Frosty the Snowman is an animated Christmas special that premiered on CBS on December 7, 1969, and has aired on the network annually since then. This special, written by Romeo Muller and produced and directed by Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass, is based on the holiday song of the same name that was originally written by Jack Rollins and Steve Nelson and first performed by Gene Autry in the 1940s. It is Rankin/Bass's second most prominent special to be aired on broadcast channels, behind Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. One December afternoon, a school girl named Karen and her friends create a snowman after school. After several suggestions of what to call their snowman, Karen decides to name him Frosty. They then acquire a top hat discarded by inept magician Professor Hinkle. When Karen places it on top of Frosty's head, the snowman comes to life. Hinkle, learning of the magic power his hat actually possesses, takes it back and departs, pretending that he did not see Frosty come to life. However, the professor's pet rabbit, Hocus Pocus, returns the hat to Frosty. Frosty soon senses the temperature is rising, though, and worries about melting. The children suggest putting him on the next train to the North Pole, where he will never melt. (more)
