Frosty Returns is an animated Christmas television special starring Jonathan Winters as the narrator and John Goodman as the voice of Frosty the Snowman. The special was directed by Bill Melendez and Evert Brown and features music by Mark Mothersbaugh. It first aired in 1992 on CBS. The special is not a direct sequel to the original 1969 special, as the two were produced by different companies, and feature different characters, setting and voice actors. Since Broadway Video produced this special and owned the 1969 original, Frosty Returns follows the CBS showings of the original and is coupled with the original on all DVD releases,.

Reviews

Arthur Hunter 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 :)

athomed 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.

John Allen Oh, to start, the music is terrible. I could get better sounds from my old MIDI generator. The Nintendo Entertainment System had better sound than this cartoon. The animation is awful, like no effort was put into it. The plot line is terrible, and while that's not as important, it should at least be cohesive enough to watch, and it's not. Now, I love John Goodman, but he can't sing, at least not here. I love Jonathon Winters, but this is just beneath him, it really is. If you have kids, and want to plop them down in front of the TV and watch this cartoon, they may behave better if you immediately threaten afterward that bad behavior will result in multiple viewings. That should help.Otherwise, avoid this movie. It's a waste of time.

Tracy_Terry_Moore 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.
