Synopsis

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,.

BlazeLime Strong and Moving!
Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
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 :)
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) Back in the early 90s, Frosty returned for another short film and I have to say this one did not really impress me. Then again, this also goes for all the Frosty films except the very first in my opinion. Rankin and Bass did not direct this one, but instead Evert Broan and Bill Melendez were in charge and you could easily see that they have worked on Charlie Brown for a very long time. It looks a lot like a Charlie Brown movie actually and it maybe also was no coincidence that the human male lead character's name was Charles. In any case, this is an interesting watch in terms of voice acting, because it has John Goodman as Frosty and I am a fan of him. And apart from that, Mad Men fans will be curious about the 10-year-old Elizabeth Moss in this one. Their farewell scene at the end was actually pretty nice, but apart from that there aren't really many memorable aspects to remember from this 1992 short film. Not recommended.
thekyrose I should have known better. I had gotten a box set called "The Original Christmas Classics". It's the 1 with Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, The Little Drummer Boy, Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol, Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer, the Original Frosty The Snowman, The Cricket On The Hearth....and THIS mess. I thought it was the 1 with Crystal. How I regret that it isn't. Did someone @ CBS owe a loan shark with an artist wanna-be for a grand child? To say that this is the worse sequel since Halloween 3 can't even cover it. The only thing it has in common with the original is that there are humans in it, it's the Christmas season and a snowman comes to life...oh, and it names the snowman as "Frosty", and he is white in color. While characters in this "presentation", may make references to elements reminiscent of the original, that's stretching it a bit...so is having to give this a rating of 1 (awful). I didn't see any ratings in the negative like -9 terrible, -7 horrible, -5 sucks...-3 blows chunks...-.9 animators need to be drawn & quartered, hung, shot AND disemboweled. While I have seen different actors who regret doing certain projects, I gotta wonder just how far they'll pimp their talent? John Goodman is a fine actor, but...why this one? This monstrosity makes King Ralph look like Masterpiece Theatre.
kill-the-boxtrolls I saw this film the first time on TV 2 years ago while my sister was with a babysitter and I thought it was not bad. I watched it a long time ago when I was like 7 (Years) old and I thought it was still not bad but I got this movie on DVD from the library to watch with my sister and with somebody's 3 year old and oh no, I noticed this film was quite awful. The 3 year old could not understand it that he got up to play a little dress up with dirty clothes in just 2 minutes. 5 minutes later, my sister's eyes were tired and then a moment later she got up to play outside. I was left alone watching this and I thought it was terrible absurd for a holiday film. It's like the worst Christmas movie you have ever seen and a bad sequel off Frosty the snowman and a horrible rip-off for some of the characters off of Charley Brown like they edited them and take all the comedy off. I did not laugh at this film at all, I am so tired thinking about it yesterday so I played my DS towards the end of the film because I kept taking my eyes off it. Afterwards I went to go watch Little house on the prairie for like 2 and a half hour and still didn't get my gorgeous 30 minutes back. This film definitely takes your time away and makes you want to watch something for a whole 5 days to get your life back. This film has two choices. It needs to go to Hell, or it needs to be taken off air forever and ever. It was not the worst worst worst film but quite beyond that. It was more decidedly awful. My rates for this film Plot: Quite terrible and incomprehensible. It's like Frosty incomprehends me snowman. I didn't get the point of how they use something to disappear snow and all. Grade: D+ Animation: Bad. It was like… a Tarantula or some foolish person made the animation. Grade: D Characters: Bad rip-offs of Charley brown again and… Hard to explain lets forget the characters. Grade: C Voices: The voices were OK but Holly, she sounded like a 7 and a 6 year old but she looks like a 8, 9, 10, 11 year old kind of. Her voice should have sounded a little more mature. Grade: -B Movements: They were bad like somebody skipping 888 percent from place to the corner. Just terrible! Grade: D+ Script: Incomprehensible script as again same with the plot. I nearly got the whole script it just made me feel like Somebody… Like I'm dead. The script almost totally killed me. Grade: -D Movie: The whole movie is absurd and terrible so that is all. Grade: E Song: The songs were not bad but they did not fit the music. Make more effort to them and the movie. Main rating: D Bad for a movie. Somebody please cancel the air and continue playing The snowman and Frosty the snowman and winterwonder land versions should be kept forever I loved them all to death! But the legend of frosty the snowman was nearly bad too but a little better than this. I think people should pack up making these frosty the snowman movies stink like crap. I can't say bad words but for this one has got to be gone and melted. Bring back the older ones and stop making these poopy craps! I thought this movie was made in the middle of the 80s it seemed like but they do not get them Ugh!
