...king or snow job. Many a coed, dating up a storm, gets snowed (or sewed) for an infatuated spell called snow time (if her king is too cool, she may have to shovel out the snow).

Gus Solomons, Jr. doubled nicely as Nana, the St. Bernard "nurse," and the crocodile who snapped off Captain Hook's right hand. His choreography, however, is rather colorless and insufficiently rehearsed...
