Advent Calendar Day 8 - Frosty the Snowman

This is among the Rankin/Bass collection that defined holidays for me as a child. Fully drawn rather than using stop-motion animation, it has a happier, brighter look than its cinematic cousins and was always one that I awaited most eagerly on broadcast TV. I even watched it last night with my kiddos. Its song is still sweet, Professor Hinkle is still sinister, and the scene where Karen is sitting in the pool of water where Frosty has melted is still devastating. I loved watching it as a kid and I love watching it with my kids even more.17 Days Until Christmas...Click on Frosty and his friends below to see my Advent Calendar...
