5.0 out of 5 stars The Christmas Classic, December 26, 2010

By 

Zachary Koenig "K-Dawg" (Forest Lake, MN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Frosty the Snowman (DVD)

Christmas is a time of tradition, whether from food, family, or fellowship. It is also the season when Hollywood tries to create their own traditions with the numerous "holiday specials" that clog the airways throughout the month of December. "Frosty the Snowman" is the cream of the crop.

The story is simple: A magic hat brings "Frosty" the snowman to life, after which he must travel to the North Pole to prevent being melted. Meanwhile, an evil magician is trying to redeem the hat for his own nefarious purposes.

Since 1951, children and adults alike have enjoyed this half-hour special. Kids will be sucked in by the magic and music, while adults may just find even their eyes welling up a bit when Frosty is threatened near the end.

Along with Claymation Rudolph, this TV special should be required watching around the holiday season.

I ordered this dvd after we had watched it on tv. My 2 year old son loved it, so we ordered it. It arrived so quickly and we have enjoyed watching it very much.

This review is from: Frosty the Snowman (DVD)

The five stars are actually for the original "Frosty the Snowman" featured on this DVD: a charmingly simple, captivating and funny Rankin Bass cartoon from around 1968 (see also their Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer). Unfortunately, "Frosty Returns", made some 25 years later and which also appears here, tries far too hard to be clever and switched-on with the odd "knowing" gag for the grown-ups. It succeeds only in being overly complex, cliched and completely charmless. And if you think this is the opinion of a Grinch-like grown-up, my two discerning children also preferred the original! (Also highly recommended as a pretty faithful, entertaining and child-friendly take on Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" is the excellent Mr Magoos Christmas Carol).
