Snow Dogs is a 2002 Disney comedy film directed by Brian Levant, with the screenplay by Jim Kouf, Tommy Swerdlow, Michael Goldberg, Mark Gibson and Philip Halprin. The film is about Ted Brooks, DDS (Cuba Gooding Jr.), a Miami dentist who discovers that he was adopted when he receives a letter informing him of the reading of his recently deceased birth mother's will, in Tolketna, Alaska. Once there, he discovers that he has inherited his mother's sled dogs, chief among them a temperamental husky named Demon, and is falling for Barb (Joanna Bacalso), the local bartender who was also a close friend of his biological mother. Ted must learn the trade or lose his pack to a crusty mountain man James "Thunder Jack" Johnson (James Coburn).The film also stars Nichelle Nichols as Ted's adopted mother Amelia Brooks, Sisqó as his adopted cousin Rupert Brooks and Graham Greene as Peter Yellowbear.Though marketed as a wacky talking-animal comedy, it's actually more of a story about exploring your roots, with some Fish out of Water comedy spiced throughout.The story was inspired by the novel Winterdance: The Fine Madness of Running the Iditarod, by Gary Paulsen. | |

Never Trust a Trailer | |
| Snow Dogs / int_19ebe383 | comment |
Never Trust a Trailer: The trailer heavily implies that it is a straight-up comedy starring talking dogs. In truth, they only speak in one scene and the entire scene is merely a dream. (Basically, it's like an Alaskan version of Kangaroo Jack, though unlike that movie Snow Dogs was family-oriented from the get-go.) | |

Argument of Contradictions: Ted and Thunder Jack do this twice. First is when Jack tells Ted to pack up and leave Tolketna. Ted responds that he's not going anywhere. The second time is after Jack rescues Ted from the cold after he loses the dogs. Jack chastises Ted for his foolishness, and Ted reminds Jack that if he had told him what he wanted to know about Lucy he wouldn't have been out in the first place. | |

Idiot Ball: Thunder Jack is portrayed as a hardened, experienced sledder, and tells off Ted for being a greenhorn. Jack, in an attempt to get ahead, stupidly rides into a storm. Suddenly, it's Ted who has to save his ass from trouble. Justified in-film due to Jack's desperation to go out on a high note causing him to do something he wouldn't otherwise do. | |

Jerkass: Olivier, the arrogant French sledder: The favourite to win the Arctic Challenge gets himself some food at the checkpoint before feeding his own dogs (for which the judges penalize him). Then he meets his karma by having a block of frozen Gatorade dropped on his head, knocking him unconscious. | |

Vomit Discretion Shot | |
| Snow Dogs / int_edaedf90 | comment |
Vomit Discretion Shot: At the beginning of the film, young Ted vomits when he sees a patient's mouth, and it immediately cuts to an older Ted having fun in his swimming pool, 25 years later. | |

Same Race Means Related | |
| Snow Dogs / int_f0842e59 | comment |
Same Race Means Related: When Ted is told his father is living in Tolketna, Alaska, he assumes his dad must be the only other black man in town. It turns out his father is actually Thunder Jack, who's white. | |

Brick Joke: A couple of times in the movie, Ted is told that he should bite Demon on the ear to command his respect. Near the end, he finally does so—and Jack is surprised that he would be dumb enough to actually do so, suggesting that Ted was just being trolled. | |
