Let's go make a fertility goddess?????? What the......
Added 12/21/2007
Okay. Sat down to watch this for the first time with my son figuring that it would be good ole' Frosty with a new storyline. Wrong. We got about 5 minutes into it and I realized that someone had hi-jacked a kids character and storyline and replaced it with greeny, pagan propaganda. First, one of the little boys says "Let's go outside and make a fertility goddess". I'm like.....what the.....what the ....what is this doing in a kids Christmas time animated classic? Then the fact that Frosty doesn't need his magic hat anymore. Then the obvious corporate knocking message about a snow eliminating spray. That was it. Turned it off and instead put in the original Rankin-Bass classic. This one is going to get hung in the window as a sun catcher, that is all it is good for.

Let your kids be the judge...

I was disappointed when I saw how it had nothing to do with the lovable Original classic. I thought maybe its my maturity setting in - but my 3 and 2 year old basically gave this a bad review - they walked off after a few minutes into the story - too uninterested. I think the target audience is wrong in this one. The makers are trying way too hard to incorporate political issues at a time when all kids just want to see kid stuff!

I wish I had never seen this. I didn't realize it wasn't a follow up to the original Frosty. It's a shame it was done by the same person who gave us the charming Peanuts classics.

1960's Classic Comes To This?
Added 12/3/2007
Narration is OK but the story is weak and the songs are brilliantly unremarkable. I cringed when I watched this with my son. I admit I grew up with the original show with Jimmy Durante narrating and the title song a well written classic, rather than a lame paean to 1990's PC themes. This is probably inevitable in that you unfortunately can't re-make something from that era with the same innocence and feel: not in an era where Christmas has become lifeless. Oops! I said Christmas, I meant Happy Holidays!
