| Rankin Bass' Jack Frost | comment |
In this 1979 Rankin Bass winter special, reporters from all over the USA are gathering to see Pardon-Me Pete, the groundhog that does the whole Groundhog Day thing. He sees his shadow and runs back inside, but wait! There's no sun to make any shadows! Cut to inside the burrow, where Pete talks to the camera. He decides to explain all about a little agreement he has with Jack Frost...Jack Frost (voiced by Robert Morse) is the personification of winter, who uses his icy breath to bring ice and snow to the world. One day, as he's swooping invisibly through the town of January Junction, he overhears a conversation in which a young woman named Elisa playfully tells her family that the only person she's in love with is him.Father Winter allows him to become human, but warns him that he has until the first day of spring to win his wife and provide her with a house, gold, and a horse, or he must return to sprite form. Jack is sent to January Junction in the human guise of Jack Snip, a tailor.Largely unrelated to the prior Rankin-Bass version of Jack Frost, who was the Paul Frees-voiced villain in 1976's 2D animated Frosty's Winter Wonderland and returned in Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July, released just a few months prior to the Jack Frost special. | |

Winter Royal Lady: Holly's as close as the show gets; she's a snowflake-making sprite, but on earth they disguise her as a "gypsy princess." Father Winter could be considered a male example, as he is the sovereign over all things winter. | |

Gender Flip | |
| Rankin Bass' Jack Frost / int_34889673 | comment |
Gender Flip: The main plot is very similar to Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid": a water elemental falls in love with a human after rescuing them from drowning and becomes human in order to win their love. Added to that, the love interest never realizes the truth, and marries a noble who they believe was the one who saved their life. To further cement this, the elemental "dies" at their loved one's marriage to another, and even gives them a "kiss" goodbye. Ironically, the mermaid's ultimate fate, as a spirit unseen by humans, is how Jack starts and ends the special. | |

Foregone Conclusion | |
| Rankin Bass' Jack Frost / int_3bc88a7f | comment |
Foregone Conclusion: Jack Frost clearly is still a magic spirit at the beginning of the short which seems to take place in The '60s, so it's a given that he won't achieve his goal of becoming human permanently. | |

Bittersweet Ending: On the one hand, January Junction is saved and Elisa gets to marry her knight. On the other, Jack loses out on love, although he seems to get over it by staying with his heavenly friends. He also strikes up an arrangement with Pardon-Me Pete to fake him seeing his shadow so Pete can get more sleep and Jack has some more weeks of winter fun to play. | |

Lonely at the Top: Something both Jack and Kubla have in common; Jack Frost may have friends among Father Winter's other sprites, but he's the only one who leaves the big cloud to go spread frost around humanity, who can neither see nor hear him. The happiness of being me / Is not what it's cracked up to be / It's lonely being one of a kind Kubla Kraus may be called the King of the Cossacks and has all the money in January Junction, but no living creature can stand him. Whenever he's not terrorizing the countryside, he's all alone in his empty castle with his mechanical servants for company. As Kubla admits in his Villain Song, he feels miserable despite all of his power. I own the people and the land / So why is it I'm not happy I don't understand | |

Dramatically Missing the Point | |
| Rankin Bass' Jack Frost / int_9e9203e1 | comment |
Dramatically Missing the Point: Near the beginning of the special, Jack overhears Elisa tell her father that she loves Jack Frost. As Pardon Me Pete explains, Elisa was clearly referring to the ice patterns Jack makes, but Jack assumed that she meant him specifically. | |

Animals Hate Him | |
| Rankin Bass' Jack Frost / int_9fd18130 | comment |
Animals Hate Him: Kubla Kraus. No living creature can bear to be around him, so, to quote the narrator, "he had his horse Clangstomper, who ran by steam, and Fetch-Kvetch the butler, who ran by clockwork. Even the mice were artificial!" | |

Failure Hero | |
| Rankin Bass' Jack Frost / int_a03b1d9f | comment |
Failure Hero: As a human, Jack spectacularly fails in his attempts to oppose Kraus, until a stroke of luck in the end. Oh, right, he does tell Raveneau to ride faster at one point. | |

Imagine Spot | |
| Rankin Bass' Jack Frost / int_a7382a73 | comment |
Imagine Spot: Imagine song, technically. Too poor to afford Christmas gifts, the denizens of January Junction pass around a single box and pantomime their ideal gifts, even putting up a token fuss for good measure. note For those playing along at home, said gifts are a hat, a mirror, a shawl, and a watch. | |

Celestial Deadline: Jack Frost is only human until next spring; to become human permanently, he needs a house, a horse, a bag of gold, and a wife before then. | |

Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor | |
| Rankin Bass' Jack Frost / int_b5bd58a3 | comment |
Rich Suitor, Poor Suitor: Both Jack "Snip" Frost and Sir Raveneau court Elisa, with Jack as the poor suitor trying to become rich and Sir Raveneau as a wealthy knight. Unusual for the trope however, both of them are good men and the "rich suitor" wins out. | |

Nice Guy: Despite conventions of storytelling and (unwittingly) being a rival to Jack for Elisa's affections, Sir Raveneau is by all means a kind and heroic knight. | |

Frictionless Ice | |
| Rankin Bass' Jack Frost / int_cdca7d73 | comment |
Frictionless Ice: In the real world, falling down a hill and landing on a suddenly frozen lake surface would probably hurt a lot; but when Elisa does it, she just glides across the lake on her bottom, laughing. | |

Refreshingly Normal Life-Choice | |
| Rankin Bass' Jack Frost / int_d9f4777d | comment |
Refreshingly Normal Life-Choice: Jack Frost tells Father Winter that he wants to be human because, as the spirit of winter he's invisible to humans and can't share their fun when they appreciate his snow. He sings he wants to be an ordinary guy so he would fall in love and have a simple life, instead of being the spirit of winter, and concludes tearfully that "it's lonely being one of a kind." Touched, Father Winter agrees into turning him temporarily into a human, but adverts him that, until the first day of spring, he must have earned a wife, a home to shelter, a horse and a bag of gold, or else he will become a sprite again. Jack doesn't succeed, but eventually gets over it. | |
