12 Days of Christmas Specials - #7: Frosty the Snowman

I know a lot of children's entertainment is supposed to be kinda dumb, but Frosty the Snowman is seriously retarded. It's a shame too, Frosty was made by Rankin/Bass, the same folks who made the Rudolph special. Only this time around, the special was made with traditional cel animation instead of stop motion animation. It's not even particularly good cel animation either. The voice dubbing is terrible as well, I've seen Godzilla movies with better dubbing. And why the hell does Frosty say "Happy Birthday!" whenever someone puts the magic hat on his head?

I'm pretty sure Frosty's voice is done by the same guy who voices Patrick on Spongebob Squarepants.

The guy who did Frosty's voice was Jackie Vernon, he died in 1987. The guy who does Patrick's voice is Bill Fagerbakke, who is very much alive and who was most famously known for playing, at least pre-Spongebob, the dopey Dauber character on Coach.
