It’s a myth that each one of the cartoons from the 80s and 90s were immediate first class material. The 80s and 90s had their share of horrible cartoons with the likes of the Zelda cartoon and that god awful pilot for Bubsy. But of course those are just two cartoons.

Additionally during the early 1990s, the second coming of Woodstock unleashed a bombardment of preachy bullshit with the likes of Captain N: The Game Master, Jetsons: The Movie, Captain Planet, and Cartoon All Stars to the Rescue.

This preachiness also affected one Christmas cartoon known as Frosty Returns, heavily disliked for bad animation and getting all Earth Day with viewers. 30+ years later, this critically panned cartoon has gotten more animosity with age.

During a practice for a magic act, Holly runs into Frosty when trying to reclaim her hat and they get along well.

Unfortunately though, Frosty’s not exactly welcome to Beansboro when Mr. Twitchell and the snow hating terrorists spray the town with a snow removal spray named Summer Wheeze. In light of this, Mr. Twitchell hopes to be crowned at Beansboro’s annual winter carnival.

The art style looks similar to Garfield and Friends or the old Peanuts cartoons.

Heavily advertised by Family Home Entertainment in the 1990s.

Often paired with Frosty the Snowman (1969).

This is a sequel to Frosty’s Winter Wonderland (not sure if it also follows Rudolph and Frosty’s Christmas in July) as evident by Frosty being able to survive without having to wear a magical hat.

Andrea Martin, voice of Mrs. Carbuncle, also voiced Mrs. Fowl in Jimmy Neutron. Mrs. Carbuncle looks somewhat like Mrs. Fowl but her voice here is quite different though.

Since Jackie Vernon (voice of Frosty before John Goodman) died, this probably shouldn’t have been made. Just saying.

I remember the promotion for this “classic” looking good. Of course it wasn’t. Assholes.

This seems to be quite big on environmentalism. You know, because a lot of people people loved Captain Planet (don’t even get me started on the puppy mill episode; that one shouldn’t have even been made!).

“Hardly any snow left on the ground?” I think Holly was tripping acid in this.

Liked it as a little kid but as time went I could tell this had so many issues. It’s like how some people really liked Quest for Camelot (such as the disgraceful Mr. Enter) when they were 5 years old but nearly 30 years later it’s unwatchable. Most likely my enjoyment out of this as a child was because I was one hell of a environmentalist but as an adult I can certainly find better cartoons or the like that do a better job of sending environmental messages (not captain planet!).
