==Plot==
The short film starts with a boy looking out of the window. He is really excited because it is snowing. After desperate begging to go outside, the boy's mother agrees. But before the mother could let her son play outside, the mother needs to give him some warmth. She puts three sweaters on the boy, and when she's about to put a scarf on, the boy attempts to run, but he gets caught.
Later, the mother places his son outside of the house. The boy attempts to walk into the snow, but due to the amount of sweaters his mother put on him, he is unable to move his arm and legs. After vigirous struggling, the boy suddenly falls over. Now he has his head stuck in the snow.
The camera zooms out, showing a bunch of kids suffering the same fate as the boy.
==Trivia==
*According to Pete Docter, the inspiration for this short film came from one of his two daughters. When Docter was living in Minnesota, one of his two daughters wanted to play in the snow. Docter's parents would dress her up so much, she could not move her arms and legs. Docter told that story to some people at CalArts, and one of those people said "That'll make a good short."
*The part in which the boy cannot move his body is similar to a scene in the 1983 film , in which one of kids has so many sweaters, that he cannot put his arms down, and when he falls, he has trouble getting back up.
