When New York accountant Johnny Baxter (Dean Jones) learns he has inherited a Colorado hotel, he promptly quits his thankless job, packs up his dubious family, and heads west. Since this is a Disney comedy, the inn's only customers turn out to be nonpaying raccoons and its decorating motif is strictly cobweb. To make matters worse, the local banker not only refuses Baxter a loan, but tries to buy out the desperate newcomer with a lowball figure. But with the help of an eccentric squatter (M*A*S*H's Harry Morgan), a local snowmobile dude, and an avalanche, the city slickers eventually prevail. Jones' slapstick style is showcased in ski and snowmobile scenes featuring vintage 1972 special effects that are nevertheless hysterical to kids. With a G rating, this is safe, relatively entertaining family fare. (Ages 5 and older) --Kimberly Heinrichs

Snowball Express harkens back to the days when Disney made live action family movies.This movie contains all Disney's standard jokes, pratfalls, and gags, which you'd think would make it boring.Surprisingly, it's not.The Rocky Mountains setting and snow covered landscape really add to the comedy and fun.Of note:The scene where Dean Jones attempts to ski for the first time is predictable, but still hilarious.This is a safe choice for families with pre-teen children that want to have a fun ...

- Gone but not forgotten
My mom and I saw this movie at the theater in 1972 and every so often she would say "do you remember the Snowball Express?"Well after searching on-line at Amazon, I bought it for her for Christmas. She was ecstatic. She and my three kids watched it and "howled" with laughter. She had to tell her sister about the big "find" and they re-watched again.It was by far the best Christmas present.
