Frosty the Snowman (1969)
A discarded silk top-hat becomes the focus of a struggle between a washed-up stage magician and a group of schoolchildren, after it magically brings a snowman to life. Realizing that newly-living Frosty will melt in spring unless he takes refuge in a colder climate, Frosty and Karen, a young girl who he befriends, stow away on a freight train headed for the north pole. Little do they know that the magician is following them, and he wants his hat back!

- This is a review of the 2006 version, not the classic version. What I thought of it: Well the whole movie was down right silly. Not to mention creepy. Why did all the kids love Frosty the Snowman when all he ever did was cause trouble? I don't thing there was a single good thing that he himself did the entire movie. Also, the animation was pretty horrible. Everyone looked very unrealistic, and slightly creepy (some looked more than slightly creepy). And the voice characters where bad too. I mean once, just once, can we actually have a young boy voicing a young boy instead of a grown woman? I don't remember the original movie, but it had to have been better than this. Overall it was a horrible movie.
- Classic!
