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

Content: One of the great classics:'Twas the night before Christmas' is hard to find on any of the network or cable channles so I had to search online. It came with another movie, Frosty's Winter Wonderland- a sequel to Frosty the Snowman on DVD. Good quality and a great price!

Content: What can be said that already hasn't been said. Not much.
However, if you love Frosty and you love Christmas, you will love these two classic stories.
I rewatched these two stories for the first time since my youth and I am astounded as to how well they stand up. Watching them brought back many memories.
Frosty's Winter Wonderland tells the story of Frosty's return from the North Pole to be with his friends. Shortly, he realizes he is lonely and he and kids decide to make a wife (Crystal) for him. However, Jack Frost may have other plans.
Simply Fantastic. A joy for all ages.
A bonus treat was Twas the Night Before Christmas. The story of how Santa turns his back on a small town because of a letter written by someone close to the stories' hero. Will Santa make it??
Everybody, this is a must own for Christmas lovers and children of all ages.
Highest Possible Recommendation!
