Whatยs so special about Santa? Sure, thereยs that delivering-Christmas-gifts-all-around-the-world bit, but really, heยs just a fat guy in a red suit, right? Well, at least thatยs the way the snowman in Santaยs Polar Blast 4D feels. To settle the score, the snowman concocts a secret plan to take over Santaยs Village and steal Christmas. But Santa, jolly or not, doesnยt give up without a fight. Pretty soon the North Pole is the site of an epic ย and hilarious ย battle, and youยre right in the middle of it. With the 4D film, you see everything in 3D, but according to the scene youยre watching, youยll also feel bursts of cold air, smell pine or gingerbread and even get a bit of a misting from the snowfall. The animated film screens at 2, 3 and 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, with additional screenings at 5 and 6 p.m. Thursdays, 10:30 a.m., 12:30, 1:30, 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. Saturdays, and 12:30, 1:30, 3:30 and 4:30 p.m. Sundays. The Health Museum, 1515 Hermann Drive. For information, call 713-521-1515 or visit www.thehealthmuseum.org. $4.
