Frosty the Snowman (1969) – Rewatch

Somehow this classic Christmas short manages to flesh out an entire special out of the well known song. By adding in a couple of extra named characters not mentioned in the lyrics, it presents a more thorough story of Frosty’s struggle between having fun with his new friends and melting away forever. Though it remains a bit questionable for a young girl to just hop on a freight train to the North Pole, the story is a mild diversion that doesn’t overstay its welcome, at least not until it decided to inspire multiple sequels, each with lessening returns.
