A Disappointing Continuation

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

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.

Don't be fooled into thinking this slush has anything to do with the classic children's Christmas special. In fact, the word Christmas is avoided like the plague, along with almost anything that is connected with Christmas. No Rudolph, no Santa, no Nativity, no Christmas tree; nothing.The holiday referenced? Winter Festival, whatever that is. In the story, it looks like a company picnic thing where a few small carnival booths are erected to take your money in those impossible skill games. Snow is the only thing in the story, and the only source of conflict. Adults hate it. Misled kids hate it. The evil clichéd big business guy really really hates it. So the corporate guy wants to melt all the snow with some aerosol thing, and nobody in the town even cares, except for Frosty and some girl who thinks she's a magician, and her brother. That's it. Oh and Johnathon Winters is there as some little midget that flies around on snowflakes. What he is supposed to be is never explained and never makes sense. Frosty doesn't look or act the same, as he did in the original, and the story line has absolutely no connection to the events and characters of the original. He's as afraid to mention Christmas as everybody else is, and doesn't really have much to do except whine. The writing has no warmth, no humor, no heart. The story (what there is of it) never engages and brings no emotional response when resolved. The animation is cheap and ugly. The characters are poorly developed, if at all.There was a much better sequel to the original Frosty called Frosty's Winter Wonderland, where he meets the love of his life and gets married. See that instead. Hopefully, the network that carries Frosty will start airing that sequel with it, and melt this one down.

If other reviews haven't already told you, this isn't that good a special. I'm not sure why it gets aired as often as it does. I haven't seen the other sequels to Frosty the Snowman, but they are probably better than this. So much of what one loved about the original special is missing in this one. Most of the plot doesn't make sense and none of the characters from the original, save for Frosty, is even in this. Typically, this is a good special to skip while you watch more enjoyable specials that I hope you either have or can find elsewhere. This probably is a good special to some people, but I find this to be very dull and pointless with only wasted time in store for people who watch it.

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.
