Frosty the Snowman

Frosty the Snowman is an upcoming American 3D computer-animated

At a schoolhouse in the town during the first snow of the season, a magician named Professor Hinkle is hired by the teacher to perform tricks for a class of children's Christmas party.

His magic tricks all fail spectacularly, prompting him to throw his silk top hat into the trash can.

But the hat bounces off and lands on the floor, releasing Hinkle's rabbit Hocus Pocus who wears the hat and upstages his master, much to the children's amusement.

When the ring of the bell dismisses the school, the children go outside to play in the schoolyard where they build a snowman with a corncob pipe, a red button nose, two coal eyes and a broomstick.

After the children's suggested names for the snowman including Harold, Bruce, Christopher Columbus and "Oatmeal", Karen names him Frosty.

Just then, Hocus went outside with the hat still over him, and with Professor Hinkle in hot pursuit.

By the time Hinkle grabs only Hocus, the wind blows the hat and Karen quickly catches it and place it onto Frosty's head.

And suddenly, everyone's surprise including Hinkle's, Frosty transforms into a living snowman with real eyes, first-time saying, "Happy Birthday!" The children become delighted as they realize it was the magic of the hat that cause Frosty to come to life.

But after he, too, finds out that the hat is magic, Hinkle takes it back when another wind blows it off Frosty's head, changing the snowman back to his lifeless form with coal eyes.

The ridiculous magician vows to use the hat to become a millionaire, and when the children state their objections, he mockingly tells them that when the children grow up, they'll learn that snowmen can't come to life.

But while Hinkle walks through town, Hocus steals back the hat by switching it with a wreath and escape their greedy master, immediately returning back to the children, Tom, Jerry and Frosty in the schoolyard.

Thanks to Hocus, Karen puts the hat back on Frosty's head, and for the second time, the snowman is brought to life by its magical power, again saying, "Happy Birthday!" Amazed to see that he is alive, Frosty takes some time to speak more words, moving his body, juggling snowballs, sweeping his broom, counting numbers and expressing emotions like being ticklish.

His self-observation was succeeded and he and the amazement children shared their feelings for each other to the point where Frosty said that he will forever always be there for them.

However, as the children and Hocus had fun with their friend with various winter activities including snowball battles, making Christmas angels and even ice-skating, Frosty suddenly enters the early stages of sweating.

Noticing a thermometer on the school's brick wall, he worries that when the temperature rises, he will start to melt.

Karen suggested to find a place where Frosty would never melt and Frosty names only one place for him to live at; the North Pole.

The children and Hocus decide to take him to the North Pole, even if they have to take him downtown to the railroad station where he can ride on the train.

And so, the group left the schoolyard and parade through town, shocking other townspeople including the traffic cop, who then accidentally swallows his whistle after excusing Frosty for being alive and naive.

While on the way to the railroad station, they stop at the bakery and cafe where a female owner offers Frosty free Christmas muffins for his personality, so he can share them with the kids and Hocus.

The group arrives at the railroad station, but they realize they have no money to buy train tickets as the ticket man refuses to let them go on the train.

Noticing a freight train heading north, Frosty, Karen and Hocus stow aboard in the refrigerated boxcar full of ice cream and frozen Christmas cakes, waving the other children goodbye as the train departs from the station.

But unbeknownst to the gang, Professor Hinkle, having already discovered that he has been outsmarted and double-crossed by Hocus, also sneaks aboard, still vowing to get the hat back.

As the train continued up north, Frosty notices that Karen is getting cold, despite all her winter clothing, and realize that she has to get out as soon as possible.

When the freight train stops to let a passenger train filled with Christmas travelers pass, Frosty, carrying the unconscious Karen, and Hocus jump off the boxcart just before the train starts off again.

Seeing the gang foil him once again, Hinkle jumps off the train too, but tumbles down the hill and crashes into a tree where a pile of snow and ice falls on him and a nearby squirrel laugh at his misfortune.

Now in the woods as Christmas Eve begins to fall, Frosty, Karen and Hocus struggle to get away before Hinkle can catch up to them.

But Karen is near hypothermia, and the woods are bitterly cold.

To make matters worse, when Hocus makes a suggestion of building a fire, Frosty admits that he can't do it, because he is made of snow.

Luckily, the gang find the forest glen where the woodland animals are decorating their Christmas tree to await the arrival of Santa Claus.

On Frosty's request, Hocus convinces the woodland animals and they agree to build Karen a fire.

While Karen is warming herself up, Frosty asks Hocus who might be able to take her home for supper before she freeze, and him to the North Pole before he melt.

First, Hocus suggested the Marines and the President of United States, until suggesting of a help from Santa Claus.

Frosty agrees and promptly takes credits for the idea himself, much to Hocus' annoyance.

He then sends Hocus back to the animals to get Santa, promising him some fresh carrots.

But that night, as Frosty waits patiently for Santa, the now-recovered Professor Hinkle shows up blows out Karen's fireplace. Frosty, who refused to surrender his hat, Karen are forced again to flee, with Karen riding Frosty's back as he slides first-head down the hill.

At the bottom of the hill, Karen and Frosty both discovered "a tiny greenhouse", filled with Christmas poinsettias.

Despite Karen's objections, Frosty steps inside the warm greenhouse with them, suggesting that he can afford to lose a little weight while she warms up.

Unfortunately, an angry and vengeful Hinkle catches up to Frosty and Karen immediately after and locks them in the greenhouse.

As a result, Frosty begins to melt to his death.

Meanwhile, Hocus lead to Santa to the greenhouse where Professor Hinkle quickly hides behind the tree from them, but they find Karen crying over the puddle of Frosty's remains, due to Hinkle's cruel and murderous acts.

Santa explains to Karen that Frosty is made of the magical Christmas snow, and that he can never disappeared completely, only take the form of the spring and summer rains, until next December.

With a gust of cold winds through the open greenhouse door, the puddle that was Frosty was transformed back to a typical snowman form.

After the group adds the magic hat, which then made him come to life for the third time, once more saying, "Happy Birthday!", Karen is finally reunited with Frosty, who is super overjoyed to see his friends again.

Karen, however, explains she never meant to let him down—even when he had sacrifice himself after promising to her.

However, Frosty assures her that she will never ever let him down after his melting sacrifice and, as his love started to grow, he loves Karen—and even his other friends for who she is and who they are on the inside.

But before they leave, Hinkle yet again arrived at the scene and demands the return of his hat.

He relents only when threatened with been removed of Santa's Christmas list for the rest of his life if he put so much as one finger on Frosty's hat.

Trembling in fear and remorse at the ultimatum, Hinkle, reduced in tears, crumbles and begs Santa and Frosty their forgiveness.

Santa state that if Hinkle is truly repentant for his mean attitude and harming Frosty, explaining that he doesn't know anything about how to become a gentleman, which Frosty kindly says that friendship exists everywhere, and Karen, Tom and Jerry then encourage him that friends and charity are much more important than wealth.

Santa then tells Hinkle that if he goes home and writes, "I am really sorry for what I did to Frosty," a hundred zillion times, he may find a gift in his stocking on Christmas morning, which makes a joyous Hinkle bid Frosty, Hocus and Karen farewell and runs home to repeatedly write his apologies, assuming he may get a new hat.

After celebrating, Santa took Karen home and Frosty to the North Pole, but promises that Frosty will be back next winter.

Before the end credits roll, one year later on Christmas Eve, Frosty and the children parade through the town square.

The townspeople also join the parade, including Hocus Pocus and a redeemed Hinkle wearing his new hat.

At the end of the parade, Frosty boards Santa's sleigh and they leave for the North Pole with Frosty altering the last original song lyric, proclaiming, "I'll be back on Christmas Day!"
