RB: Frosty Returns
 Home/Change Series
Frosty Returns is an animated Christmas television special starring Jonathan Winters as the narrator and John Goodman as the voice of Frosty the Snowman. The special was directed by Bill Melendez and Evert Brown. It first aired in 1992 on CBS. The special is not a direct sequel to the original 1969 special, as the two were produced by different companies (Rankin/Bass produced the original, while this special was made by Lorne Michaels' Broadway Video for CBS), and feature different characters, setting and voice actors. Since Broadway Video produced this special and owned the 1969 original prior to DreamWorks Animation's acquisition of the Videocraft International catalog, Frosty Returns follows the CBS showings of the original and is coupled with the original on all DVD releases.[1] (Although Rankin/Bass had produced a sequel to Frosty with most of the original cast and in the original style, the rights to the original and the sequel were broken up when the company dissolved in 1987. The original, having been produced prior to the 1974 dividing line, had been owned by CBS in terms of the broadcast license, but Frosty's Winter Wonderland was produced after 1974 and was thus part of the package now owned by Warner Bros. and licensed to ABC Family.)
