Frosty Returns | comment |
Frosty Returns is a 1992 Christmas Special and semi-sequel to Frosty the Snowman. It is co-produced by Bill Meléndez, made famous for animating the Peanuts specials. It features narration from Jonathan Winters, and features the voice talents of Andrea Martin, Brian Doyle-Murray, Jan Hooks, Elisabeth Moss, Michael Patrick-Carter, and John Goodman as Frosty himself.Frosty visits the town of Beansboro, where he meets lonely kid magician Holly DeCarlo who only has one friend. The two soon discover the town has a dislike against snow and winter, and the power-hungry tycoon Mr. Twitchell invents Summer Wheeze, an aerosol spray which makes snow disappear upon contact. Frosty and Holly must work together to convince the town that winter is a special season and everyone should do their part in keeping it alive.CBS airs it several times every holiday season in tandem with the original Frosty. | |

The narrator also mentions that Mr. Twitchell ceased the production of Summer Wheeze and starts making sleds instead. | |

Digital Destruction | |
Frosty Returns / int_b02f21f | comment |
Digital Destruction: Current airings use an HD remaster that was seemingly created by re-scanning the film negative like any other Classic Media Christmas special, which normally wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for all the digital effects that weren't part of the film but rather added directly to tape. As a result, current airings lack the beginning/ending sequence of Jonathan Winters' character riding on a CGI snowflake (leaving only a barren night sky in its place,) and snowfall is missing from numerous other shots. The only digital effect they restored was the credits (but even those are a little different; closer to the traditional 1980s/90s Peanuts-style credit scroll.) The 2014 video release also adds two commercial fade-ins where there weren't any before. | |
