Frosty's Winter Wonderland
It's no secret that sequels to classic TV specials rarely stack up--they're usually guilty of getting too fancy with characters and story lines, causing irritating fissures to form in our perceptions of the originals. Lucky for a new generation of holiday viewers, that's not the case with Frosty's Winter Wonderland. In fact, lining up a Frosty double feature at home in which the original is directly followed by the new title is a fully cringe-free proposition, thanks mostly to the down-homey, pleasant narration of Andy Griffith and the near-perfect portrayal of the Frosty we all know and love by Jackie Vernon. The Wonderland dialogue doesn't trouble itself with tiresome throwbacks, and even the plot isn't overly ambitious: Frosty, lonely at the North Pole, is bent on keeping his famous promise to the kids that he'll be back again someday, so when the news of a snowstorm in their town reaches him, he waddles off. But once the belly-whopping's run its course, he's lonely again. The children, hoping to salvage Frosty's stay with them, hit upon a solution: they'll build Frosty a wife. Crystal fits every snowman's fantasy of a dream bride, but will jealous Jack Frost sabotage their wintry wedding? For all classic Christmas special fans who harbor hopes that the fun can continue, it's worth finding out. Kids 2 and older will love the songs and the still-intact dribbles of silliness. --Tammy La Gorce
Twas the Night Before Christmas
Animators of all things Christmas, Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass (Frosty the Snowman) take on the famous poem by Clement Moore. Narrated by Joel Grey, the story opens on the night before Christmas, but the reading of the poem must be stopped when two creatures in the house begin to stir: family men Mr. Trundle and Father Mouse. Their restlessness stems from the fact that Santa is angry at the residents of Junctionville, returning all their letters without even opening them. The reason? Somebody wrote a letter to the editor of the paper saying that he doesn't exist. In an attempt to fix the situation, Mr. Trundle, a clockmaker, comes up with a plan to lure Santa into town with a clock that will sing an enchanting song at midnight. When the clock doesn't work on its first test, the townsfolk lose all faith in him. Turns out the cause of all the trouble is Albert, a book-smart young mouse who thinks he knows the truth about Santa Claus. There are a few good songs in the 23-minute program, whose the moral is: don't believe the kids on the playground if they say that Santa doesn't exist. --Andy Spletzer

Rating:  - Frosty/Twas the Night Before Christmas DVD
We bought this for 'Twas the Night Before Christmas' movie which we have been looking for on DVD. A classic. Highly recommended.
Rating:  - Frosty's Winter Wonderland DVD Set
Excellent product! I grew up watching these classics on TV at Christmas each year and it's nice to now have them in my own collection for my nieces and nephews to view when they visit me. The quality is excellent and the collector's case is very nice also. Worth the price paid when I see my siblings' children enjoying the same classics I grew up watching.
Rating: - Christmas Classic
This is the FROSTY show where CRYSTAL is introduced. It has a bonus feature of TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS...which is a cartoon by Rankin and Bass that I grew up with. Great voices and one of their best (musically.) I have never seen either of these in stores and I am a RANKIN/BASS collector.
Rating: - Classics Remembered
These are the classic stories of Frosty's wife, Crystal, and of the young mouse who writes Santa a letter from "all of us," causing untold misery for his town. My two- and seven-year-olds enjoyed both cartoons, and it was a pleasure to introduce the next generation to two of my favorite Christmas classics. The animation was as I remembered it, which means that it is far below the standards to which we have become accustomed. It is more on the level of Dora the Explorer, with few colors and basic ...
