Idea: Reimagined live-action/CG Rankin Bass classic with the same Frosty design from Frosty’s Winter Wonderland and some characters from the Rankin Bass Christmas specials. The film is based on the song "Frosty the Snowman" and is a remake of the Rankin/Bass animated television special. | PLOT: An unexpected miracle has happened when a ghost is being inside Professor Hinkle’s magician hat and brought Frosty to life. And seeing as how the Professor’s son, Jonathan, summoned a ghost inside the hat by mistake, he and his father must do anything to destroy that hat for good! But after noticing the high hot temperature and fearing that he would melt, Frosty, along with a young girl named Karen and a rabbit named Hocus Pocus, must go to the North Pole to be safe from melting.
