A 'grass is greener on the other side' tale of the adventures of a little snowman trying to get out of his snowglobe so he can join the many beautiful and alluring knickknacks that are partying on the other side of the glass. Of course, getting there is half the fun...

Of Interest:

In the original 1989 version, (available on the Tin Toy Stories VHS tape), the two female characters in the film--the sunbather and the mermaid--were substantially more "endowed". Think two crudely shaped, grapefruit size spheres stuck to their chests, with the mermaid topping hers with a pair of starfish. By the time the short was re-released with Finding Nemo, both of the female characters became flatchested and the mermaid now sports a clamshell bra similar to that of Ariel's in The Little Mermaid. Personally I think they should've left it as it was since the ridiculousness of their breasts was a great little sight-gag.

Knick Knack is also included as an extra on the Finding Nemo DVD.
