I have seen this film about a dozen times, and I still don't understand why everyone hates it so much. The Animation is good to look at and it has John Goodman. Probably one of the most underrated Christmas Specials along with The Tangerine Bear, Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas, and more

Pretend this hideous sequel doesn't exist. It contains none of the magic of the original. I made the mistake of sitting down and watching this with my son. The writing was terrible, I am baffled as to how the trademark holders allowed this script to get a green light. It completely butchered the story of Frosty, it turned the entire thing into some kind of political statement, completely negating the fun and magical story that the original embodied. This should have never been made, and for everyone who is a fan of frosty, just pretend this film doesn't even exist. You will be much better off simply watching the original again :)

This television special is only 22 minutes long. We're in trouble if that's the best thing I can say about it.There are some pluses and minuses. Brian Doyle-Murray as Mr. Twitchell is a plus. John Goodman's singing voice as Frosty the Snowman is a major minus unfortunately. I like John Goodman, but the man can't carry a tune. I'm not sure why he'd be in a television special where he has to sing when that is the case.The animation and character look in this special is very similar to Charlie Brown. There's nothing wrong with it. You know this special was aired originally in 1992 because there's an MTV reference.Another thing I liked about this movie is the friendship theme. It's one we want to reinforce in children. Other than that, it's a quick, relatively enjoyable 22 minutes.Watch the original and give this a glance if you have the chance.

Jonathan Winters arrives riding a snowflake and eating chocolate macaroons to tell the story of how Frosty the Snowman and his friend Holly DeCarlo stopped the richest man in Beansboro, Pennsylvania from ridding the town of all its snow with a new synthetic aerosol he created.Frosty and Holly finally have their big showdown with Mr. Twitchell and his cool pet cat 'Bones' in Gooseberry Park during the city's annual winter carnival.Slight superficial 'sequel' pales to the original, but can be enjoyed on its own terms.
