"Happy Birthday!" to Frosty in DVD, August 8, 2000
This review is from: Golden Bible Atlas (Hardcover)
Who didn't grow up watching Frosty ?
Certain Christmas traditions were inevitable where I grew up: no school (yea!), toys (obviously), snowball fights and sled races (yea again!) and of course, christmas cartoons. "Frosty the Snowman" was already a classic when I was a kid and time has changed nothing about the tale of a Snowman brought to life by a magical tophat. Memorable vocal contributions by Jimmy Durante (whose unique song-stylings turn his rendition of the Frosty song into the stuff of legend), Billy De Wolfe (tricky, tricky, tricky, Professor Hinkle), and the unforgettable Jackie Vernon as the bellywhopping magical man of snow, Frosty.
Now there's only one reason why I'm unhappy with this release: NO extras on the DVD. There is a trend in studios nowadays to release as many titles as they can on DVD to see how well they do, then re-release a new version with cool extras and features much later. I don't know if FROSTY will be re-released, but I'd be willing to wait it out a year to see what happens.
