Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
In the same way that many a Hollywood sequel has little to do with the first film, Frosty Returns has almost nothing in common with the original Frosty the Snowman, aside from a man made of snow. The biggest difference is that this Frosty doesn't need a magic hat to come to life. The story: In the town of Beansboro, old Mr. Twitchell has invented an aerosol spray that can remove snow without the hassle of shoveling or plows. This frightens Frosty, who enlists the help of amateur magician Holly and her friend Charles to stop the old coot. Made in 1992, Frosty Returns has an animation style that looks like a cross between the old Schoolhouse Rock and Peanuts cartoons, with voice talent that includes Jonathan Winters, Andrea Martin, Jan Hooks, Brian Doyle-Murray, and John Goodman as Frosty. The story may be divisive, pitting children against adults and a pro-snow contingent against anti-snow people, but the songs are catchy and the message is one that ultimately empowers kids. Like a hero from an old Western, this Frosty is a wanderer who leaves when his job is done so he can work his magic elsewhere. --Andy Spletzer

4.0 out of 5 stars I Didn't Like It WhenI Firs saw It But I watched It Again and I now Like It!, October 15, 2005
A Kid's Review
I agree that Frosty Returns is definitely not as good as Frosty the Snowman and when I first watched it on TV I was disappointed with it but I have since seen it again and though I still think it's not as good as Frosty the Snoman I actually thought it was dood and I think John Goodman, Jonathan Winters and every other actor who provided their voices were good and I'm glad I watched this cartoon again and gave it a second chance. I originally wrote a 1 star review trashing this and when I rewatched it I realized that it wasn't as bad as I originally thought and that I was too harsh in my review and I have changed my opinion about Frosty Returns!

5.0 out of 5 stars Give It A Chance and Find Out It's Good!, April 9, 2003
By A Customer
Okay so this isn't as good as Frosty the Snowman or Frosty's Winter Wonderland but once you get past the fact that it doesn't resemble those two classics you just may be able to allow youself to find out that it's pretty good on it's own and that's what happened to me, I hated it the first time I saw it and whined and complained about it and reluctantly watched it again a couple of years later but to my surprise I liked it and think 5 stars is a good rating and I could see watching Frosty's Return every December too and I actually recommend this if you are a collector of Christmas videos and DVD's.

1.0 out of 5 stars Let's go make a fertility goddess?????? What the......, December 20, 2007
By Dan Swan (Suisun City, CA) - See all my reviews
Okay. Sat down to watch this for the first time with my son figuring that it would be good ole' Frosty with a new storyline. Wrong. We got about 5 minutes into it and I realized that someone had hi-jacked a kids character and storyline and replaced it with greeny, pagan propaganda. First, one of the little boys says "Let's go outside and make a fertility goddess". I'm like.....what the.....what the ....what is this doing in a kids Christmas time animated classic? Then the fact that Frosty doesn't need his magic hat anymore. Then the obvious corporate knocking message about a snow eliminating spray. That was it. Turned it off and instead put in the original Rankin-Bass classic. This one is going to get hung in the window as a sun catcher, that is all it is good for.

I wish I had never seen this. I didn't realize it wasn't a follow up to the original Frosty. It's a shame it was done by the same person who gave us the charming Peanuts classics.
