Summary: Hurray for Frosty! Blah for Frosty Returns.
Review: I'll chime in and agree with many of the other reviews I've read. Bought this disc this holiday season (as our tape is getting a bit worn - 4yo's watch Christmas specials all year long. Hehe.) Was looking forward to seeing Returns since it's not on the tape and was quite disappointed. Still, the original Frosty is as excellent now as it was when I first saw it as a child, and the DVD transfer is great.Frosty - *****
Frosty Returns - ***

Summary: A Tradition to Pass On
Review: It wasn't truly Christmas unless you got to watch this fanciful story on TV. It was also heartbreaking when you missed it. Now that it is on DVD that heartbreak won't happen. It has become one of my sons favorite everyday stories. It is great to have a tradition to pass on to my son.

Summary: One of the BEST Family Oriented Films EVER MADE!
Review: No holiday film is more beloved and revered than Frosty the Snowman, other than Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and the Grinch. This 1969 Masterpiece was written by the GREAT Romeo Muller, the GREATEST writer who ever lived, the man REALLY understood children. This film has a lot for both parents and children to enjoy. It has Jackie Vernon, giving warmth and kindness to Frosty the Snowman, Jimmy Durante as the EXCELLENT narrator, and Billy Dewolf as the SILLY Professor Hinkle (one of my all time favorite characters of Christmas Mythology.) This film also includes my personal favorite recording of ANY Christmas Song, the Jimmy Durante rendition of the title song. (I must recomend that you purchase the spliced version on CD.) You just can't go wrong with this film. A great one for children just seeing it for the first time, or for parents who grew up with it themselves. You must also buy the sequel, "Frosty's Winter Wonderland" and the semi sequel "Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July", both buy Romeo Muller. PLEASE AVOID THE PIECE OF GARBAGE CLAIMING TO BE A SEQUEL ENTITLED "FROSTY RETURNS", ALSO ISSUED BY GOLDEN BOOKS. IT IS A POOR PLOTLESS ATTEMPT AT A CHRISTMAS SPECIAL INDEED AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FROSTY THAT WE KNOW AND LOVE.

Summary: A GREAT CLASSIC!
Review: The 5 stars go for the great classic of "FROSTY" not for "FROSTY RETURNS". It's still nice to have, but the classic is why you should buy this DVD. It aired on Sunday night at 7:30 - 8:00 on
CBS 12/7/69 right after another holiday classic which aired 7:00 - 7:30 on CBS..."A Charlie Brown Christmas"

Summary: A Christmas classic
Review: This delightful 1969 animation based on the popular song is a holiday treat that many of us grew up watching, and now we can share it with our children. By today's standards, the animation is crude, but the story is heartwarming and the narration and singing by Jimmy Durante make it a priceless treasure. We are introduced to Frosty, a snowman made by some school children with a corncob pipe, two lumps of coal and a magician's hat that brings him to life. When the temperature starts to rise, Frosty hitches a ride on a freight train bound for the North Pole. However, the evil Professor Hinkle is hot on his trail to try to melt Frosty and get his hat back. Finally, Santa Claus saves the day. My son is almost three years old and he loved this video. No doubt your child will too.

Summary: Transfixes my 3 year old!
Review: This is a Christmas classic, of course. We rented it last year for my 2-year-old and she was transifxed. So I bought it on DVD this year, and she's still hooked. I like the fantasy and the lesson in the original version. As for Frosty 2, I've seen it several times, but I just don't like it. Unfrtunately, my little girl seems to like it more than the original. I won't take points off, like a couple other reviewers, because I don't really feel I had to pay for it. (Though I would very much prefer to have another classic Rankin and Bass or two on the same DVD (e.g., Frosty and Rudolph)!

Summary: Super Christmas Show!!
Review: This is a super Christmas show. I just love Frosty. My favorite Christmas song is Frosty The Snowman. My favorite of the Frosty series is Frosty's Winter Wonderland. It is not on this DVD. I wish that it was. There is plenty of room for it to be. I don't really care for Frosty Returns. It is worth watching once. I don't recomend watching it every Christmas. I could live without watching Frosty Returns again.
