[edit] Plot

In a parody of Frosty the Snowman, Nigel Thornberry from The Wild Thornberrys narrates as Jimmy Neutron, Cindy Vortex, Sheen Estevez, Libby Folfax, and Carl Wheezer from The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius build a snowman that looks identical to Patrick Star from Spongebob Squarepants. Jimmy decides that the thing to make their masterpiece better than ever is one of his inventions, a top hat-like device that can make inanimate objects come to life.

After Jimmy places the machine on the snowman and he comes to life, one of two things may happen: in some airings, the kids all scream "He's alive!" and start chasing the snowman (when the short abruptly ends),[1] but in others, a longer plot begins. In these airings, the snowman starts annoying the gang to the point that Jimmy decides that the best way to deal with him is to send him seventy years into the future (despite Cindy's suggestion that they just melt him). However, this plan goes wrong due to the snowman finding Jimmy and friends and annoying them in their future, old, frail bodies. The short then ends with a brief shot of Nigel, now a skeleton, telling us that this is the end of the short.[2]
