Frosty the Snowman

"Frosty the Snowman" is a popular Christmas song written by Steve "Jack" Rollins and Steve Nelson in 1950. It was written after Gene Autry recorded "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" and the single sold 2 million copies. Rollins and Nelson shopped the new song to Autry, who recorded Frosty in search of another seasonal hit.

Frosty Returns

This 1992 half-hour special, although yet another sequel to the 1969 classic, was produced not by Rankin-Bass but by CBS, and the characters, setting, and voices are different; and the animation (by veteran Peanuts director Bill Melendez) is vastly different. It is, however, shown back-to-back with Frosty each Christmas season on CBS and been bundled on DVD with the R-B original.

Frosty arrives in the town of Beansboro and meets young Holly DeCarlo (voiced by Elisabeth Moss). Meanwhile, evil Mr. Twitchell (voiced by Brian Doyle-Murray) is the inventor of "Summer Wheze", an aerosol spray that instantly melts snow. The town of Beansboro falls head over heels for it. Frosty is concerned about his safety and Holly is concerned about the evironmental impact of the untested product. Holly gets Frosty to appear at the annual Beansboro Winter Carnival to persuade the townspeople to rethink their newfound hatred of snow.
