If you are given the choice between watching this special and have bleach poured in your eyes, a drill put through your arm, a kick to the junk and sand poured into your mouth...you will have a difficult decision to make.

Frosty makes good on this promise to be “back again someday” in CBS’s 1992 animated special _Frosty Returns_. John Goodman assumes the role of Frosty, who comes to life when the hat of a young girl training to be a magician lands on him, and he proceeds to teach the people of Beansboro to appreciate winter. Basically a not so thinly veiled piece of environmentalist propaganda. Completely divorced from the Rankin/Bass classic, there’s no mention of Christmas or Santa. And Frosty is turned into an annoying jokester constantly doing standup; indeed, with Lorne Michaels at the helm the tone is all about jokes and slapstick. Also, the animation looks rather cheap with a lot of squiggly lines and exaggerated features. A disappointing follow-up, _Frosty Returns_ but doesn’t really.

This was one of the most poorly-animated and worst-written Christmas "special" I've ever seen. PLEASE don't waste your time. What a waste of a talented voice cast.
