gavin6942 Frosty the Snowman goes where he is needed most, and the town of Evergreen sure needs a visit. Mr. Tinkerton, the mayor (Tim Kenny), runs a tight ship, and there is no room for talk of magic or any other such nonsense.What brought my attention to this film was the casting of Burt Reynolds. Now, I figure if the film has a big enough budget to have a known entity narrate (and sing), it can't be too bad. But I would be wrong. Reynolds was alright, but his presence did not make up for this disgrace.Most of the characters are annoying, the special runs too long, the plot seems to flatly contradict earlier Frosty stories (all of which are better). Even the jokes, which could be funny, are delivered in such a way they just fall flat. How did this happen? Something went horribly wrong and this never should have made it to completion.

TheLittleSongbird The original Frosty the Snowman special is a classic, Frosty's Winter Wonderland was not as good but still delightful, while Frosty Returns was excrement. Watching Legend of Frosty the Snowman was like having my intelligence insulted again, except much worse. If you thought Frosty Returns was a mockery to the original, this thing in my opinions literally urinates over it. The animation consists of poorly drawn characters, flat colours and backgrounds that don't look completely finished, while the music is mind-numbingly bad with dull melodies, so dull in fact it makes you want to throw your Christmas dinner up. The voice talents consists of talented actors, who are wasted by their dialogue and characters, Frosty has absolutely no personality and Bill Fagerbakke's voice work is monotone and sounds as though he's bored. Speaking of the dialogue and characters, they are enough to ruin this on their own. The writing is unfunny and forced, and every single one of the characters are forgettable and annoying. The story is what really sinks Legend of Frosty the Snowman, it is thin, drawn-out and predictable, filled with disconnected scenes, and there are a few contradictions regarding the magician, his son and Karen. The pace feels stretched and considering how thin the story is the special feels too long. Overall, dreadful and an utter disgrace. 1/10 Bethany Cox

MyHemorrhoidsBleedForYou Legend of Frosty the Snowman is an absolutely fabulous cinematic full-length feature cartoon. I was especially impressed with the main plot and the weaving of multiple sub-plots. The endearing characters made me both laugh and cry. Frosty, for instance, despite his literally cold presence, was a warm chum for Walter. Walter, although a bit advanced for his purported age, provided many heart-rending lines that made pivotal scenes of the movie very endearing. Simply put, I was awestruck with the high quality of script. This movie should be in every child and adult stocking this Christmas. This is sure to become a classic holiday feature.

Canadiacookie I picked up the Frosty 3-pack at Toys R' Us this weekend and the first thing I did was watch this special. I have to say if you loved the original you should love this one.I wouldn't call this special a direct sequel to the original but unlike Frosty Returns it does make connections to the original special. So here's a bit of a spoiler as to the connection between the first special and this latest one.In this special the mayor of Evergreen is apparently one of the kids from the classic TV special. We get to see a younger version of him as well as Karen in the pages of a comic book explaining the origins of Frosty. There is a slight problem though, it turns out that he's the son of Professor Hinkle and that Frosty's hat was captured by a bitter kid. This contradicts what we saw in the original special as Frosty flies off on Santa's sleigh and there was no mention of Hinkle having a kid. My only other complaint not withstanding the continuity error is the voice actor for Frosty, they chose Bill Fagerbakke, otherwise known as Patrick from Spongebob. It's hard to take Frosty seriously when he sounds so dumbed down. Fortunately Frosty is barely noticeable throughout the special as the story concentrates on the cast of human characters instead.Nevertheless, despite the continuity error and Frosty's voice this is a highly enjoyable special that every Frosty fan should pick up. The problems that bugged me can be easily overlooked. This special may not surpass the original one but when compared to Frosty Returns this is a masterpiece.
