Critics Consensus: Frosty the Snowman is a jolly, happy sing-along that will delight children with its crisp animation and affable title character, who makes an indelible impression with his corncob pipe, button nose, and eyes made out of coal.

It's just so odd and I kind of wish it wasn't so gloomy and morose.

'Frosty' is surprisingly emotional because of the level of love Frosty himself shows for the kids who made him.

It's a tight narrative that avoids unnecessary detours or mediocre songs, and Professor Hinkle is the perfect foil for the children and the kind, absent-minded Frosty.

The animation is folksy and cute, like an old-timey holiday card, and the raspy voice of Jimmy Durante...as the narrator is like home sweet home.

The 1969 original, which, though hardly an animation classic, had a genuine, simple sweetness stemming from its inspiration.
