Frosty the Snowman

Synopsis: 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 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 animated short is based on the popular Christmas song of the same name.

I suppose it all started with the snow.

You see, it's a very special kind of snow.

A snow to make the happy

happier and the giddy even giddier.

A snow to make a homecoming homier

and natural enemies friends, naturally.

For it was the first

snow of the season.

And as any child can tell you, there's a

certain magic to the very first snow...

...zellikle Noel arifesinde yayorsa.

especially when it falls on

the day before Christmas.

For when the first snow

is also a Christmas snow,

well, something wonderful

is bound to happen![Laughing]

[Ruler tapping] Children, back to

your seats. The snow can wait.

Now, now. I've hired professor

Hinkle, the magician,

to entertain at today's class

Christmas party, so pay attention!

Now, Professor Hinkle was just

about the worst magician in the world.

And so, I put the magic eggs in to my hat.

Abracadabra, to coin a phrase... [Laugh]

And voila the eggs have turned in to...

Messy messy messy.

[Children groan]

Where IS that rabbit?

Hocus Pocus! Where are you?

Bah, the only thing this hat's

good for is the trash can!

[Children laugh]

[Bell rings][Children cheer]

[Hinkle grumbles]

Hey, look at the snow! It's cold and snowy!

It's the best kind of snow! [etc.]

We're building a snowman, Karen.

You make the head!

The head is the most difficult part,

ask anyone!

What will we call him?

Should we call him Harold? Nah.

[Mumbling]? Oh, No.

Oatmeal? Oatmeal?!

How about... Frosty?

Frosty?

Yeah! Frosty it is. Frosty the snowman!

[Cheers]

[Frosty the snowman,

what a happy, jolly soul.

With a corn-cob pipe and a button

nose, and two eyes made out of coal.]

Frosty the snow -

Come back here, you!

Happy Birthday!

That hat brought Frosty to life.

It must be magic.

Magic? My hat, magic?

Just look.

If that hat is magic, I want it back.

But it's not yours anymore!

You threw it away!

Don't talk back to your elders,

you naughty naughty little girl.

And you, stay in there, or

there will be no carrots for Christmas.

But you can't take that hat back,

it brought Frosty to life

You saw it happen!

I saw nothing of the kind.

I saw nothing of the kind.

[Chattering]

Quiet, I can't lose that hat

if it's really got magic now!

It'll make me a billionaire magician!

But we saw Frosty come to life,

didn't we? Uh-huh, we sure did.

You silly children believe

everything you see.

When you're grown up you'll realize

that snowmen can't come to life.

But we -

Silly, silly silly!

Aw, Frosty, we don't care what grown-ups

say, we know you DID come to life.

We know, Frosty. We just know.

#Frosty the snowman,

was a jolly, happy soul.

With a corn-cob pipe and a button

nose, and two eyes made out of coal.

# Frosty the snowman is

a fairy-tale they say.

He was made of snow but the children

know how he came to life one day.

Now, of course, the hat did belong to

Frosty and the children.

That part must be made very clear.

Therefore, Hocus Pocus was entirely in

the right in what he was about to do.

Well, Hocus Pocus raced back to the

children just as fast as he could.

[Hocus Pocus whistles]

Look! The hat's back. Let's see

if it will make Frosty alive again.

Happy Birthday!

Hey, I said my first words...

But snowmen can't talk.

Alright, come on now, what's the joke.

Could I really be alive?

I mean, I can make words, I can move.

I can juggle, I can

sweep, I can count to 10.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 6, 8...

Well, I can count to 5. [laughing]

What do you know? I'm even ticklish.

In fact, I'm all living. I am alive!

What a neat thing to happen

to a nice guy like me. [Children cheer]

#There must have been some

magic in that old silk hat they found.

# For when they placed it on

his head he began to dance around.

# Frosty the snowman was

alive as he could be and

the children say he could laugh and

play just the same as you and me.

Uh oh...

What's the matter, Frosty?

Whew, is there a thermometer around here?

Over there on the wall, why?

Oh, I was afraid of that. The thermomter is

getting red. I hate red thermometers.

Why, Frosty?

'Cause when the thermometer gets

all reddish, the temperature goes up.

And when the temperature goes up,

I start to melt. And when I start to melt...

I get all wishy washy!

Then you've gotta go some

place where you'll never melt.

The only place I'd never

melt is the north pole.

Then we've got to get you there!

Yeah, we'll take you downtown to

the railroad station and put you on a train.

Great, I always wanted to see the town.

Let's make a party out of it!

Let's have a parade!

# Frosty the snowman knew

the sun was hot that day,

so he said let's run and we'll have

some fun now before I melt away.

# Down to the village with a

broomstick in his hand, running

here and there all around the

square, saying catch me if you can.

Come on kids, follow the leader!

# He led them down the streets

of town right to the traffic cop,

and he only paused a moment

when he heard him holler stop.

[Cop blows whistle] Stop. Stop. Stop!

Alright, didn't you see that traffic light?

What's a traffic light?

Up there on the lamp post!

What's a lamp post?

Oh, do you want a ticket, wise guy?

I'd love one, to the north pole, please!

You've got to excuse him, sir.

Alright, didn't you see that traffic light?

You see, he just came to life and

he doesn't know much about such things.

Oh, well, okay, if he just came to life.

[Cop blows whistle] Move along!

Them silly snowmen. Once they come

to life they don't know nothing.

Come to life?! [Soft whistling]

[Snoring]

[Snoring]

We'd like a ticket to the north pole please.

Hmm... What? Yes.

The north pole? Oh, yes ma'am.

[Bonk, Ping, Tinkle, Scrabble, Doink]

Route you by the way of

Saskatchewan, Hudson Bay,

Nome Alaska, the Klondike,

and Aurora Borealis!

Gotta make a change at

Nanuk of the Northville.

That'll be $3,000 and

four cents, including tax.

Oh, but we don't have any money...

No money!?

[Bonk, Ping, Tinkle, Scrabble, Doink]

No money, no ticket! [Slam!]

[Sad music plays]

Now I'll never get to the north pole.

Oh, Frosty, you just can't melt!

Oh, Karen, don't you get all slushy too.

What is it, Hocus? Out the window?

A refrigerated boxcar

on a train headed north.

You'll be safe there, Frosty! Come on!

It's full of ice cream and

frozen Christmas cakes.

What a neat way to travel!

[Whistle blows]

Hurry up, Frosty, the train is pulling out!

Are you coming to the north pole, too?

I'm sure my mother won't mind, as

long as I'm home in time for supper.

[Whistle blows]

# Frosty the snowman

had to hurry on his way,

but he waved goodbye saying don't

cry. I'll be back again some day.

I must get that hat back.
