Frosty the Snowman is one of Rankin / Bass' most well-known and beloved pieces of work. Frosty Returns, despite its title, has very little to do with the original. Kellen brings Adham Fisher back to the 2013 Earth-2.net: The Show Advent Calendar, and you'd be surprised who has the most negative view. [ 1:03:35 || 30.9 MB ]

I'm not finished the show yet so I'm not sure if you touch on it later but I'm a bit surprised that you haven't mentioned the REAL sequel to Frosty. In the 70's Rankin/Bass did a show called Frosty's Winter Wonderland much more in keeping with the first one and with the voice of Jackie Vernon as Frosty. There was also a Stop Motion Feature film that was a sequel to both Frosty's Winter Wonderland and Rudolph's Shiny New Year a few years after that called Rudolph & Frosty's Christmas in July. Next year perhaps?

The main difference is that Frosty Returns is shown by CBS every year along with the original. The other ones are occasionally seen on ABC Family but rarely besides that.
