you all.
28:55And the next day was a Merry Christmas.
29:00For poor as they were, the folks at January Junction always gave wonderful presents.
29:06Dream presents, they called them.
29:10One person gave it to another.
29:13And the person who got it dreamed, or may believe it was...
29:19It was just what they always wanted.
29:22You shouldn't have, you didn't.
29:25Oh, my. Oh, my.
29:27I really don't deserve it.
29:29I think I'll cry.
29:31It's just what I always wanted.
29:32It's perfectly right.
29:35It's just what I always wanted.
29:37A Christmas delight.
29:39It's just what he always wanted.
29:41It's perfectly right.
29:43It's just what he always wanted.
29:45A Christmas delight.
29:50I hope you wouldn't bother.
29:52Oh, my. Oh, my.
29:54I'll use it every morning.
29:56I think I'll cry.
29:57It's just what I always wanted.
29:59It's perfectly right.
30:01It's just what I always wanted.

41:19well then i suppose spring isn't coming
41:23More winter, everyone.
41:26More winter.
41:32Well, Jack Frost left,
41:35and I went back to bed for six weeks.
41:38I like the extra snooze so much,
41:41I've been letting him scare me to this very day.
41:46Pardon me?
41:47Oh, the rest of the story.
41:49Well, by and by, nature caught on,
41:54and six weeks later,
41:55she started giving Father Winter some other signs.
42:01There can be no argument.
42:04Winter will end by noon today.
42:07But I can't just let January Junction be destroyed.
42:12Let me be human again.
42:14You promised me humanity until spring comes.
42:18Very well, Jack Frost.
42:22You have until 12 noon.
42:24And if you wish to remain human,
42:27you have one hour
42:30to get your house, horse, bag of gold, and wife.
42:35But first, I've got to stop Kubla.
42:37Somehow.
42:40Gee, the snow's half-melted already.
42:43Tommy, look.
42:46We're melting.
42:47Soon I will destroy the town
42:49and get my bride.
42:52What happiness!
42:54What joy!
42:55What glee!
42:56Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
42:58Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
42:59Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
43:03The melting snow collapsed the rotting roof,
43:07and Kubla was knocked unconscious.
43:09Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
43:14Right, Domi?
43:15Anything you say, Jack Frost?
43:19He could imitate Kubla's Domi voice perfectly.
43:22And what's more, Jack Frost didn't move his lips.
43:28Hold you canites down there!
43:31Hold!
43:31Now, those canites thought Kubla was doing the talking for Domi,
43:37So they obeyed.
43:39No time to use the secret passage.
43:42Down the mountainside.
43:44Forward, march.
43:46And the double.
43:48Of course that mountain was still slippery as ever,
43:51and once they hit those ice slopes, down they went.
43:55They landed on the others down below,
43:57and soon the valley was filled to the top
43:59with a junk heap of 10,000 carnites.
44:03Blast you.
44:07Who you like best?
44:09Me or Frost?
44:11Oh, you, Kubler.
44:13He's got cool fingers.
44:15Let's get him.
44:25I guess this counts as a house.
44:31Uh-oh.
44:32I guess I have a horse, too.
44:38Look!
44:39Gold!
44:40Enough for a hundred bags.
44:42To stay human, Jack Frost needed one more thing.
44:46And he only had till noon
44:50to make Elisa his wife.
45:01Yes, sir.
45:02That town's troubles were over for good.
45:04Jack Frost was sure everything would be happy ever after.
45:08Until...
45:09You want my daughter's handy marriage?
45:12I only have one daughter.
45:14And...
45:15Well...
45:16Look for yourself.
45:18And would you believe a night for a son-in-law?
45:23The ceremony is at 12 noon.
45:27At the first stroke of spring.
45:30You're invited, kid.
45:32I thought...
45:35She loved me.
45:37I never heard her say she loved anyone before so revenue.
45:42Except Jack Frost.
45:44He's just a dream.
45:46But she'll always love Jack Frost.
45:49But no.
45:51I never heard her say she loved you, Jack Snip.
45:5512 noon.
46:00The big moment.
46:02Spring is here.
46:04Hey!
46:05Where did that little tailor go?
46:20What was that?
46:22An old friend kissed the bride.
46:35Hey, Ron!
46:36It wouldn't be winter without you.
46:41If you try to turn around
46:44When you hear his icy sound
46:47He's sure to disappear
46:51But you know
46:52Yes, you know
46:54Then you know
46:55Jack Frost is here
47:04And that's the story of Jack Frost.
47:08Well, I've got to catch six weeks of shut-eye.
47:20Pardon me.
47:21Bye.
47:38I'm sorry
47:39I can recover
47:41If you search that you were
47:44You did that
47:48WhenεΉΈη¦
47:50About you
47:51Then you're on
47:52Fire
