An old silk hat is being fought over by a career-ending magician and a group of schoolchildren. After all, it’s not just a hat, it helped bring the snowman to life. Realizing that the snowman will begin to melt in the spring, Frosty the snowman and the little girl Frosty befriended head for the North Pole. The magician, on the other hand, pursues them, wanting his hat back.

Frosty the Snowman is one of my all-time favorite holiday specials along with Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer. I look forward to watching it each year (without commercials since I own the home video on VHS) and enjoy the scene where Frosty comes to life with his first words “Happy Birthday!” Unfortunately, the thermometer becomes red and Frosty, concerned about melting, embarks with Karen and Hocus the rabbit to the North Pole.

It was sad when evil magician Professor Hinkle locked Frosty and Karen in the greenhouse, Frosty melted and Karen broke down crying. However, Santa saved the day when Frosty came back to life.

The voicework by Jimmy Durante, Billy DeWolfe and Jackie Vernon is outstanding. Although all three are gone, their memories live on in this jolly, happy holiday classic.
