Wissenswertes
Contrary to popular belief, this special is not a direct sequel to the original Frosty the Snowman (1969). Rankin/Bass produced the latter special, while Lorne Michaels' Broadway Video produced this special. Additionally, the animation was done by Bill Melendez of Peanuts fame, which is why the style is drastically different from the original Rankin/Bass special.

Patzer
When Frosty starts melting, Holly and Charles point out that there isn't any more snow on the ground, when in fact there is.

Zitate
Frosty: [sees the Summer Wheeze trucks pass by and spray the snow away] Oh, no!
Holly: Don't get upset, Frosty.
Frosty: Upset? "Upset" is waking up and finding out somebody forgot to give you a belly button. "Upset" is finding out somebody stole your nose to play foosball! This ain't "upset", kid! This is PANIC! I'm two squirts from being HISTORY!

Alternative Versionen
On CBS' more recent broadcasts, the opening and closing bookend shots with the narrator were inexplicably edited to remove the narrator himself, yet his narration was left in. The snowfall was also digitally erased. And the end credits are styled like the end credits to the Peanuts specials from the 80's and early 90's.

uglier weaker and less charm

Jonathan Winters as the narrator visits Beansborough's annual carnival but it may not happen this winter. Little Holly would rather play with her magic set. A heavy wind blows her magic hat which lands on a snowman. Frosty (John Goodman) comes alive with her hat. Mr. Twitchell has invented a spray Summer Wheeze which disappears snow and he sends out his trucks to spray his invention. Frosty is in danger. Holly has to convince everybody that snow is actually good.

The animation looks simplistic like old 70s kids show. However, it's different from the original Frosty the Snowman. The original is softer and more charming. This animation looks uglier. The spray actually seems like a good idea although Twitchell doesn't make sense. He's a weird villain who is battling nature. The whole thing seems like a late-night writing session gone wrong. This is way too stupid without the charm of the original. Also the songs are pretty weak. This is one Christmas special that doesn't need to be repeated.
