Santa Vs. The Snowman 3D
A holiday tradition is coming back again this year. From the Academy Award™ nominated team that brought you Jimmy Neutron, comes the IMAX 3D holiday film, Santa vs. the Snowman 3D opening December 18 at Pacific Science Center's Boeing IMAX Theater. This film tells the story of a lonely Snowman who becomes jealous of the affections heaped on Santa during Christmas, leading him to wage a comic war on him. The hilarious battle features such holiday defense mechanisms as hot chocolate squirt guns, giant Igloo Robot Walkers and even a 50-foot tall toy soldier manned by Santa himself. A great film for the entire family. - Buy Tickets

Preparing For Avatar
