Reviews
Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Christmas-Reviewer BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 300 HOLIDAY FILMS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.This dull sequel should just melt and go away. What is shocking to me was that Saturday Night Live;s Lorne Michaels produced this and the jokes on this cartoon fall flat as a pancake. The special begins with a musical number showing that Beansboro Elementary School is canceled for the day due to a seven-inch snowfall. While the adults incessantly complain about the problems snow and ice cause, the children enjoy the opportunity to play outside.The scene then shifts to Holly DeCarlo, a lonely young girl and aspiring magician with only one friend, a tone-deaf, somewhat geeky character named Charles who has a knack for climatology. While practicing a magic act with Charles, the wind blows Holly's hat off her head, out the window, and onto a snowman who comes to life as Frosty, thus revealing that Holly's hat was "that old silk hat" featured in the original song and previous adaptations.Now does that sound exciting of course not. This cartoon is slow and boring. I am not sure why Rankin/Bass were not involved in this special. They created the original classic "Frosty the Snowman" cartoon as well as other classic Christmas cartoons. This cartoon sure could of used their brand of Christmas Magic. Lorne Michaels is no Rankin/Bass.The story never comes together. It also seems to end rather quickly. It seems to me that it started off as maybe as one hour program but it was edited down. I love the original so much that this was a major disappointment. It was like getting coal in my stocking.
utgard14 Frosty has returned to indoctrinate your children. Deplorable propaganda that has an in-name-only Frosty the Snowman fighting a polluting businessman. Ugh. Just so much ugh. This has nothing to do with Christmas. Instead we have Winter Carnival. One of the kids says "Let's go outside and make a fertility goddess." What. The. Hell. Frosty's not even allowed to have a pipe, no doubt due to the drastic increase in pipe-smoking children after the original Frosty aired. The songs are absolutely terrible! I hope no one was paid for them. The animation is sloppy and unattractive. This is an agenda-driven cartoon made by screwed-up people who hate Christmas. Sadly, even after 22 years, CBS continues to air this monstrosity after the genuine classic 1969 cartoon.
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.
jimy23 This is not a Sequel to Frosty the Snowman it's barely a Christmas show There already is a sequel it's called Frosty's Winter Wonderland. I am not as angry with this special as some people are but it's problems The villain is not a villain at all he has made a great invention a spray that melts snow and ice.Frosty and holly the girl who brought him to life with a magic hat have to stop the spray that swept the town trucks go by spraying the stuff around like DDT trucks.There is no mention of Christmas or Holiday the only thing anyone talks about is the Winter Carnival for all i know this takes place in January or February there's one part were someone says it should only snow on the Winter Carnival what about snowing on Christmas.Holly's friend Charles has no imagination and can't believe frosty came to life by magic And frosty can live without his hat on his pipe is even gone. I believe that Christmas came from the winter solstice and i would not mind a winter solstice Christmas special but this is to PC it's not all bad but it's got many flaws.One thing i don't get is why frosty's winter wonderland from Rankin Bass air once or twice a year on ABCfamily and this airs every time Frosty does.
