- Awesome Music: The song heard throughout the short, courtesy of Bobby McFerrin (of "Don't Worry, Be Happy" fame), is guaranteed to stay in your head for a long time.
- Ensemble Dark Horse: The pre-Bowdlerization versions of Sunny Miami and Sunny Atlantis have a small fan following for obvious reasons.
- Harsher in Hindsight: Now that John Lasseter's history of sexual misconduct has come to light, ultimately resulting in his resignation from Disney/Pixar, the short's premise of the snowman pursuing attractive, swimsuit-clad women feels a lot skeevier. Worse if you know that he has previously stated that it was created by the staff to "blow off steam" (though if it's any consolation, it was his idea to get rid of the women's comically large breasts for the 2003 version).
- Mis-blamed: When Pixar released the bowdlerized version of the short, a lot of people assumed that Disney had forced them to make the edit. The Pixar staff said that they had made that choice themselves. When they originally made it they were a bunch of lonely computer nerds, whereas at the time of the re-release, they were men with families, no longer comfortable with having women objectified in that fashion.
- They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: A vocal portion of viewers are not happy that Pixar removed the large breasts from Sunny Miami and Sunny Atlantis in the 2003 re-release, for obvious reasons.
