Legend of Frosty the Snowman (2005) Movie Script
- ALL TOO OFTEN,
OUR HAPPIEST MEMORIES
ARE PACKED AWAY
IN HARD-TO-REACH PLACES,
BUT WHEN YOU FIND
SOMETHING LONG FORGOTTEN,
YOU REDISCOVER WHA YOU KNEW ALL ALONG.
[snapping]
[shimmering]
THIS IS THE STORY
OF A TOWN THAT HAD FORGOTTEN,
AND THE ONE MAGICAL WINTER
THAT MADE EVERYONE REMEMBER.
[bouncy music]
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
WAS A JOLLY HAPPY SOUL
WITH A CORNCOB PIPE
AND A BUTTON NOSE
AND TWO EYES MADE
OUT OF COAL
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
IS A FAIRY TALE THEY SAY
HE WAS MADE OF SNOW
BUT THE CHILDREN KNOW
THAT HE CAME TO LIFE
ONE DAY
THERE MUST'VE BEEN
SOME MAGIC
IN THAT OLD SILK HA THEY FOUND
FOR WHEN THEY PLACED I ON HIS HEAD
HE BEGAN TO DANCE AROUND
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
WAS ALIVE AS HE COULD BE
AND THE CHILDREN SAY
HE COULD LAUGH AND PLAY
JUST THE SAME
AS YOU AND ME
- [laughing]
- IT IS SAID
THAT FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
ALWAYS GOES
WHERE HE IS NEEDED MOST,
AND RIGHT NOW,
NO ONE NEEDS FROSTY MORE
THAN A BOY
NAMED TOMMY TINKERTON,
IN A TOWN CALLED EVERGREEN.
- [snoring]
[door opens]
- OKAY, BOYS,
RISE AND SHINE.
DAYLIGHT'S BURNING.
THE EARLY BIRD
CATCHES THE WORM.
- THE WORM?
OH, BOY!
- DAD, I HAD THE STRANGEST DREAM
LAST NIGHT.
- NOT NOW, SPORT, OKAY?
PUT SOME HOP IN YOUR HUSTLE.
PUT SOME GREASE IN YOUR MUSCLE.
YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE.

IN EXACTLY 3.5 MINUTES,
PROMPT, PRESEN AND PREPARED, HUH?

DESPITE FRIGID
WEATHER CONDITIONS?

ATTA BOY!
[humming]
[door opens]
- TEETH NOT GUMS.
TEETH NOT GUMS.
- GOOD LOOKING.
LOOKING GOOD.
AT EASE, TINKERTONS.
BREAKFAST EATEN?

DAD SIR!
- YES, MR. TINKERTON
HAD HIS FAMILY
AND EVERY OTHER
FAMILY IN EVERGREEN
PLAYING BY HIS RULES.
- CHIN UP
AND SHOULDERS BACK.
EYES STRAIGHT.
STEADY GAIT.
THAT IS ONE STRAIGHT LINE.
- EYES FORWARD.
GET THE LEAD OUT.
- AND FOR THE MOST PART,
THE CHILDREN OF EVERGREEN
NEVER DID
STEP OUT OF THAT LINE.
UNLESS OF COURSE,
BY ACCIDENT.
- AND WE'RE WALKING.
KEEP IT MOVING, PEOPLE.
WHOA!
OOF!
- [gasps]
[tires screeching]
smash!
- HUH?
[shouting]
thud!
[groaning]
- BUT IF THERE'S ONE THING
THAT LIFE HAS TAUGHT ME,
IT'S THA THERE ARE NO ACCIDENTS.
- HEY.
HUH?
- TOMMY, GET OVER HERE.
KEEP IT MOVING, PEOPLE.
LET'S KEEP IT GOING.
- HEY, WALTER,
AFTER SCHOOL--
- LET ME GUESS.
YOU'RE GONNA GO TALK
TO SARA SIMPLE?
YOU SAY THA EVERY DAY, TOMMY.
- THIS TIME I MEAN IT.
THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFEREN ABOUT TODAY.
- MOVE IT. MOVE IT. MOVE IT.
- THAT HAT, PRINCIPAL PANKLEY.
I THINK IT'S FOLLOWING ME.
- DO I LOOK LIKE A BABY?
- NO SIR,
PRINCIPAL PANKLEY, SIR.
- DOES IT LOOK LIKE BEDTIME?
- NO.
- THEN WHY ARE YOU
TELLING ME STORIES?
GET INSIDE!
- GOOD MORNING, CHILDREN.
OUR HANDS ARE CLEAN
AND NEATLY FOLDED BECAUSE...
- BECAUSE WE ALWAYS
FOLLOW THE RULES.
EYES FORWARD, PUPILS.
- NOW DURING TODAY'S LESSON,
LET'S WORK ON CONCENTRATING
ON OUR PERFECT, PERFECT,
PERFECT LETTERING.
[tapping]
- LISTEN UP, SHORT STACK.
IF YOU THINK YOU'RE ENTITLED
TO SPECIAL PRIVILEGES
JUST BECAUSE
YOUR DAD IS THE MAYOR,
THEN YOU ARE SADLY MISTAKEN.
WHEN I SAY EYES FORWARD,
I MEAN EYES FORWARD!
- [gulps]
[bell ringing]
HI, SARA.
SO THEY, UH,
SWITCHED PENCILS ON US,
DID YOU NOTICE?
THEY USED TO USE
THE NUMBER TWO,
AND NOW THEY'RE USING
THE NUMBER FOUR.
BUT ME, I'VE ALWAYS BEEN A FAN
OF NUMBER TWO.
- YEAH, UH,
MY MOTHER'S EXPECTING ME.
- UH, OKAY.
WELL, BYE.
"THEY SWITCHED PENCILS ON US."
WHAT AN IDIOT.
- BUT I DON'T WAN TO STAY COOPED UP
IN MY ROOM ALL DAY, MOTHER.
I WANT TO GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY.
- PLAYING IS OVERRATED.
WHEN I WAS A GIRL,
DO YOU KNOW
WHAT MY FAVORITE
AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITY WAS?
HAVING MOTHER BRUSH MY HAIR.
AND WITH LONG SWEEPING STROKES
DO WE BRUSH.
BRUSH!
YOU SEE, SARA,
EVERY GIRL IS A PRINCESS,
AND HER HAIR IS HER CROWN.
- BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE
A PRINCESS.
I WANT TO BE AN URBAN PLANNER.
- I SWEAR YOU GET THIS
FROM YOUR FATHER'S SIDE.
buzz!
[bell clanging]
- QUESTION ONE.
- YOUR SALAD AND SOUP COURSE
ARE PRESENTED AT THE SAME TIME.
- SET SALAD ASIDE,
3:00.
USING SOUP SPOON,
LARGEST ON THE TABLE,
MOVE SOUP IN COUNTERCLOCKWISE
MOTIONS TO COOL.
NEVER BLOW, NEVER SLURP,
NEVER SET SOILED SPOON
ON TABLECLOTH.
WAIT UNTIL OTHERS
HAVE FINISHED
BEFORE MOVING ON
TO THE SALAD COURSE.
- OOH, LOOK OUT.
- QUEEN OF ENGLAND!
- LINE ONE.
- WANTS TO KNOW
IF YOU'RE AVAILABLE FOR TEA.
[laughing]
- LOSER.
- WHAT IS THAT?
A BACKWARDS L?
- YOU ARE.
- HEY, HEY, HEY.
SPORTSMANSHIP, BOYS.
TOMMY CAN STILL REDEEM
HIMSELF IN THE...
both: BONUS ROUND!
- WHICH FOODS ARE APPROPRIATE
TO EAT WITH ONE'S FINGERS?
- ARTICHOKES, ASPARAGUS,
HORS D'OEUVRES, CRUDITE,
CANAPES, COCKTAIL WIENERS,
OLIVES, PICKLES,
NUTS, DEVILED EGGS, CHIPS.
- YES, YES, YES, YES,
YES, YES, YES, YES.
- WE HAVE A WINNER!
NUMERO UNO.
VICTORY LAP AROUND THE 'HOOD,
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
JUST YOU, ME,
AND THE CLIPBOARD.
- HA-HA, YEAH!
- WHOO-HOO!
- WOULD YOU LOOK AT HOW
HE HAS THAT LITTLE CLIPBOARD
ALL DRESSED UP FOR THE SNOW?
IF THAT'S NO THE CUTEST THING.
- [groans]
- OH, TOMMY,
DON'T LET IT GET YOU DOWN.
YOU'RE CAPABLE
OF GREAT THINGS TOO.
YOU'LL SEE.
[shimmering]
- YOU LOOKING FOR ME?
I CAN'T.
I ALREADY LET MY DAD DOWN
ONCE TODAY.
I JUST CAN'T.
- AND SO FROSTY'S PATH
TO TOMMY TINKERTON
WOULD NOT BE STRAIGH AND NARROW.
THE PATH WOULD TWIS AND TURN.
LEADING FROSTY
TO THE HOME OF WALTER WADER,
TOMMY'S FRIEND
AND NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR.
[knocking]
- [gasps]
WHO'S THERE?
AHA!
NO ANSWER.
AND SO WHAT DO YOU DO NOW,
WALTER?
- UH, OPEN THE DOOR
AND HIT 'EM
WITH THE VEGETABLES?
- THESE ARE NOT VEGETABLES,
WALTER.
THIS IS CORN.
CORN IS A STARCH.
- OPEN THE DOOR
AND HIT 'EM WITH THE STARCH?
- ABSOLUTELY NOT.
- SO I DON'T OPEN THE DOOR
AT ALL?
- YOU DO NOT.
- AND SO WHAT DO I DO
WITH THE STARCH?
- YOU PUT IT AWAY
IN THE PANTRY.
- I PUT IT AWAY IN THE PANTRY.
- YOU CAN RINSE
THOSE DINNER DISHES
WHILE YOU'RE IN THERE,
WALTER.
- RINSE THE DINNER DISHES.
- AND DON'T MAKE THE WATER
TOO HOT,
OR YOU'LL BURN YOURSELF,
WALTER.
- BURN MYSELF, WALTER.
AND DON'T LET THE WATER
RUN FULL BLAST,
OR YOU'LL WET YOURSELF.
- COLD WATER!
OH, GOOD...
OH, MESSY.
OH, NO.
I-I DIDN'T--
I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO--
WATER... OH.
- WALTER WAS A NERVOUS BOY.
SO WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED
THAT WALTER WADER,
WALTER THE WORRIER,
WOULD BE THE FIRST ONE
TO HEED FROSTY'S CALL?
- [gasps]
WHO ARE YOU
AND WHAT DO YOU WANT?
[tapping]
HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS?
I DON'T SEE ANY STRINGS.
WHOA!
WHA!
- WALTER, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
- I HAVE NO IDEA.
I'M FLYING THROUGH
THE NIGHT SKY
WITHOUT A COAT.
[laughter]
THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.
HAT?
WHERE ARE YOU, HAT?
I KNOW.
- HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
- BUT IT'S NOT MY BIRTHDAY.
- THEN I GUESS WE'RE NOT TWINS,
ARE WE?
- TWINS?
OF COURSE WE'RE NOT TWINS.
I'M A PERSON
AND YOU'RE A SNOWMAN.
- A SNOWMAN?
I AM?
YOU'RE RIGHT, I AM!
HEY, ANYONE EVER TEACH YOU
THE RIGHT WAY
TO MAKE A SNOWBALL?
- AN ACTUAL SNOWBALL?
LIKE ON TV?
- THE KEY IS
TO FIND SOME GOOD, WET SNOW,
HEAP IT ON, DON'T BE STINGY,
AND PACK IT TIGHT.
- YOU'RE NOT GOING TO THROW
THAT AT ME, ARE YOU?
- OH, I DON'T KNOW.
- BUT I'M NOT EVEN WEARING
MY HELMET,
AND MY MOTHER SAYS
I CAN'T AFFORD
ANOTHER HEAD INJURY.
HEY!
THAT DIDN'T EVEN HURT.
[laughter]
- READY?
SET.
SNOW!
- WOW!
- GO!
- NO FAIR!
YOU CHEATED!
[laughter]
- KNOCK, KNOCK.
- WHO'S THERE?
- ICE CREAM SODA.
- ICE CREAM SODA WHO?
- I SCREAM "SODA" WHOLE
NEIGHBORHOOD CAN HEAR ME!
- SHH.
WELL, I GUESS
I'D BETTER HEAD INSIDE NOW.
IT'S JUST THAT...
I'M--I'M A LITTLE SCARED.
- SCARED?
SCARED OF WHAT?
- MY MOTHER.
- WHY?
IS SHE COVERED IN HAIR?
DOES SHE HAVE LONG FANGS
OR TERRIBLE CLAWS?
- NO, SHE'S JUST A LADY.
- OH.
JUST A LADY DOESN' SOUND SO SCARY.
- HELLO, MOTHER.
- W-W-W-WALTER?
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
I THOUGHT YOU
WERE IN YOUR BED
FAST ASLEEP.
WHAT IN THE WORLD
WERE YOU DOING OUT THERE?
- I GUESS I WAS HAVING FUN.
- AHH!
- NEVER FALTER, WALTER.
ONE DOWN.
THE REST OF EVERGREEN TO GO.
[indistinct conversation]
- I HEARD HE WAS OU AFTER DARK.
- AND HE DIDN' TELL HIS MOTHER.
- AND HE WASN'T EVEN SORRY.
- WALTER, WHAT WERE YOU
DOING OUT THERE LAST NIGHT?
- IT WAS AMAZING.
I--
[bell ringing]
I'LL TELL YOU AT LUNCH.
- WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, SIR,
YOU MUST COME DOWN ON THIS BOY
SWIFTLY AND WITHOUT MERCY.
OTHERWISE, WE'LL BE LOOKING
AT A MUTINY SITUATION.
- OOH.
MUTINY'S NOT GOOD.
- NO SIR, IT ISN'T.
- WE'RE IN A BIT OF
A PICKLE, PANK.
SURE, THE KID'S A GOOD EGG,
BUT ONE SOUR GRAPE
CAN SPOIL THE WHOLE ENCHILADA.
WELL, AM I WRONG?
WALTER WADER, PLEASE RISE.
crash!
[gasping]
- CHEESE AND FRIES,
I CAN'T WATCH.
[screaming]
POINTY, ISN'T IT?
I'M SORRY TO HAVE TO
DO THIS TO YOU, SON.
NEXT TIME THIS BOY
THINKS OF BREAKING CURFEW,
I DARESAY HE'LL THINK TWICE.
- THRICE!
- OR THRICE, MAYBE.
THERE ARE NO
WINNERS HERE TODAY.
- LET'S DIRECT OUR ATTENTION
BACK TO THE BOARD, PLEASE.
- WOW.
- YES!
- WALTER, YOU'VE GOT TO TELL ME
WHAT'S GOING ON.
I SAW THAT HAT YESTERDAY
AND--
- HEY, WADER.
IF YOU DON'T SHAPE UP,
I'M GOING TO SQUASH
YOU LIKE A BUG.
- BUT THAT'S NOT A BUG, CHARLIE.
THAT'S CORN.
CORN'S A STARCH.
- THIS TIME IT WAS THE STARCH,
BUT NEXT TIME
IT'S GONNA BE YOUR FACE.
SO I SUGGEST YOU WATCH
YOUR BACK, WALTER.
YOU WATCH YOUR BACK
AND YOUR FRONT AND YOUR--
YOUR MIDDLE AREA, TOO.
- IT WAS THE FIRST TIME
IN EVERGREEN HISTORY
THAT THE DETENTION ROOM
HAD BEEN USED.
THEY HAD TO FIND A SPECIAL KEY
JUST TO OPEN IT.
crash!
- NO!
I'M SORRY, SON,
BUT THIS IS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.
- GET READY TO TASTE THE CAP.
- DAD?
- TASTE IT.
- I ONLY--
- FOOD FIGHTING
IS A NO-NO, CHARLES.
YOU KNOW BETTER.
RULES ARE RULES.
[sighs]
AND I'LL NEED THE PIN BACK.
- [gasps]
NOT THE PIN.
- YES, THE PIN.
OH, DEFINITELY THE PIN.
- GAH!
THAT HURT ME MORE
THAN IT HURT YOU, SON,
BECAUSE I POKED MYSELF.
RIGHT THERE, SEE?
[muttering]
NOW, WALTER.
I'M GIVING YOU ONE LAST CHANCE
TO MAKE NICE-NICE
AND TELL OL' MR. TINK
WHERE YOU WERE LAST NIGHT.
- OH, PLAY BALL, WADER,
AND WALK OUT OF HERE NOW
WITH WHAT'S LEF OF YOUR DIGNITY.
- WELL,
IF YOU REALLY MUST KNOW,
I WAS PLAYING
WITH A MAGICAL SNOWMAN.
- M-M-MAGICAL
SNOWMAN?
- YEAH, YOU HEARD ME.
- WAIT A MINUTE.
IS IT MY IMAGINATION OR--
- IT IS MOST DEFINITELY
YOUR IMAGINATION, SIR.
MAGICAL SNOWMEN DO NOT EXIST.
- NO?
NO, OF COURSE THEY DON'T.
WE'LL FETCH YOU BOYS
BEFORE THE BUILDING CLOSES.
- DID YOU SEE THE
LOOKS ON THEIR FACES?
THAT'LL PUT AN END
TO THE NONSENSE.
I GUARANTEE IT.
SO WHA DO YOU WANT TO DO NOW?
MID-DAY INSPECTION?
LOOK FOR PARKING
VIOLATIONS?
SPIT SHINE THE CLIPBOARD?
I'M UP FOR ANYTHING.
- WOULD IF I COULD,
HANKY PANKY,
BUT I CAN'T, SO I WON'T.
- TOMORROW'S ANOTHER DAY, SIR.
TOMORROW IS INDEED
ANOTHER DAY.
- DUNCE CAPS?
DETENTION?
YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGH ON A DAY LIKE THA STUDENTS WOULD RUSH HOME,
JUST TO STAY OUT OF HARM'S WAY.
BUT NO ONE DID.
INSTEAD, THEY LINGERED.
BREATHING IN THE
UNMISTAKABLE SCENT OF MISCHIEF
THAT HUNG IN THE AIR.
- HUH?
- WHOO-HOO!
[laughing]
WHEE!
snap!
WHO'S THERE?
SHOW YOURSELF, COWARD!
- [panting]
- I THOUGHT NOT.
- [sighs]
- "COWARD."
THE WORST PART IS,
EVEN THOUGH SARA HAD NO IDEA
WHO SHE WAS TALKING TO
THAT DAY,
TOMMY COULDN'T HELP
BUT FEEL
THAT SHE HAD CALLED I JUST RIGHT.
- OH.
HELLO?
WAIT.
- MAGICAL SNOWMAN.
YEAH, RIGHT.
NO SUCH THING.
- IS TOO.
- IS NOT.
- IS TOO.
- IS NOT.
- IS NOT.
IS TOO--
IS NOT.
- [laughing]
- YOU THINK ANYONE IS GONNA
BELIEVE YOUR STUPID STORY
ABOUT A STUPID SNOWMAN?
- I THINK THEY
ALREADY BELIEVE IT.
YOU EVER SEEN YOUR DAD
THAT TONGUE-TIED BEFORE?
HMM?
- SHH!
- EXCUSE ME,
DID YOU SEE A--
- SHH!
STOP!
WHOA!
WHOA.
- I CAN'T BELIEVE
HE TOOK MY PIN.
- THAT'S NOTHING.
HE TOLD THE LITTLE KID
WHO LIVES NEXT DOOR TO ME
THAT SANTA CLAUS DOESN'T EXIST.
- SANTA CLAUS DOESN'T EXIST.
- JUST LIKE MAGICAL SNOWMEN,
RIGHT?
- [humming]
[laughter]
LET'S GO.
[laughter]
HMM, I SEE WHA YOU'RE GOING FOR,
BUT HIS LOWER BODY
LACKS STRUCTURE.
- GUESS IT TAKES
ONE TO KNOW ONE.
- YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT.
WATCH ME WORK.
- WOW!
- I CALL IT "ME."
- [laughs]
I SEE THE RESEMBLANCE.
- WELL, GOT TO GO.
WALTER, CALL ME.
- HUH, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
HE HAD A PHONE.
- AH!
WHAT IS THIS PLACE?
WOW.
AH!
THE SECRET AND NEVER
ENDING ADVENTURES
OF FROSTY THE SNOWMAN?
ONCE UPON A TIME
THERE WAS A BOY
WHO DIDN' BELIEVE IN MAGIC.
IRONICALLY,
HIS FATHER WAS A MAGICIAN.
THE BOY BELIEVED
THAT REAL MAGIC,
THE STUFF
YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN,
DID NOT EXIST.
AND THEN ONE DAY WHEN THE BOY
WAS RUNNING AN ERRAND
FOR HIS FATHER,
SOMETHING AMAZING HAPPENED.
- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
- THERE MUST HAVE BEEN SOME
MAGIC IN FATHER'S HAT AFTER ALL.
"UTTER NONSENSE,"
SAYS HIS FATHER.
"THE BOY SHOULD KNOW BETTER.
"MAGIC?
TALKING SNOWMEN?
IT'S AS FOOLISH
AS FOOLISH CAN BE."
THE BOY SPENT THE
REST OF THE WINTER
LOOKING FOR HIS FATHER'S HAT.
LOOKING FOR PROOF
THAT FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
REALLY DID EXIST,
BUT HE NEVER FOUND ANY.
[shimmering]
THAT'S IT?
- PEARL, HAS THE NEW
CLIPBOARD QUARTERLY ARRIVED?
SURE COULD USE THE PICK-ME-UP.
- HERE GO, MR. TINKERTON.
OH, SAY, DID YOU SEE TOMMY?
CAME IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS AGO.
AT LEAST I THINK THAT WAS HIM.
[piano playing]
- I CALL IT SARA SAYS.
IN THE KEY OF "G."
- REALLY, SARA.
I CAN'T EVEN HEAR MYSELF THINK
WITH THAT RACKET.
YOU SHOULD BE
PRACTICING YOUR SCALES.
- BUT SCALES
ARE SO REPETITIVE.
- AND THAT'S THE POINT, SARA.
THAT'S PRECISELY THE POINT.
SCALES ARE THE FOUNDATION
OF AN ACCOMPLISHED PIANIST.
AND AN AIR OF ACCOMPLISHMEN IS WHAT MAKES A GIRL
CAPTIVATING TO A SUITOR.
HOW DO YOU THINK
I CHARMED YOUR FATHER?
- [snoring]
- YOU CHARMED HIM
RIGHT TO SLEEP.
- WELL, DON'T BLAME ME.
HE WAS LIKE THA WHEN I FOUND HIM.
MOTHER KNOWS BEST, SARA.
YOU WILL SIT AT THIS PIANO
UNTIL YOUR SCALES ARE PERFECT,
AND SOME DAY YOU WILL
THANK ME FOR THIS.
- [sighs]
- TOMMY?
TOMCAT?
NO SHAME IN GOING
TO THE LIBRARY, SON.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO HIDE
YOUR LEARNING FROM ME.
[sighs]
OH!
- YOU OKAY, DAD?
- [chuckles]
JUST A LITTLE ANTSY,
I SUPPOSE.
SOME OF THE KIDS HAVE
BEEN GIVING YOUR OLD MAN
AN AWFUL CASE
OF THE GOOD GRIEFS.
YOUR BROTHER'S ONE OF 'EM.
FOOD FIGHTING,
BREAKING CURFEW,
AND NOW SOME NONSENSE
ABOUT A MAGICAL SNOWMAN?
JEEZ LOUISE.
WHERE DID I GO WRONG?
SEEMS LIKE EVERY KID IN TOWN
IS BREAKING THE RULES.
BUT NOT YOU, TOM-O.
I WANT YOU TO HAVE THIS PIN.
YOU'RE NUMBER ONE NOW.
- ME?
- WHO ELSE?
I WANT YOU TO BE MY EYES,
MY EARS, MY NOSE, AND MY FEET.
I'M COUNTING ON YOU TO TELL ME
IF THERE IS ANY FUNNY BUSINESS
WHATSOEVER.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO
IF I DIDN'T HAVE YOU,
ALWAYS RIGHT THERE BESIDE ME,
HELPING ME KEEP
THINGS STRAIGHT.
[sobs]
- IT'S OKAY, DAD.
- OH, I WAS TALKING
TO THE CLIPBOARD, SON.
- OH.
- MY RULES MAY SEEM SILLY,
BUT THEY'RE MADE TO PROTECT YOU.
- PROTECT ME FROM WHAT?
- DISAPPOINTMENT.
DELUSION.
SOME OTHER THINGS
THAT START WITH "D."
THINGS THAT START WITH "D"
THAT YOU COULDN' POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND,
SO JUST TRUST ME, TOM-TOM,
AND BE A
GOOD, GOOD RULE-FOLLOWER, HUH?
WILL YOU DO THAT FOR ME?
- YOU GOT IT, DAD.
- ATTA BOY.
LET'S HAVE A HUG.
AWW, WHAT THE HECK,
THE BOTH OF YOU.
[tapping]
- [gasps]
- OOF!
HELLO.
- HELLO.
YOU TALK.
- SO DO YOU.
I TALK ALL THE TIME,
ACTUALLY,
BUT NO ONE
EVER SEEMS TO HEAR ME.
- MAYBE YOU'RE
TALKING TOO LOUDLY.
- IS THAT RIGHT?
- IN FACT,
THE QUIETER I TALK...
THE MORE ATTENTION
YOU HAVE TO PAY
JUST TO HEAR
WHAT I'M SAYING.
- WOW.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
- SHH!
- [giggling]
- SO, SARA, WHAT IS I THAT YOU HAVE TO SAY?
[whispering]
- DEAR MISS BARKER--
- I AM NOT MY MOTHER.
- WHAT'S THAT?
I MUST BE TIRED.
DEAR MISS BARKER,
I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH--
- I DON'T LIKE TEA TIME.
- WHAT.
- I WANT TO PLAY MY OWN MUSIC.
- WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
- I DON'T LIKE HAVING LONG HAIR.
- SARA, IS THAT YOU?
- AND I'D LIKE TO LEARN
TO ICE SKATE.
IF YOU PLEASE.
- ICE SKATE?
ICE SKATE?
I LOVE TO ICE SKATE!
- WOW!
- LET'S GO.
[laughs]
[laughter]
- WHEE!
WHOO-HOO!
[laughing]
- HEY, CHARLIE.
I FOUND SOMETHING AMAZING
AT THE LIBRARY TODAY.
- WAS IT MY NUMBER ONE PIN?
DAD'S NOT RIGH ABOUT EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW.
HE'S NOT RIGHT ABOUT MAGIC
OR TALKING SNOWMEN,
AND HE'S DEFINITELY NOT RIGH ABOUT YOU BEING NUMBER ONE.
- THE SECRET SOCIETY
OF FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
HAD STARTED TO FORM,
BUT ITS MOST IMPORTANT MEMBER
WAS STILL MISSING.
[whispering]
- THINK WE'LL EVER GE TO SEE HIM AGAIN?
- I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE EACH KID
ONLY GETS ONE CHANCE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, WALTER?
- [clears throat]
- SO DAD'S CAR GOT VANDALIZED,
DID YOU HEAR?
PRINCIPAL PANKLEY'S
STILL LOOKING
FOR THE ONE WHO DID IT.
- UH, THIS IS
A PRIVATE CONVERSATION.
- SORRY, TOMMY.
THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW.
- YEAH, NOW THA YOU'RE NUMBER ONE.
- SURE, I GET IT.
NO PROBLEM.
HIS MAGIC POWERS
COME FROM HIS TOP HAT.
IT USED TO BELONG
TO A MAGICIAN.
JUST SO YOU KNOW.
[door opens]
- BOYS, IS THAT YOU?
- JUST ME, MOM.
- I'M IN THE FAMILY ROOM.
NOTHING MISSING
BUT THE FAMILY.
- WHATCHA DOING?
- SCRAPBOOKING.
- HUH?
MOM, WHO'S THIS?
- WHY THAT'S YOUR FATHER
WHEN HE WAS YOUR AGE.
PLAYING WITH
YOUR GRANDFATHER'S HAT.
HE WAS A MAGICIAN, YOU KNOW?
TOMMY?
TOMMY?
- DOING MY HOMEWORK.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
THE BOY IN THE COMIC...
THAT'S MY DAD.
- WAY TO SHINE, BIG GUY!
FEEL THAT GOLDEN GLOW.
GOSH, THAT'S WARM STUFF.
WHAT THE MOUSE?
6:01?
COME ON, BIG GUY,
BE A TEAM PLAYER.
THERE'S A SCHEDULE TO KEEP.
[growls]
YOU WILL RUE THE DAY--
SWEET CORN WITH DRAWN BUTTER.
I DON'T KNOW
WHERE THAT CAME FROM.
NOW WHERE WERE WE?
MORNING PAPER IN THE POST BOX?
CHECKAROONI.
SNOW DRIFTS SAFELY
BELOW REGULATION HEIGHT?
CHECK.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
NO!
[crying]
MY CAR?
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
AGH!
- MUTINY, SIR.
THE CALLS WON'T STOP COMING IN.
CHILDREN AREN'T LISTENING
TO THE RULES.
THEY AREN'T LISTENING
TO THEIR PARENTS.
IN A NUTSHELL, IT'S MAYHEM.
- BUT IF THE KIDS
AREN'T LISTENING TO US,
AND THEY'RE NO LISTENING TO THEIR PARENTS.
WHO ARE THEY LISTENING TO?
- HERE, FROSTY.
OVER HERE.
IT'S YOUR OLD PAL, WALTER.
CHOOSE ME.
CHOOSE ME.
- WALTER,
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.
- GO AWAY.
NO, NO, NO.
NOT YOU.
COME BACK!
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
- I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
IT'S ABOUT FROSTY
AND MY DAD.
IT'S ABOUT THE WHOLE TOWN.
- [grunting]
OW!
HEY, WATCH IT.
- YOU WATCH IT.
- WOULD YOU TWO CAN IT?
[laughter]
- YOU'RE FROSTY THE SNOWMAN.
- I KNOW.
AND YOU'RE SONNY, SULLY,
AND SIMON SKLAREW.
- HEY,
YOU CAN TELL US APART.
- WHAT ARE YOU BOYS
DOING OUT HERE?
- WE'RE TAKING OUT THE TRASH.
- TAKING OUT THE TRASH?
TAKING OUT THE TRASH?
THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!
WHY, I'LL BET THE TRASH
HARDLY EVER GETS TO GO OUT.
THINK ABOUT IT.
TRASH, THIS IS EVERGREEN.
EVERGREEN, THIS IS THE TRASH.
WHOO-HOO!
- WAIT UP, FROSTY.
- THERE'S BEEN MORE TALK, SIR,
OF THIS MAGICAL SNOWMAN.
- BUT IT'S CRAZY TALK.
THERE'S NO SUCH THING.
IS THERE?
- OF COURSE NOT, SIR,
YOU KNOW THAT AND I KNOW THAT,
BUT SOMETHING HAS CONVINCED
OUR CHILDREN OTHERWISE.
NOW THEY'RE STARTING
TO QUESTION EVERYTHING
THAT EVERGREEN STANDS FOR.
- THEN WE MUST ACT SWIFTLY
AND WITHOUT--
- SWIFTLY AND WITHOUT MERCY.
I COULDN'T AGREE MORE.
IT'S JUST THAT...
- PLEASE, SPEAK FRANKLY,
PANKLEY.
- WELL, SIR, WE'VE KNOWN EACH
OTHER SINCE WE WERE CHILDREN,
AND I'VE NEVER HAD ANYTHING
BUT RESPECT FOR YOU,
EXCEPT MAYBE GREAT RESPECT,
BUT THESE DAYS...
LOOK AT YOU SIR,
YOU'RE A MESS.
- I AM?
- YOUR CAR'S BEEN VANDALIZED.
THE GROUNDS ARE UNKEMPT.
YOUR CHILDREN
WON'T LISTEN TO YOU.
DO YOU REALLY THINK
YOU'RE STILL UP TO THE JOB?
- FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN A LONG TIME,
MR. TINKERTON WASN' SURE HE HAD THE ANSWER,
AND WHEN YOU DON' HAVE THE ANSWERS, WELL,
THAT'S WHEN THERE'S ROOM
FOR WONDERFUL THINGS TO HAPPEN.
- THE LITTLE BOY
IN THE STORY IS MY DAD.
- HOW DO I KNOW YOU'RE
NOT JUST SPYING ON ME?
[laughter]
FROSTY!
- FROSTY!
- CHARLIE?
- WALTER, WAIT.
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
- SO IS THIS.
FROSTY WAS MY PAL FIRST.
- WHOO-HOO!
[all shouting]
- HEY, FROSTY,
WAIT FOR ME.
- HE'S BEEN LIKE THIS
FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR NOW.
NOTHING
SEEMS TO SNAP HIM OUT OF IT.
LA, LA, LA, LA,
LA, LA, LA, LA
LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, LA

NOTHING.
- THAT USUALLY
CRACKS HIM UP.
- PANKLEY IS A GOOD MAN.
HE'LL DO WONDERS
WITH EVERGREEN.
I'M SURE OF IT.
- MOM, WHAT'S HE TALKING ABOUT?
- OH, STOMACH CRAMP.
WAIT UP, FROSTY!
- SORRY.
TRY, TRY
AS HARD AS YOU CAN
YOU CAN'T CATCH ME
I'M FROSTY THE SNOW--
OOF!
- MY CITY!
IT'S RUINED.
- YOU THINK SO?
- THAT'S EVERGREEN
THE WAY I SEE IT,
OR THE WAY I'D WISH IT WAS
IF WISHING WEREN' AGAINST THE RULES.
- THIS IS BEAUTIFUL, SARA,
AND THE BEST PART IS,
THE ONLY THING YOU NEED
TO COMPLETE YOUR VISION
IS RIGHT HERE.
- OH, FROSTY.
- NO, LITERALLY.
IT'S RIGHT HERE
IN MY CHEST CAVITY.
- OH.
AND YOU KEEP YOUR DREAMS
RIGHT THERE TOO, SARA.
THAT'S THE SAFEST PLACE
FOR THEM.
NOW WHO WANTS
TO CATCH SOME SNOW?
[cheering]
[rumbling]
- GUYS?
FROSTY?
WHERE DID EVERYONE GO?
LITTLE HELP HERE?
[piano playing scales]
- IT FELT LIKE A NEW DAY
FOR THE CHILDREN OF EVERGREEN,
BUT THE DARKEST HOUR
OFTEN COMES
DIRECTLY AFTER
HAVING SEEN THE LIGHT.
- [gasps]
OH, NO!
- MAN, I HATE FROLICKING.
THAT SNOWMAN IS BACK,
AND HE'S RUINING EVERYTHING.
I GOT TO DO SOMETHING.
- GOT SOME NEW FRIENDS, DO YOU?
NO TIME LEFT FOR YOUR OLD PAL?
- WHAT'S THAT?
HARD BEING THE ODD MAN OUT,
ISN'T IT?
MAYBE YOU'D HAVE BETTER
LUCK FINDING FROSTY
IF YOU WAITED TILL DARK.
YOU KNOW,
WHEN HE WASN'T SO BUSY.
- [sniffles]
YOU MEAN,
YOU KNOW ABOUT FROSTY?
- SURE, NO BIGGIE.
- WELL, WHAT ABOUT CURFEW?
- YOU KNOW,
I THINK WE CAN BEND THE RULES
JUST THIS ONCE NOW.
HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'LL EVEN CHAPERONE.
DON'T THANK ME NOW.
WHAT SAY WE MEET AT THE LAKE?
8:45 WORK FOR YOU?
- MY DAUGHTER DIDN' MAKE HER BED THIS MORNING.
- MY BOYS SAID THE SNOWMAN
MADE THEM SHIRK THEIR CHORES
AND STEAL OUR GARBAGE.
- MY DAUGHTER IS REFUSING PIANO.
SHE ONLY WANTS TO GO ICE-SKATING
WITH THE SNOW FELLOW.
- THEY'RE BREAKING RULES!
- TALKING BACK!
- ACTING SILLY!
- TELLING STORIES!
- ALL ABOUT SOME SNOWMAN
NAMED FROSTY!
- ALL RIGHT!
YAY!
[laughter]
- GOOD PEOPLE OF EVERGREEN,
ON BEHALF OF MR. TINKERTON
AND MYSELF,
I ASSURE YOU
MAGICAL SNOWMEN DO NOT EXIST.
A CHILD'S IMAGINATION
IS A DANGEROUS THING.
ANY FUTURE BOUTS OF IMAGIN-ITIS
WILL BE DEALT WITH
SWIFTLY AND WITHOUT MERCY.
AS OF TONIGHT, I WILL BE
STEPPING IN FOR MR. TINKERTON
IN MANAGING BOTH
THE CRISIS SITUATION
AND THE TOWN OF EVERGREEN.
AND I ASSURE YOU,
YOU WILL NEVER HEAR THE WORDS
"FROSTY THE SNOWMAN" AGAIN.
[cheers and applause]
MR. TINKERTON,
OLD FRIEND,
YOUR CLIPBOARD PLEASE.
- [whimpering]
- THE BOY SPENT THE RES OF THE WINTER LOOKING FOR PROOF
THAT FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
REALLY DID EXIST,
BUT HE NEVER FOUND ANY.
I WISH THE REST OF THESE PAGES
WEREN'T BLANK.
AMAZING!
BUT WHAT THE BOY DIDN'T KNOW
WAS THAT FROSTY
WAS LOOKING FOR HIM TOO,
BUT SOMEONE WHO WAS JEALOUS
OF THE BOY
HAD CAPTURED FROSTY'S HA AND LOCKED IT AWAY.
- [sinister laughter]
- PRINCIPAL PANKLEY!
BUT THE WIND HAS A WAY
OF STIRRING THINGS UP.
THE BOY WAS A MAN NOW,
AND IF HE DID NOT FIND HIS WAY
BACK TO FROSTY
AND RESTORE HIS FAITH IN MAGIC,
THE OTHERS WOULD TURN HIS WORLD
INTO AN UGLY PLACE.
WAIT A MINUTE...
WALTER WADER?
[knocking]
- LIGHTS OUT, TOMMY.
YOUR FATHER STILL
MAKES THE RULES IN THIS HOUSE,
AND IT'S LIGHTS OUT.
- OKAY, MOM, SORRY.
I CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN.
- OOF!
- [laughing]
- THIS IS FUN, WALTER,
BUT IT'S GETTING KIND
OF LATE, ISN'T IT?
- JUST A LITTLE LONGER?
PLEASE?
I WANT YOU TO TEACH ME HOW
TO DO A FIGURE EIGHT LIKE SARA.
- OKAY, I GUESS.
YAY!
[cracking]
- FROSTY, NO!
- TA-DA!
AWW.
- [crying]
- [laughing]
PLEASURE DOING BUSINESS
WITH YOU, WADER.
- YOU NEVER SAID ANYTHING
ABOUT FROSTY BEING MELTED.
- DO I LOOK LIKE A TISSUE?
- NO.
- THEN WHY ARE YOU
CRYING ALL OVER ME?
LOOK, YOU HAD
YOUR LITTLE ONE-ON-ONE TIME
WITH FROSTY,
MANO A SNOW-MANO,
AND IF YOU PLAY
YOUR CARDS RIGHT,
I'LL EVEN ALLOW YOU VISITATION.
POWER SMILE?
BETTER GET HOME TO BED, WALLY.
YOU'RE IN DIRECT VIOLATION
OF EVERGREEN CURFEW.
[laughing]
- [sobbing]
- GUESS YOU GOT YOUR BIG CHANCE
TO SUCK UP TO DAD.
- WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
- SOMEONE WHO KNEW
HOW TO DESTROY FROSTY
RATTED HIM OUT.
"HIS MAGIC POWERS
ARE IN HIS HAT,
JUST SO YOU KNOW."
- YOU THINK I DID THIS?
- NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES
YOU HAD THE CHANCE,
YOU NEVER HUNG OUT WITH HIM.
- BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID.
- OF FROSTY?
- NO, I--
- [clears throat]
PRINCIPAL PANKLEY...
- AHEM.
- OH, I'M SORRY,
MAYOR PANKLEY--
- HEY.
- OH. SORRY.
MAYOR PRINCIPAL PANKLEY
WILL NOW TAKE THE STAGE.
ALL RISE.
[sporadic applause]
- THANK YOU, MS. SHARPEY,
AND THANK YOU CHILDREN.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
IT IS A NEW DAY.
AS SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW,
MR. TINKERTON HAS PASSED
THE CLIPBOARD TO ME.
I AM NOW YOUR LEADER.
RIGHT.
OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS,
SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE THOUGH THAT YOU SAW SOMETHING
OR MET SOMEONE...
- WHERE'S THE HAT?
- WHAT?
HE'S GONE,
AND I KNOW YOU HAD SOMETHING
TO DO WITH IT, WALTER.
- I DON'T KNOW WHA YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
- THE AGE OF
PANKLEY IS UPON US.
CHILDREN ARE TO FOLLOW
THE RULES,
PARENTS ARE TO ASK
NO QUESTIONS,
AND EVERGREEN SHALL DO
ONLY WHAT PANKLEY SAYS.
PANKLEY SAYS STAND UP.
PANKLEY SAYS TOUCH YOUR HEADS.
PANKLEY SAYS HOP ON ONE FOOT.
HA-HA.
NOW STOP.
AHA!
PANKLEY DIDN'T SAY TO STOP,
DID HE?
LET THAT BE A LESSON TO YOU.
LET THAT BE A GOOD LESSON
TO YOU ALL.
[clanging]
NOW PANKLEY SAYS
GO BACK TO CLASS.
- KIDS HAD BEEN GIVEN
THEIR MARCHING ORDERS,
AND THEY MARCHED.
BUT THERE WAS ONE PERSON
WHO REFUSED
TO ACCEPT THINGS
THE WAY THEY WERE,
AND IT WAS FINALLY TIME FOR HIM
TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
- WHAT IS THIS?
- IT'S OUR FUTURE.
- I FOUND THIS COMIC BOOK IN
A SECRET ROOM UNDER THE LIBRARY.
IT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING.
- IS THAT DAD?
- YUP.
- AND PRINCIPAL PANKLEY?
- IF WE DON' GET FROSTY'S HAT BACK
AND SNAP DAD OUT OF IT,
THINGS ARE JUS GONNA KEEP GETTING WORSE.
YOU FEEL LIKE SAVING THE DAY?
- DAD.
- IT'S OKAY.
HE WON'T NOTICE.
DAD?
- INDOOR VOICE, SON.
- DAD?
- NOW I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
- PRINCIPAL PANKLEY'S NOT RIGH ABOUT EVERYTHING, DAD.
HE'S NOT RIGHT ABOUT MAGIC,
HE'S NOT RIGHT ABOUT FROSTY,
AND HE'S DEFINITELY NOT RIGH ABOUT YOU, DAD.
[door closing]
- WHERE THE HECK
ARE THOSE TWO GOING?
- I'M SORRY
I THOUGHT IT WAS YOU.
- THAT'S OKAY, SARA.
- I HAD NO RIGH TO TALK TO YOU LIKE THAT.
YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG.
- I DIDN'T DO
ANYTHING RIGHT EITHER.
I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING,
BUT THAT'S ALL GOING
TO CHANGE TONIGHT.
ARE YOU IN?
- FROSTY, FROSTY, LOOK OUT!
[gasps]
AH!
IT WASN'T MY FAULT.
PANKLEY TRICKED ME.
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN
THAT IF HE WAS INVOLVED,
THERE'D BE TROUBLE.
I JUST WANTED FROSTY BACK.
- THAT'S WHAT WE ALL WANT,
WALTER.
- WHAT TIME IS IT?
- TIME TO GO GET OUR SNOWMAN.
- WE'RE BREAKING FROSTY OUT,
AND WE'RE GONNA NEED BACKUP.
all: WE'RE IN.
- BEFORE THE CLIPBOARD?
FORGET ABOUT IT,
I NEEDED TEN HOURS,
BUT NOW I GET BY
ON NEXT TO NOTHING.
shatter!
WHO'S THERE?
HE'S BACK!
- [laughing]
- GET HIM!
UGH!
[knocking]
- WE'VE BEEN DUPED!
[alarm blaring]
- WOW.
PROPERTY OF THEODORE TINKERTON.
THIS IS FOR YOU, DAD.
- SHUT OFF THE ALARM
BEFORE THE WHOLE TOWN IS AWAKE.
THERE SHE IS.
STOP HER!
- UGH!
OW, MY LEG.
- STOP RIGHT THERE,
YOUNG LADY.
- HELP!
[shouting]
- HEADS UP, PANKLEY.
- AH
- PLEASURE DOING BUSINESS
WITH YOU.
- HA-HA-HA.
BACK TO BED, FOLKS.
NOTHING TO SEE HERE.
IN FACT, IT'S ALL A DREAM.
- SARA'S NOT IN HER ROOM.
- WALTER, TOO.
- BOTH MY BOYS ARE OUT THERE.
- I ASSURE YOU, LADIES,
WE HAVE EVERYTHING
UNDER CONTROL.
NOW GO BACK TO BED.
[whimpering,
growling]
- HANK,
CAN I DO ANYTHING TO HELP?
- YEAH, IN FACT YOU CAN.
STAY OUT OF MY WAY!
- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
[laughter]
- THEY'RE IN THE WOODS.
[all gasping]
- I KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE...
I KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE,
PEOPLE.
- IT LOOKS LIKE A SNOWMAN.
- A MAGICAL SNOWMAN.
- OH, YEAH,
IT LOOKS LIKE THAT.
PANKLEY SAYS CLOSE YOUR EYES.
CLOSE YOUR EYES.
PANKLEY SAYS DON'T LOOK
AT THE SNOWMAN
OR WHATEVER
THAT IS OR ISN'T.
IT'S NOT THERE.
- BOYS?
- DAD?
I WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU
TO AN OLD FRIEND OF YOURS,
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN.
- IS THAT REALLY YOU?
- MAN, YOU GOT OLD, HUH?
- I THOUGHT I MADE YOU UP.
- HE'S REAL, DAD.
HE WAS REAL ALL ALONG.
HERE, DAD.
I CAN'T WEAR THIS ANYMORE.
I BROKE ALL THE RULES,
AND I DIDN'T LISTEN.
- BUT YOU DID LISTEN.
YOU LISTENED TO YOUR HEART.
- YOU DID IT JUST RIGHT,
SON.
HEY, MY FATHER'S HAT.
WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?
- I HIT A LITTLE DETOUR
ALONG THE WAY.
- PRINCIPAL PANKLEY,
I BELIEVE YOU HAVE SOMETHING
THAT DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU
ANYMORE.
- THE HAT?
FINE, YOU TAKE IT.
I'M DONE WITH IT.
I'M NOT A HAT GUY.
- NO, THE CLIPBOARD.
COME ON.
COME ON.
DUT-DUT.
DUT-DUT-DUT-DUT-DUT.
- [struggling]
YOU ARE SETTING AN EXAMPLE
RIGHT NOW, SIR.
IF YOU ACCEPT THIS NONSENSE
AS REAL
THEN CHILDREN EVERYWHERE WILL--
OKAY!
THAT STINGS.
- WALTER, HOW COULD YOU?
I TAUGHT YOU BETTER THAN THAT.
- SO DID I.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO THROW OVERHAND.
- YOU THINK THAT'S FUNNY,
DON'T YOU?
YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME?
[all gasping]
- OH, YOU DON'T WANT TO STAR A SNOWBALL FIGH WITH A SNOWMAN, LADY.
[laughter]
- HARDY-HAR-HAR.
- [laughing]
[gasps]
- MOTHER, YOUR HAIR IS DOWN.
- I GUESS IT IS.
- AND IT LOOKS BETTER THAT WAY
IF YOU ASK ME.
- REALLY?
WELL, PERHAPS IT'S TIME
FOR A CHANGE THEN, SARA.
- SAY, MRS. SIMPLE,
HAVE YOU HEARD THE FORECAS FOR TOMORROW?
BLIZZARD!
- I'M COMING TO THE RESCUE,
MOTHER.
BACK UP.
I NEED BACK UP.
- GET HIM, BOYS.
- [laughing]
YES!
[laughter]
- IT'S HARD TO SAY EXACTLY
HOW IT HAPPENED,
BUT BEFORE LONG,
ALL OF EVERGREEN WAS INVOLVED
IN A SNOWBALLING, HORSE-PLAYING
LARK OF A GOOD TIME
AND ON A SCHOOL NIGHT NO LESS.
- AH!
- THE BOY HAD BOYS
OF HIS OWN NOW.
AND HE KNEW THAT IF
HE CONTINUED TO DENY MAGIC
ITS PLACE IN THE WORLD,
WELL, THEN HIS SONS' WORLD
WOULD BE A PLACE
WITHOUT MAGIC.
THAT IS NO WHAT THE BOY WANTED--
NOT ANYMORE.
- I'M OPEN!
I'M OPEN!
- WHERE'S THE PENNY?
WHERE'S THE PENNY?
THERE'S THE PENNY!
[laughs]
- AND AS FOR TOMMY TINKERTON,
ONCE HE FOUND THE COURAGE
TO TAKE ACTION,
HE WENT ON TO ACCOMPLISH
GREAT, GREAT THINGS.
- HEY.
- HEY.
- AND TOMMY GREW UP TO
HAVE EVERYTHING HE EVER WANTED.
TAKE IT FROM ME
BECAUSE, WELL...
I HAPPEN TO KNOW TOMMY TINKERTON
PRETTY DARN WELL.
- THOMAS.
COME IN FROM THE COLD.
YOU'LL CATCH YOUR DEATH.
- COMING, SARA.
I'M COMING.
[bouncy music]
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
WAS A JOLLY HAPPY SOUL
WITH A CORNCOB PIPE
AND A BUTTON NOSE
AND TWO EYES MADE
OUT OF COAL
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
IS A FAIRY TALE THEY SAY
HE WAS MADE OF SNOW
BUT THE CHILDREN KNOW
THAT HE CAME TO LIFE
ONE DAY
THERE MUST'VE BEEN
SOME MAGIC
IN THAT OLD SILK HA THEY FOUND
FOR WHEN THEY PLACED I ON HIS HEAD
HE BEGAN TO DANCE AROUND
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
WAS ALIVE AS HE COULD BE
AND THE CHILDREN SAY
HE COULD LAUGH AND PLAY
JUST THE SAME
AS YOU AND ME
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
KNEW THE SUN WAS HOT THAT DAY
SO HE SAID,
LET'S RUN AND HAVE FUN
NOW BEFORE I MELT AWAY
DOWN TO THE VILLAGE
WITH A BROOMSTICK IN HIS HAND
RUNNING HERE AND THERE
ALL AROUND THE SQUARE
SAYING,
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
HE LED THEM DOWN
THE STREETS OF TOWN
RIGHT TO THE TRAFFIC COP

STOP
THUMPITY, THUMP, THUMP
THUMPITY, THUMP, THUMP
LOOK AT THAT FROSTY GO
THUMPITY, THUMP, THUMP
THUMPITY, THUMP, THUMP
OVER THE HILLS OF SNOW
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN

AND TWO EYES MADE
OUT OF COAL
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
HAD TO HURRY ON HIS WAY
BUT HE WAVED GOOD-BYE SAYIN',
DON'T YOU CRY
'CAUSE I'LL BE BACK AGAIN
SOMEDAY
OUR HAPPIEST MEMORIES
ARE PACKED AWAY
IN HARD-TO-REACH PLACES,
BUT WHEN YOU FIND
SOMETHING LONG FORGOTTEN,
YOU REDISCOVER WHA YOU KNEW ALL ALONG.
[snapping]
[shimmering]
THIS IS THE STORY
OF A TOWN THAT HAD FORGOTTEN,
AND THE ONE MAGICAL WINTER
THAT MADE EVERYONE REMEMBER.
[bouncy music]
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
WAS A JOLLY HAPPY SOUL
WITH A CORNCOB PIPE
AND A BUTTON NOSE
AND TWO EYES MADE
OUT OF COAL
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
IS A FAIRY TALE THEY SAY
HE WAS MADE OF SNOW
BUT THE CHILDREN KNOW
THAT HE CAME TO LIFE

HE BEGAN TO DANCE AROUND
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
WAS ALIVE AS HE COULD BE
AND THE CHILDREN SAY
HE COULD LAUGH AND PLAY
JUST THE SAME
AS YOU AND ME
- [laughing]
- IT IS SAID
THAT FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
ALWAYS GOES
WHERE HE IS NEEDED MOST,
AND RIGHT NOW,
NO ONE NEEDS FROSTY MORE

NAMED TOMMY TINKERTON,
IN A TOWN CALLED EVERGREEN.

[door opens]

KEEP IT MOVING, PEOPLE.
WHOA!
OOF!
- [gasps]
[tires screeching]

EYES FORWARD, PUPILS.
- NOW DURING TODAY'S LESSON,
LET'S WORK ON CONCENTRATING
ON OUR PERFECT, PERFECT,
PERFECT LETTERING.
[tapping]
- LISTEN UP, SHORT STACK.
IF YOU THINK YOU'RE ENTITLED
TO SPECIAL PRIVILEGES
JUST BECAUSE
YOUR DAD IS THE MAYOR,
THEN YOU ARE SADLY MISTAKEN.
WHEN I SAY EYES FORWARD,
I MEAN EYES FORWARD!
- [gulps]
[bell ringing]
HI, SARA.
SO THEY, UH,
SWITCHED PENCILS ON US,

WELL, BYE.
"THEY SWITCHED PENCILS ON US."
WHAT AN IDIOT.
- BUT I DON'T WAN TO STAY COOPED UP
IN MY ROOM ALL DAY, MOTHER.
I WANT TO GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY.
- PLAYING IS OVERRATED.
WHEN I WAS A GIRL,
DO YOU KNOW
WHAT MY FAVORITE
AFTER-SCHOOL ACTIVITY WAS?
HAVING MOTHER BRUSH MY HAIR.
AND WITH LONG SWEEPING STROKES
DO WE BRUSH.
BRUSH!
YOU SEE, SARA,
EVERY GIRL IS A PRINCESS,
AND HER HAIR IS HER CROWN.
- BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE
A PRINCESS.
I WANT TO BE AN URBAN PLANNER.
- I SWEAR YOU GET THIS
FROM YOUR FATHER'S SIDE.
buzz!
[bell clanging]
- QUESTION ONE.
- YOUR SALAD AND SOUP COURSE
ARE PRESENTED AT THE SAME TIME.
- SET SALAD ASIDE,
3:00.
USING SOUP SPOON,
LARGEST ON THE TABLE,
MOVE SOUP IN COUNTERCLOCKWISE
MOTIONS TO COOL.
NEVER BLOW, NEVER SLURP,
NEVER SET SOILED SPOON
ON TABLECLOTH.
WAIT UNTIL OTHERS

BEFORE MOVING ON
TO THE SALAD COURSE.
- OOH, LOOK OUT.
- QUEEN OF ENGLAND!

IF YOU'RE AVAILABLE FOR TEA.
[laughing]

OLIVES, PICKLES,
NUTS, DEVILED EGGS, CHIPS.
- YES, YES, YES, YES,

NUMERO UNO.
VICTORY LAP AROUND THE 'HOOD,
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
JUST YOU, ME,
AND THE CLIPBOARD.
- HA-HA, YEAH!

- WOULD YOU LOOK AT HOW
HE HAS THAT LITTLE CLIPBOARD
ALL DRESSED UP FOR THE SNOW?
IF THAT'S NO THE CUTEST THING.
- [groans]
- OH, TOMMY,
DON'T LET IT GET YOU DOWN.
YOU'RE CAPABLE
OF GREAT THINGS TOO.
YOU'LL SEE.
[shimmering]
- YOU LOOKING FOR ME?
I CAN'T.
I ALREADY LET MY DAD DOWN
ONCE TODAY.
I JUST CAN'T.
- AND SO FROSTY'S PATH
TO TOMMY TINKERTON
WOULD NOT BE STRAIGH AND NARROW.
THE PATH WOULD TWIS AND TURN.
LEADING FROSTY
TO THE HOME OF WALTER WADER,
TOMMY'S FRIEND
AND NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR.
[knocking]
- [gasps]
WHO'S THERE?
AHA!
NO ANSWER.
AND SO WHAT DO YOU DO NOW,
WALTER?
- UH, OPEN THE DOOR
AND HIT 'EM
WITH THE VEGETABLES?
- THESE ARE NOT VEGETABLES,
WALTER.
THIS IS CORN.
CORN IS A STARCH.
- OPEN THE DOOR
AND HIT 'EM WITH THE STARCH?
- ABSOLUTELY NOT.
- SO I DON'T OPEN THE DOOR
AT ALL?
- YOU DO NOT.
- AND SO WHAT DO I DO
WITH THE STARCH?
- YOU PUT IT AWAY
IN THE PANTRY.
- I PUT IT AWAY IN THE PANTRY.
- YOU CAN RINSE
THOSE DINNER DISHES
WHILE YOU'RE IN THERE,
WALTER.
- RINSE THE DINNER DISHES.
- AND DON'T MAKE THE WATER
TOO HOT,
OR YOU'LL BURN YOURSELF,
WALTER.
- BURN MYSELF, WALTER.
AND DON'T LET THE WATER
RUN FULL BLAST,
OR YOU'LL WET YOURSELF.
- COLD WATER!
OH, GOOD...
OH, MESSY.
OH, NO.
I-I DIDN'T--
I WASN'T SUPPOSED TO--
WATER... OH.
- WALTER WAS A NERVOUS BOY.
SO WHO WOULD HAVE GUESSED
THAT WALTER WADER,
WALTER THE WORRIER,
WOULD BE THE FIRST ONE
TO HEED FROSTY'S CALL?
- [gasps]
WHO ARE YOU
AND WHAT DO YOU WANT?
[tapping]
HOW ARE YOU DOING THIS?
I DON'T SEE ANY STRINGS.
WHOA!
WHA!
- WALTER, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
- I HAVE NO IDEA.
I'M FLYING THROUGH
THE NIGHT SKY
WITHOUT A COAT.
[laughter]
THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.
HAT?
WHERE ARE YOU, HAT?
I KNOW.
- HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
- BUT IT'S NOT MY BIRTHDAY.
- THEN I GUESS WE'RE NOT TWINS,
ARE WE?
- TWINS?
OF COURSE WE'RE NOT TWINS.
I'M A PERSON
AND YOU'RE A SNOWMAN.
- A SNOWMAN?
I AM?
YOU'RE RIGHT, I AM!
HEY, ANYONE EVER TEACH YOU
THE RIGHT WAY
TO MAKE A SNOWBALL?
- AN ACTUAL SNOWBALL?
LIKE ON TV?
- THE KEY IS
TO FIND SOME GOOD, WET SNOW,
HEAP IT ON, DON'T BE STINGY,
AND PACK IT TIGHT.
- YOU'RE NOT GOING TO THROW
THAT AT ME, ARE YOU?
- OH, I DON'T KNOW.
- BUT I'M NOT EVEN WEARING
MY HELMET,
AND MY MOTHER SAYS
I CAN'T AFFORD
ANOTHER HEAD INJURY.
HEY!
THAT DIDN'T EVEN HURT.
[laughter]
- READY?
SET.
SNOW!
- WOW!
- GO!
- NO FAIR!
YOU CHEATED!
[laughter]
- KNOCK, KNOCK.
- WHO'S THERE?
- ICE CREAM SODA.
- ICE CREAM SODA WHO?
- I SCREAM "SODA" WHOLE
NEIGHBORHOOD CAN HEAR ME!
- SHH.
WELL, I GUESS
I'D BETTER HEAD INSIDE NOW.
IT'S JUST THAT...
I'M--I'M A LITTLE SCARED.
- SCARED?
SCARED OF WHAT?
- MY MOTHER.
- WHY?
IS SHE COVERED IN HAIR?
DOES SHE HAVE LONG FANGS
OR TERRIBLE CLAWS?
- NO, SHE'S JUST A LADY.
- OH.
JUST A LADY DOESN' SOUND SO SCARY.
- HELLO, MOTHER.
- W-W-W-WALTER?
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
I THOUGHT YOU
WERE IN YOUR BED
FAST ASLEEP.
WHAT IN THE WORLD
WERE YOU DOING OUT THERE?
- I GUESS I WAS HAVING FUN.
- AHH!
- NEVER FALTER, WALTER.
ONE DOWN.
THE REST OF EVERGREEN TO GO.
[indistinct conversation]
- I HEARD HE WAS OU AFTER DARK.
- AND HE DIDN' TELL HIS MOTHER.
- AND HE WASN'T EVEN SORRY.
- WALTER, WHAT WERE YOU
DOING OUT THERE LAST NIGHT?
- IT WAS AMAZING.
I--
[bell ringing]
I'LL TELL YOU AT LUNCH.
- WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, SIR,
YOU MUST COME DOWN ON THIS BOY
SWIFTLY AND WITHOUT MERCY.
OTHERWISE, WE'LL BE LOOKING
AT A MUTINY SITUATION.
- OOH.
MUTINY'S NOT GOOD.
- NO SIR, IT ISN'T.
- WE'RE IN A BIT OF
A PICKLE, PANK.
SURE, THE KID'S A GOOD EGG,
BUT ONE SOUR GRAPE
CAN SPOIL THE WHOLE ENCHILADA.
WELL, AM I WRONG?
WALTER WADER, PLEASE RISE.
crash!
[gasping]
- CHEESE AND FRIES,
I CAN'T WATCH.
[screaming]
POINTY, ISN'T IT?
I'M SORRY TO HAVE TO
DO THIS TO YOU, SON.
NEXT TIME THIS BOY
THINKS OF BREAKING CURFEW,
I DARESAY HE'LL THINK TWICE.
- THRICE!
- OR THRICE, MAYBE.
THERE ARE NO
WINNERS HERE TODAY.
- LET'S DIRECT OUR ATTENTION
BACK TO THE BOARD, PLEASE.
- WOW.
- YES!
- WALTER, YOU'VE GOT TO TELL ME
WHAT'S GOING ON.
I SAW THAT HAT YESTERDAY
AND--
- HEY, WADER.
IF YOU DON'T SHAPE UP,
I'M GOING TO SQUASH
YOU LIKE A BUG.
- BUT THAT'S NOT A BUG, CHARLIE.
THAT'S CORN.
CORN'S A STARCH.
- THIS TIME IT WAS THE STARCH,
BUT NEXT TIME
IT'S GONNA BE YOUR FACE.
SO I SUGGEST YOU WATCH
YOUR BACK, WALTER.
YOU WATCH YOUR BACK
AND YOUR FRONT AND YOUR--
YOUR MIDDLE AREA, TOO.
- IT WAS THE FIRST TIME
IN EVERGREEN HISTORY
THAT THE DETENTION ROOM
HAD BEEN USED.
THEY HAD TO FIND A SPECIAL KEY
JUST TO OPEN IT.
crash!
- NO!
I'M SORRY, SON,
BUT THIS IS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.
- GET READY TO TASTE THE CAP.
- DAD?
- TASTE IT.
- I ONLY--
- FOOD FIGHTING
IS A NO-NO, CHARLES.
YOU KNOW BETTER.
RULES ARE RULES.
[sighs]
AND I'LL NEED THE PIN BACK.
- [gasps]
NOT THE PIN.
- YES, THE PIN.
OH, DEFINITELY THE PIN.
- GAH!
THAT HURT ME MORE
THAN IT HURT YOU, SON,
BECAUSE I POKED MYSELF.
RIGHT THERE, SEE?
[muttering]
NOW, WALTER.
I'M GIVING YOU ONE LAST CHANCE
TO MAKE NICE-NICE
AND TELL OL' MR. TINK
WHERE YOU WERE LAST NIGHT.
- OH, PLAY BALL, WADER,
AND WALK OUT OF HERE NOW
WITH WHAT'S LEF OF YOUR DIGNITY.
- WELL,
IF YOU REALLY MUST KNOW,
I WAS PLAYING
WITH A MAGICAL SNOWMAN.
- M-M-MAGICAL
SNOWMAN?
- YEAH, YOU HEARD ME.
- WAIT A MINUTE.
IS IT MY IMAGINATION OR--
- IT IS MOST DEFINITELY
YOUR IMAGINATION, SIR.
MAGICAL SNOWMEN DO NOT EXIST.
- NO?
NO, OF COURSE THEY DON'T.
WE'LL FETCH YOU BOYS
BEFORE THE BUILDING CLOSES.
- DID YOU SEE THE
LOOKS ON THEIR FACES?
THAT'LL PUT AN END
TO THE NONSENSE.
I GUARANTEE IT.
SO WHA DO YOU WANT TO DO NOW?
MID-DAY INSPECTION?
LOOK FOR PARKING
VIOLATIONS?
SPIT SHINE THE CLIPBOARD?
I'M UP FOR ANYTHING.
- WOULD IF I COULD,
HANKY PANKY,
BUT I CAN'T, SO I WON'T.
- TOMORROW'S ANOTHER DAY, SIR.
TOMORROW IS INDEED
ANOTHER DAY.
- DUNCE CAPS?
DETENTION?
YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGH ON A DAY LIKE THA STUDENTS WOULD RUSH HOME,
JUST TO STAY OUT OF HARM'S WAY.
BUT NO ONE DID.
INSTEAD, THEY LINGERED.
BREATHING IN THE
UNMISTAKABLE SCENT OF MISCHIEF
THAT HUNG IN THE AIR.
- HUH?
- WHOO-HOO!
[laughing]
WHEE!
snap!
WHO'S THERE?
SHOW YOURSELF, COWARD!
- [panting]
- I THOUGHT NOT.
- [sighs]
- "COWARD."
THE WORST PART IS,
EVEN THOUGH SARA HAD NO IDEA
WHO SHE WAS TALKING TO
THAT DAY,
TOMMY COULDN'T HELP
BUT FEEL
THAT SHE HAD CALLED I JUST RIGHT.
- OH.
HELLO?
WAIT.
- MAGICAL SNOWMAN.
YEAH, RIGHT.
NO SUCH THING.
- IS TOO.
- IS NOT.
- IS TOO.
- IS NOT.
- IS NOT.
IS TOO--
IS NOT.
- [laughing]
- YOU THINK ANYONE IS GONNA
BELIEVE YOUR STUPID STORY
ABOUT A STUPID SNOWMAN?
- I THINK THEY
ALREADY BELIEVE IT.
YOU EVER SEEN YOUR DAD
THAT TONGUE-TIED BEFORE?
HMM?
- SHH!
- EXCUSE ME,
DID YOU SEE A--
- SHH!
STOP!
WHOA!
WHOA.
- I CAN'T BELIEVE
HE TOOK MY PIN.
- THAT'S NOTHING.
HE TOLD THE LITTLE KID
WHO LIVES NEXT DOOR TO ME
THAT SANTA CLAUS DOESN'T EXIST.
- SANTA CLAUS DOESN'T EXIST.
- JUST LIKE MAGICAL SNOWMEN,
RIGHT?
- [humming]
[laughter]
LET'S GO.
[laughter]
HMM, I SEE WHA YOU'RE GOING FOR,
BUT HIS LOWER BODY
LACKS STRUCTURE.
- GUESS IT TAKES
ONE TO KNOW ONE.
- YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT.
WATCH ME WORK.
- WOW!
- I CALL IT "ME."
- [laughs]
I SEE THE RESEMBLANCE.
- WELL, GOT TO GO.
WALTER, CALL ME.
- HUH, I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW
HE HAD A PHONE.
- AH!
WHAT IS THIS PLACE?
WOW.
AH!
THE SECRET AND NEVER
ENDING ADVENTURES
OF FROSTY THE SNOWMAN?
ONCE UPON A TIME
THERE WAS A BOY
WHO DIDN' BELIEVE IN MAGIC.
IRONICALLY,
HIS FATHER WAS A MAGICIAN.
THE BOY BELIEVED
THAT REAL MAGIC,
THE STUFF
YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN,
DID NOT EXIST.
AND THEN ONE DAY WHEN THE BOY
WAS RUNNING AN ERRAND
FOR HIS FATHER,
SOMETHING AMAZING HAPPENED.
- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
- THERE MUST HAVE BEEN SOME
MAGIC IN FATHER'S HAT AFTER ALL.
"UTTER NONSENSE,"
SAYS HIS FATHER.
"THE BOY SHOULD KNOW BETTER.
"MAGIC?
TALKING SNOWMEN?
IT'S AS FOOLISH
AS FOOLISH CAN BE."
THE BOY SPENT THE
REST OF THE WINTER
LOOKING FOR HIS FATHER'S HAT.
LOOKING FOR PROOF
THAT FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
REALLY DID EXIST,
BUT HE NEVER FOUND ANY.
[shimmering]
THAT'S IT?
- PEARL, HAS THE NEW
CLIPBOARD QUARTERLY ARRIVED?
SURE COULD USE THE PICK-ME-UP.
- HERE GO, MR. TINKERTON.
OH, SAY, DID YOU SEE TOMMY?
CAME IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS AGO.
AT LEAST I THINK THAT WAS HIM.
[piano playing]
- I CALL IT SARA SAYS.
IN THE KEY OF "G."
- REALLY, SARA.
I CAN'T EVEN HEAR MYSELF THINK
WITH THAT RACKET.
YOU SHOULD BE
PRACTICING YOUR SCALES.
- BUT SCALES
ARE SO REPETITIVE.
- AND THAT'S THE POINT, SARA.
THAT'S PRECISELY THE POINT.
SCALES ARE THE FOUNDATION
OF AN ACCOMPLISHED PIANIST.
AND AN AIR OF ACCOMPLISHMEN IS WHAT MAKES A GIRL
CAPTIVATING TO A SUITOR.
HOW DO YOU THINK
I CHARMED YOUR FATHER?
- [snoring]
- YOU CHARMED HIM
RIGHT TO SLEEP.
- WELL, DON'T BLAME ME.
HE WAS LIKE THA WHEN I FOUND HIM.
MOTHER KNOWS BEST, SARA.
YOU WILL SIT AT THIS PIANO
UNTIL YOUR SCALES ARE PERFECT,
AND SOME DAY YOU WILL
THANK ME FOR THIS.
- [sighs]
- TOMMY?
TOMCAT?
NO SHAME IN GOING
TO THE LIBRARY, SON.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO HIDE
YOUR LEARNING FROM ME.
[sighs]
OH!
- YOU OKAY, DAD?
- [chuckles]
JUST A LITTLE ANTSY,
I SUPPOSE.
SOME OF THE KIDS HAVE
BEEN GIVING YOUR OLD MAN
AN AWFUL CASE
OF THE GOOD GRIEFS.
YOUR BROTHER'S ONE OF 'EM.
FOOD FIGHTING,
BREAKING CURFEW,
AND NOW SOME NONSENSE
ABOUT A MAGICAL SNOWMAN?
JEEZ LOUISE.
WHERE DID I GO WRONG?
SEEMS LIKE EVERY KID IN TOWN
IS BREAKING THE RULES.
BUT NOT YOU, TOM-O.
I WANT YOU TO HAVE THIS PIN.
YOU'RE NUMBER ONE NOW.
- ME?
- WHO ELSE?
I WANT YOU TO BE MY EYES,
MY EARS, MY NOSE, AND MY FEET.
I'M COUNTING ON YOU TO TELL ME
IF THERE IS ANY FUNNY BUSINESS
WHATSOEVER.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO
IF I DIDN'T HAVE YOU,
ALWAYS RIGHT THERE BESIDE ME,
HELPING ME KEEP
THINGS STRAIGHT.
[sobs]
- IT'S OKAY, DAD.
- OH, I WAS TALKING
TO THE CLIPBOARD, SON.
- OH.
- MY RULES MAY SEEM SILLY,
BUT THEY'RE MADE TO PROTECT YOU.
- PROTECT ME FROM WHAT?
- DISAPPOINTMENT.
DELUSION.
SOME OTHER THINGS
THAT START WITH "D."
THINGS THAT START WITH "D"
THAT YOU COULDN' POSSIBLY UNDERSTAND,
SO JUST TRUST ME, TOM-TOM,
AND BE A
GOOD, GOOD RULE-FOLLOWER, HUH?
WILL YOU DO THAT FOR ME?
- YOU GOT IT, DAD.
- ATTA BOY.
LET'S HAVE A HUG.
AWW, WHAT THE HECK,
THE BOTH OF YOU.
[tapping]
- [gasps]
- OOF!
HELLO.
- HELLO.
YOU TALK.
- SO DO YOU.
I TALK ALL THE TIME,
ACTUALLY,
BUT NO ONE
EVER SEEMS TO HEAR ME.
- MAYBE YOU'RE
TALKING TOO LOUDLY.
- IS THAT RIGHT?
- IN FACT,
THE QUIETER I TALK...
THE MORE ATTENTION
YOU HAVE TO PAY
JUST TO HEAR
WHAT I'M SAYING.
- WOW.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
- SHH!
- [giggling]
- SO, SARA, WHAT IS I THAT YOU HAVE TO SAY?
[whispering]
- DEAR MISS BARKER--
- I AM NOT MY MOTHER.
- WHAT'S THAT?
I MUST BE TIRED.
DEAR MISS BARKER,
I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH--
- I DON'T LIKE TEA TIME.
- WHAT.
- I WANT TO PLAY MY OWN MUSIC.
- WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
- I DON'T LIKE HAVING LONG HAIR.
- SARA, IS THAT YOU?
- AND I'D LIKE TO LEARN
TO ICE SKATE.
IF YOU PLEASE.
- ICE SKATE?
ICE SKATE?
I LOVE TO ICE SKATE!
- WOW!
- LET'S GO.
[laughs]
[laughter]
- WHEE!
WHOO-HOO!
[laughing]
- HEY, CHARLIE.
I FOUND SOMETHING AMAZING
AT THE LIBRARY TODAY.
- WAS IT MY NUMBER ONE PIN?
DAD'S NOT RIGH ABOUT EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW.
HE'S NOT RIGHT ABOUT MAGIC
OR TALKING SNOWMEN,
AND HE'S DEFINITELY NOT RIGH ABOUT YOU BEING NUMBER ONE.
- THE SECRET SOCIETY
OF FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
HAD STARTED TO FORM,
BUT ITS MOST IMPORTANT MEMBER
WAS STILL MISSING.
[whispering]
- THINK WE'LL EVER GE TO SEE HIM AGAIN?
- I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE EACH KID
ONLY GETS ONE CHANCE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK, WALTER?
- [clears throat]
- SO DAD'S CAR GOT VANDALIZED,
DID YOU HEAR?
PRINCIPAL PANKLEY'S
STILL LOOKING
FOR THE ONE WHO DID IT.
- UH, THIS IS
A PRIVATE CONVERSATION.
- SORRY, TOMMY.
THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW.
- YEAH, NOW THA YOU'RE NUMBER ONE.
- SURE, I GET IT.
NO PROBLEM.
HIS MAGIC POWERS
COME FROM HIS TOP HAT.
IT USED TO BELONG
TO A MAGICIAN.
JUST SO YOU KNOW.
[door opens]
- BOYS, IS THAT YOU?
- JUST ME, MOM.
- I'M IN THE FAMILY ROOM.
NOTHING MISSING
BUT THE FAMILY.
- WHATCHA DOING?
- SCRAPBOOKING.
- HUH?
MOM, WHO'S THIS?
- WHY THAT'S YOUR FATHER
WHEN HE WAS YOUR AGE.
PLAYING WITH
YOUR GRANDFATHER'S HAT.
HE WAS A MAGICIAN, YOU KNOW?
TOMMY?
TOMMY?
- DOING MY HOMEWORK.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
THE BOY IN THE COMIC...
THAT'S MY DAD.
- WAY TO SHINE, BIG GUY!
FEEL THAT GOLDEN GLOW.
GOSH, THAT'S WARM STUFF.
WHAT THE MOUSE?
6:01?
COME ON, BIG GUY,
BE A TEAM PLAYER.
THERE'S A SCHEDULE TO KEEP.
[growls]
YOU WILL RUE THE DAY--
SWEET CORN WITH DRAWN BUTTER.
I DON'T KNOW
WHERE THAT CAME FROM.
NOW WHERE WERE WE?
MORNING PAPER IN THE POST BOX?
CHECKAROONI.
SNOW DRIFTS SAFELY
BELOW REGULATION HEIGHT?
CHECK.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
NO!
[crying]
MY CAR?
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
AGH!
- MUTINY, SIR.
THE CALLS WON'T STOP COMING IN.
CHILDREN AREN'T LISTENING
TO THE RULES.
THEY AREN'T LISTENING
TO THEIR PARENTS.
IN A NUTSHELL, IT'S MAYHEM.
- BUT IF THE KIDS
AREN'T LISTENING TO US,
AND THEY'RE NO LISTENING TO THEIR PARENTS.
WHO ARE THEY LISTENING TO?
- HERE, FROSTY.
OVER HERE.
IT'S YOUR OLD PAL, WALTER.
CHOOSE ME.
CHOOSE ME.
- WALTER,
I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.
- GO AWAY.
NO, NO, NO.
NOT YOU.
COME BACK!
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
- I WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
IT'S ABOUT FROSTY
AND MY DAD.
IT'S ABOUT THE WHOLE TOWN.
- [grunting]
OW!
HEY, WATCH IT.
- YOU WATCH IT.
- WOULD YOU TWO CAN IT?
[laughter]
- YOU'RE FROSTY THE SNOWMAN.
- I KNOW.
AND YOU'RE SONNY, SULLY,
AND SIMON SKLAREW.
- HEY,
YOU CAN TELL US APART.
- WHAT ARE YOU BOYS
DOING OUT HERE?
- WE'RE TAKING OUT THE TRASH.
- TAKING OUT THE TRASH?
TAKING OUT THE TRASH?
THAT'S A GREAT IDEA!
WHY, I'LL BET THE TRASH
HARDLY EVER GETS TO GO OUT.
THINK ABOUT IT.
TRASH, THIS IS EVERGREEN.
EVERGREEN, THIS IS THE TRASH.
WHOO-HOO!
- WAIT UP, FROSTY.
- THERE'S BEEN MORE TALK, SIR,
OF THIS MAGICAL SNOWMAN.
- BUT IT'S CRAZY TALK.
THERE'S NO SUCH THING.
IS THERE?
- OF COURSE NOT, SIR,
YOU KNOW THAT AND I KNOW THAT,
BUT SOMETHING HAS CONVINCED
OUR CHILDREN OTHERWISE.
NOW THEY'RE STARTING
TO QUESTION EVERYTHING
THAT EVERGREEN STANDS FOR.
- THEN WE MUST ACT SWIFTLY
AND WITHOUT--
- SWIFTLY AND WITHOUT MERCY.
I COULDN'T AGREE MORE.
IT'S JUST THAT...
- PLEASE, SPEAK FRANKLY,
PANKLEY.
- WELL, SIR, WE'VE KNOWN EACH
OTHER SINCE WE WERE CHILDREN,
AND I'VE NEVER HAD ANYTHING
BUT RESPECT FOR YOU,
EXCEPT MAYBE GREAT RESPECT,
BUT THESE DAYS...
LOOK AT YOU SIR,
YOU'RE A MESS.
- I AM?
- YOUR CAR'S BEEN VANDALIZED.
THE GROUNDS ARE UNKEMPT.
YOUR CHILDREN
WON'T LISTEN TO YOU.
DO YOU REALLY THINK
YOU'RE STILL UP TO THE JOB?
- FOR THE FIRST TIME
IN A LONG TIME,
MR. TINKERTON WASN' SURE HE HAD THE ANSWER,
AND WHEN YOU DON' HAVE THE ANSWERS, WELL,
THAT'S WHEN THERE'S ROOM
FOR WONDERFUL THINGS TO HAPPEN.
- THE LITTLE BOY
IN THE STORY IS MY DAD.
- HOW DO I KNOW YOU'RE
NOT JUST SPYING ON ME?
[laughter]
FROSTY!
- FROSTY!
- CHARLIE?
- WALTER, WAIT.
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
- SO IS THIS.
FROSTY WAS MY PAL FIRST.
- WHOO-HOO!
[all shouting]
- HEY, FROSTY,
WAIT FOR ME.
- HE'S BEEN LIKE THIS
FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR NOW.
NOTHING
SEEMS TO SNAP HIM OUT OF IT.
LA, LA, LA, LA,
LA, LA, LA, LA
LA, LA, LA, LA, LA, LA
CLIPBOARD
LA, LA, LA, LA,
LA, LA, LA, LA
LA, LA, LA, LA
LITTLE CLIPPY, LA, LA
NOTHING.
- THAT USUALLY
CRACKS HIM UP.
- PANKLEY IS A GOOD MAN.
HE'LL DO WONDERS
WITH EVERGREEN.
I'M SURE OF IT.
- MOM, WHAT'S HE TALKING ABOUT?
- OH, STOMACH CRAMP.
WAIT UP, FROSTY!
- SORRY.
TRY, TRY
AS HARD AS YOU CAN
YOU CAN'T CATCH ME
I'M FROSTY THE SNOW--
OOF!
- MY CITY!
IT'S RUINED.
- YOU THINK SO?
- THAT'S EVERGREEN
THE WAY I SEE IT,
OR THE WAY I'D WISH IT WAS
IF WISHING WEREN' AGAINST THE RULES.
- THIS IS BEAUTIFUL, SARA,
AND THE BEST PART IS,
THE ONLY THING YOU NEED
TO COMPLETE YOUR VISION
IS RIGHT HERE.
- OH, FROSTY.
- NO, LITERALLY.
IT'S RIGHT HERE
IN MY CHEST CAVITY.
- OH.
AND YOU KEEP YOUR DREAMS
RIGHT THERE TOO, SARA.
THAT'S THE SAFEST PLACE
FOR THEM.
NOW WHO WANTS
TO CATCH SOME SNOW?
[cheering]
[rumbling]
- GUYS?
FROSTY?
WHERE DID EVERYONE GO?
LITTLE HELP HERE?
[piano playing scales]
- IT FELT LIKE A NEW DAY
FOR THE CHILDREN OF EVERGREEN,
BUT THE DARKEST HOUR
OFTEN COMES
DIRECTLY AFTER
HAVING SEEN THE LIGHT.
- [gasps]
OH, NO!
- MAN, I HATE FROLICKING.
THAT SNOWMAN IS BACK,
AND HE'S RUINING EVERYTHING.
I GOT TO DO SOMETHING.
- GOT SOME NEW FRIENDS, DO YOU?
NO TIME LEFT FOR YOUR OLD PAL?
- WHAT'S THAT?
HARD BEING THE ODD MAN OUT,
ISN'T IT?
MAYBE YOU'D HAVE BETTER
LUCK FINDING FROSTY
IF YOU WAITED TILL DARK.
YOU KNOW,
WHEN HE WASN'T SO BUSY.
- [sniffles]
YOU MEAN,
YOU KNOW ABOUT FROSTY?
- SURE, NO BIGGIE.
- WELL, WHAT ABOUT CURFEW?
- YOU KNOW,
I THINK WE CAN BEND THE RULES
JUST THIS ONCE NOW.
HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'LL EVEN CHAPERONE.
DON'T THANK ME NOW.
WHAT SAY WE MEET AT THE LAKE?
8:45 WORK FOR YOU?
- MY DAUGHTER DIDN' MAKE HER BED THIS MORNING.
- MY BOYS SAID THE SNOWMAN
MADE THEM SHIRK THEIR CHORES
AND STEAL OUR GARBAGE.
- MY DAUGHTER IS REFUSING PIANO.
SHE ONLY WANTS TO GO ICE-SKATING
WITH THE SNOW FELLOW.
- THEY'RE BREAKING RULES!
- TALKING BACK!
- ACTING SILLY!
- TELLING STORIES!
- ALL ABOUT SOME SNOWMAN
NAMED FROSTY!
- ALL RIGHT!
YAY!
[laughter]
- GOOD PEOPLE OF EVERGREEN,
ON BEHALF OF MR. TINKERTON
AND MYSELF,
I ASSURE YOU
MAGICAL SNOWMEN DO NOT EXIST.
A CHILD'S IMAGINATION
IS A DANGEROUS THING.
ANY FUTURE BOUTS OF IMAGIN-ITIS
WILL BE DEALT WITH
SWIFTLY AND WITHOUT MERCY.
AS OF TONIGHT, I WILL BE
STEPPING IN FOR MR. TINKERTON
IN MANAGING BOTH
THE CRISIS SITUATION
AND THE TOWN OF EVERGREEN.
AND I ASSURE YOU,
YOU WILL NEVER HEAR THE WORDS
"FROSTY THE SNOWMAN" AGAIN.
[cheers and applause]
MR. TINKERTON,
OLD FRIEND,
YOUR CLIPBOARD PLEASE.
- [whimpering]
- THE BOY SPENT THE RES OF THE WINTER LOOKING FOR PROOF
THAT FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
REALLY DID EXIST,
BUT HE NEVER FOUND ANY.
I WISH THE REST OF THESE PAGES
WEREN'T BLANK.
AMAZING!
BUT WHAT THE BOY DIDN'T KNOW
WAS THAT FROSTY
WAS LOOKING FOR HIM TOO,
BUT SOMEONE WHO WAS JEALOUS
OF THE BOY
HAD CAPTURED FROSTY'S HA AND LOCKED IT AWAY.
- [sinister laughter]
- PRINCIPAL PANKLEY!
BUT THE WIND HAS A WAY
OF STIRRING THINGS UP.
THE BOY WAS A MAN NOW,
AND IF HE DID NOT FIND HIS WAY
BACK TO FROSTY
AND RESTORE HIS FAITH IN MAGIC,
THE OTHERS WOULD TURN HIS WORLD
INTO AN UGLY PLACE.
WAIT A MINUTE...
WALTER WADER?
[knocking]
- LIGHTS OUT, TOMMY.
YOUR FATHER STILL
MAKES THE RULES IN THIS HOUSE,
AND IT'S LIGHTS OUT.
- OKAY, MOM, SORRY.
I CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN.
- OOF!
- [laughing]
- THIS IS FUN, WALTER,
BUT IT'S GETTING KIND
OF LATE, ISN'T IT?
- JUST A LITTLE LONGER?
PLEASE?
I WANT YOU TO TEACH ME HOW
TO DO A FIGURE EIGHT LIKE SARA.
- OKAY, I GUESS.
YAY!
[cracking]
- FROSTY, NO!
- TA-DA!
AWW.
- [crying]
- [laughing]
PLEASURE DOING BUSINESS
WITH YOU, WADER.
- YOU NEVER SAID ANYTHING
ABOUT FROSTY BEING MELTED.
- DO I LOOK LIKE A TISSUE?
- NO.
- THEN WHY ARE YOU
CRYING ALL OVER ME?
LOOK, YOU HAD
YOUR LITTLE ONE-ON-ONE TIME
WITH FROSTY,
MANO A SNOW-MANO,
AND IF YOU PLAY
YOUR CARDS RIGHT,
I'LL EVEN ALLOW YOU VISITATION.
POWER SMILE?
BETTER GET HOME TO BED, WALLY.
YOU'RE IN DIRECT VIOLATION
OF EVERGREEN CURFEW.
[laughing]
- [sobbing]
- GUESS YOU GOT YOUR BIG CHANCE
TO SUCK UP TO DAD.
- WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
- SOMEONE WHO KNEW
HOW TO DESTROY FROSTY
RATTED HIM OUT.
"HIS MAGIC POWERS
ARE IN HIS HAT,
JUST SO YOU KNOW."
- YOU THINK I DID THIS?
- NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES
YOU HAD THE CHANCE,
YOU NEVER HUNG OUT WITH HIM.
- BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID.
- OF FROSTY?
- NO, I--
- [clears throat]
PRINCIPAL PANKLEY...
- AHEM.
- OH, I'M SORRY,
MAYOR PANKLEY--
- HEY.
- OH. SORRY.
MAYOR PRINCIPAL PANKLEY
WILL NOW TAKE THE STAGE.
ALL RISE.
[sporadic applause]
- THANK YOU, MS. SHARPEY,
AND THANK YOU CHILDREN.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
IT IS A NEW DAY.
AS SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW,
MR. TINKERTON HAS PASSED
THE CLIPBOARD TO ME.
I AM NOW YOUR LEADER.
RIGHT.
OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS,
SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE THOUGH THAT YOU SAW SOMETHING
OR MET SOMEONE...
- WHERE'S THE HAT?
- WHAT?
HE'S GONE,
AND I KNOW YOU HAD SOMETHING
TO DO WITH IT, WALTER.
- I DON'T KNOW WHA YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
- THE AGE OF
PANKLEY IS UPON US.
CHILDREN ARE TO FOLLOW
THE RULES,
PARENTS ARE TO ASK
NO QUESTIONS,
AND EVERGREEN SHALL DO
ONLY WHAT PANKLEY SAYS.
PANKLEY SAYS STAND UP.
PANKLEY SAYS TOUCH YOUR HEADS.
PANKLEY SAYS HOP ON ONE FOOT.
HA-HA.
NOW STOP.
AHA!
PANKLEY DIDN'T SAY TO STOP,
DID HE?
LET THAT BE A LESSON TO YOU.
LET THAT BE A GOOD LESSON
TO YOU ALL.
[clanging]
NOW PANKLEY SAYS
GO BACK TO CLASS.
- KIDS HAD BEEN GIVEN
THEIR MARCHING ORDERS,
AND THEY MARCHED.
BUT THERE WAS ONE PERSON
WHO REFUSED
TO ACCEPT THINGS
THE WAY THEY WERE,
AND IT WAS FINALLY TIME FOR HIM
TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
- WHAT IS THIS?
- IT'S OUR FUTURE.
- I FOUND THIS COMIC BOOK IN
A SECRET ROOM UNDER THE LIBRARY.
IT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING.
- IS THAT DAD?
- YUP.
- AND PRINCIPAL PANKLEY?
- IF WE DON' GET FROSTY'S HAT BACK
AND SNAP DAD OUT OF IT,
THINGS ARE JUS GONNA KEEP GETTING WORSE.
YOU FEEL LIKE SAVING THE DAY?
- DAD.
- IT'S OKAY.
HE WON'T NOTICE.
DAD?
- INDOOR VOICE, SON.
- DAD?
- NOW I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
- PRINCIPAL PANKLEY'S NOT RIGH ABOUT EVERYTHING, DAD.
HE'S NOT RIGHT ABOUT MAGIC,
HE'S NOT RIGHT ABOUT FROSTY,
AND HE'S DEFINITELY NOT RIGH ABOUT YOU, DAD.
[door closing]
- WHERE THE HECK
ARE THOSE TWO GOING?
- I'M SORRY
I THOUGHT IT WAS YOU.
- THAT'S OKAY, SARA.
- I HAD NO RIGH TO TALK TO YOU LIKE THAT.
YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG.
- I DIDN'T DO
ANYTHING RIGHT EITHER.
I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING,
BUT THAT'S ALL GOING
TO CHANGE TONIGHT.
ARE YOU IN?
- FROSTY, FROSTY, LOOK OUT!
[gasps]
AH!
IT WASN'T MY FAULT.
PANKLEY TRICKED ME.
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN
THAT IF HE WAS INVOLVED,
THERE'D BE TROUBLE.
I JUST WANTED FROSTY BACK.
- THAT'S WHAT WE ALL WANT,
WALTER.
- WHAT TIME IS IT?
- TIME TO GO GET OUR SNOWMAN.
- WE'RE BREAKING FROSTY OUT,
AND WE'RE GONNA NEED BACKUP.
all: WE'RE IN.
- BEFORE THE CLIPBOARD?
FORGET ABOUT IT,
I NEEDED TEN HOURS,
BUT NOW I GET BY
ON NEXT TO NOTHING.
shatter!
WHO'S THERE?
HE'S BACK!
- [laughing]
- GET HIM!
UGH!
[knocking]
- WE'VE BEEN DUPED!
[alarm blaring]
- WOW.
PROPERTY OF THEODORE TINKERTON.
THIS IS FOR YOU, DAD.
- SHUT OFF THE ALARM
BEFORE THE WHOLE TOWN IS AWAKE.
THERE SHE IS.
STOP HER!
- UGH!
OW, MY LEG.
- STOP RIGHT THERE,
YOUNG LADY.
- HELP!
[shouting]
- HEADS UP, PANKLEY.
- AH
- PLEASURE DOING BUSINESS
WITH YOU.
- HA-HA-HA.
BACK TO BED, FOLKS.
NOTHING TO SEE HERE.
IN FACT, IT'S ALL A DREAM.
- SARA'S NOT IN HER ROOM.
- WALTER, TOO.
- BOTH MY BOYS ARE OUT THERE.
- I ASSURE YOU, LADIES,
WE HAVE EVERYTHING
UNDER CONTROL.
NOW GO BACK TO BED.
[whimpering,
growling]
- HANK,
CAN I DO ANYTHING TO HELP?
- YEAH, IN FACT YOU CAN.
STAY OUT OF MY WAY!
- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
[laughter]
- THEY'RE IN THE WOODS.
[all gasping]
- I KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE...
I KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE,
PEOPLE.
- IT LOOKS LIKE A SNOWMAN.
- A MAGICAL SNOWMAN.
- OH, YEAH,
IT LOOKS LIKE THAT.
PANKLEY SAYS CLOSE YOUR EYES.
CLOSE YOUR EYES.
PANKLEY SAYS DON'T LOOK
AT THE SNOWMAN
OR WHATEVER
THAT IS OR ISN'T.
IT'S NOT THERE.
- BOYS?
- DAD?
I WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU
TO AN OLD FRIEND OF YOURS,
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN.
- IS THAT REALLY YOU?
- MAN, YOU GOT OLD, HUH?
- I THOUGHT I MADE YOU UP.
- HE'S REAL, DAD.
HE WAS REAL ALL ALONG.
HERE, DAD.
I CAN'T WEAR THIS ANYMORE.
I BROKE ALL THE RULES,
AND I DIDN'T LISTEN.
- BUT YOU DID LISTEN.
YOU LISTENED TO YOUR HEART.
- YOU DID IT JUST RIGHT,
SON.
HEY, MY FATHER'S HAT.
WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?
- I HIT A LITTLE DETOUR
ALONG THE WAY.
- PRINCIPAL PANKLEY,
I BELIEVE YOU HAVE SOMETHING
THAT DOESN'T BELONG TO YOU
ANYMORE.
- THE HAT?
FINE, YOU TAKE IT.
I'M DONE WITH IT.
I'M NOT A HAT GUY.
- NO, THE CLIPBOARD.
COME ON.
COME ON.
DUT-DUT.
DUT-DUT-DUT-DUT-DUT.
- [struggling]
YOU ARE SETTING AN EXAMPLE
RIGHT NOW, SIR.
IF YOU ACCEPT THIS NONSENSE
AS REAL
THEN CHILDREN EVERYWHERE WILL--
OKAY!
THAT STINGS.
- WALTER, HOW COULD YOU?
I TAUGHT YOU BETTER THAN THAT.
- SO DID I.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO THROW OVERHAND.
- YOU THINK THAT'S FUNNY,
DON'T YOU?
YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME?
[all gasping]
- OH, YOU DON'T WANT TO STAR A SNOWBALL FIGH WITH A SNOWMAN, LADY.
[laughter]
- HARDY-HAR-HAR.
- [laughing]
[gasps]
- MOTHER, YOUR HAIR IS DOWN.
- I GUESS IT IS.
- AND IT LOOKS BETTER THAT WAY
IF YOU ASK ME.
- REALLY?
WELL, PERHAPS IT'S TIME
FOR A CHANGE THEN, SARA.
- SAY, MRS. SIMPLE,
HAVE YOU HEARD THE FORECAS FOR TOMORROW?
BLIZZARD!
- I'M COMING TO THE RESCUE,
MOTHER.
BACK UP.
I NEED BACK UP.
- GET HIM, BOYS.
- [laughing]
YES!
[laughter]
- IT'S HARD TO SAY EXACTLY
HOW IT HAPPENED,
BUT BEFORE LONG,
ALL OF EVERGREEN WAS INVOLVED
IN A SNOWBALLING, HORSE-PLAYING
LARK OF A GOOD TIME
AND ON A SCHOOL NIGHT NO LESS.
- AH!
- THE BOY HAD BOYS
OF HIS OWN NOW.
AND HE KNEW THAT IF
HE CONTINUED TO DENY MAGIC
ITS PLACE IN THE WORLD,
WELL, THEN HIS SONS' WORLD
WOULD BE A PLACE
WITHOUT MAGIC.
THAT IS NO WHAT THE BOY WANTED--
NOT ANYMORE.
- I'M OPEN!
I'M OPEN!
- WHERE'S THE PENNY?
WHERE'S THE PENNY?
THERE'S THE PENNY!
[laughs]
- AND AS FOR TOMMY TINKERTON,
ONCE HE FOUND THE COURAGE
TO TAKE ACTION,
HE WENT ON TO ACCOMPLISH
GREAT, GREAT THINGS.
- HEY.
- HEY.
- AND TOMMY GREW UP TO
HAVE EVERYTHING HE EVER WANTED.
TAKE IT FROM ME
BECAUSE, WELL...
I HAPPEN TO KNOW TOMMY TINKERTON
PRETTY DARN WELL.
- THOMAS.
COME IN FROM THE COLD.
YOU'LL CATCH YOUR DEATH.
- COMING, SARA.
I'M COMING.
[bouncy music]
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
WAS A JOLLY HAPPY SOUL
WITH A CORNCOB PIPE
AND A BUTTON NOSE
AND TWO EYES MADE
OUT OF COAL
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
IS A FAIRY TALE THEY SAY
HE WAS MADE OF SNOW
BUT THE CHILDREN KNOW
THAT HE CAME TO LIFE
ONE DAY
THERE MUST'VE BEEN
SOME MAGIC
IN THAT OLD SILK HA THEY FOUND
FOR WHEN THEY PLACED I ON HIS HEAD
HE BEGAN TO DANCE AROUND
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
WAS ALIVE AS HE COULD BE
AND THE CHILDREN SAY
HE COULD LAUGH AND PLAY
JUST THE SAME
AS YOU AND ME
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
KNEW THE SUN WAS HOT THAT DAY
SO HE SAID,
LET'S RUN AND HAVE FUN
NOW BEFORE I MELT AWAY
DOWN TO THE VILLAGE
WITH A BROOMSTICK IN HIS HAND
RUNNING HERE AND THERE
ALL AROUND THE SQUARE
SAYING,
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN
HE LED THEM DOWN
THE STREETS OF TOWN
RIGHT TO THE TRAFFIC COP
AND HE ONLY PAUSED A MOMENT
WHEN HE HEARD HIM HOLLER,
STOP
THUMPITY, THUMP, THUMP
THUMPITY, THUMP, THUMP
LOOK AT THAT FROSTY GO
THUMPITY, THUMP, THUMP
THUMPITY, THUMP, THUMP
OVER THE HILLS OF SNOW
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
WAS A JOLLY HAPPY SOUL
WITH A CORNCOB PIPE
AND A BUTTON NOSE
AND TWO EYES MADE
OUT OF COAL
FROSTY THE SNOWMAN
HAD TO HURRY ON HIS WAY
BUT HE WAVED GOOD-BYE SAYIN',
DON'T YOU CRY
'CAUSE I'LL BE BACK AGAIN
