Frosty, that "jolly, happy soul" whose old silk hat full of magic has turned him into a musical Christmas legend, returns to television to demonstrate his unique showmanship in FROSTY THE SNOWMAN, the popular animated musical special narrated by Jimmy Durante.

Comedian Jackie Vernon provides the voice of Frosty in the Christmas fable, originally broadcast December 7, 1969 on CBS. The special, based on the popular song of the same title by Jack Rollins and Steve Nelson about the happy-go-lucky snowman with the "corncob pipe, a button nose and two eyes made out of coal," features Billy De Wolfe as the voice of the villainous Professor Hinkle, a magician whose stovepipe hat transforms the lifeless snow figure into an enchanting song-and-dance man.

Pursued by the hatless professor and rising temperatures, Frosty sets off for the North Pole to keep from melting. En route, the indomitable snowman weathers a whirl of adventures and overcomes the threat of evaporation.

FROSTY RETURNS
Friday, December 7, 8:30pm et/pt

The magic still in his old silk hat, the holiday season's favorite original dancing snowman continues his adventures and skates on the edge of danger in the animated musical special FROSTY RETURNS. Jonathan Winters is the narrator, with John Goodman as the voice of Frosty. Comedians Jan Hooks, Andrea Martin and Brian Doyle-Murray provide other voices in the special.

The first winter storm of the season brings the magical Frosty to the snow-covered town of Beansborough just as a new invention, a snow-removal spray called Summer Wheeze, is being introduced on the market. Not only does Summer Wheeze de-ice the town's annual Winter Carnival, it also threatens Frosty's very existence.
