• Reviews

  "As a huge fan of this underrated actress, I'm not sure I want a subdued Shelley Winters, but she does manage a girlish, sweet delivery that fits the character. The story is logically set out, and it moves swiftly from song to song, while the animation is wonderfully evocative of that later Rankin/Bass house style."DVD Talk: Frosty's Winter Wonderland Review

  "Like that fourth cookie from the holiday dessert table, this sequel may serve only as seasonal excess, but that's not always such a bad thing. This sequel may lack a real plot, but it also forgoes the sadness that made the first movie a bit heavy for younger kids.Common Sense Media: Frosty's Winter Wonderland Review
