Narrator: I suppose it all started with the snow. You see, it's a very special kind of snow. A snow to make the happy happier and the giddy even giddier. A snow to make a homecoming homier and natural enemies friends, naturally. For it was the first snow of the season. And as any child can tell you, there's a certain magic to the very first snow... zellikle Noel arifesinde yayorsa. especially when it falls on the day before Christmas. For when the first snow is also a Christmas snow, well, something wonderful is bound to happen!
[Laughing] [Ruler tapping]
Teacher: Children, back to your seats. The snow can wait. Now, now. I've hired Professor Hinkle, the magician, to entertain at today's class Christmas party, so, pay attention!
Narrator: Now, Professor Hinkle was just about the worst magician in the world.
Professor Hinkle: And so, I put the magic eggs into my hat. Abracadabra, to coin a phrase... [Laugh] And voila, the eggs have turned into... Messy, messy, messy. [Children groan] Where is that rabbit? Hocus Pocus! Where are you? Bah, the only thing this hat's good for is the trash can!
[Children laugh] [Bell rings]
[Children cheer]
Professor Hinkle: You dessert Hinkle the- OUCH! For some stupid- OW! Frozen water?!
Teacher: Deary me, Mr. Hinkle, sir. Are you quite alright?
Professor Hinkle: (brushing off himself) I would be if I could get my single hand on my hat. (Hocus hops pass him, still carrying Hinkle's hat) There it is! (rushes out from the classroom for a chase) Stop right there!
Children: Hey, look at the snow! It's cold and snowy! It's the best kind of snow! We're building a snowman, Karen. You make the head!
Karen: The head is the most difficult part, ask anyone! What will we call him? Should we call him Harold?
Classmate 1: Uh, Bweoorf.
Classmate 2: Nah.
Classmate 3: Christopher Columbus? Oh, no.
Classmate 4: Oatmeal?
Children: Oatmeal?
Karen: How about... Frosty?
Classmate 1: Frosty?
Classmate 2: Yeah! Frosty it is. Frosty the snowman!
[Cheers] [Frosty the snowman, what a happy jolly soul. With a corn cob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made out of coal.] Frosty the snow-
Professor Hinkle: Come back here, you!
Frosty: Happy birthday!
Karen: That hat brought Frosty to life. It must be magic.
Professor Hinkle: Magic? My hat, magic?
Karen: Just look.
Professor Hinkle: If that hat is magic, I want it back.
Karen: But it's not yours anymore! You threw it away!
Professor Hinkle: Don't you talk back to your elders, you naughty naughty little girl. And you, better stay in there, or there will be no carrots for Christmas.
Boy: But you can't take that hat back. It brought Frosty to life.
Karen: You saw it happen!
Professor Hinkle: I saw nothing of the kind.
[Hocus Pocus Smacks His Lips]
Professor Hinkle: Quiet! I can't lose that hat if it's really got magic now! It'll make me a billionaire magician!
Karen: But we saw Frosty come to life, didn't we?
Classmate 3: Uh-huh, we sure did.
Professor Hinkle: You silly children believe everything you see. When you're grown up, you'll realize that snowman can't come to life.
Karen: But, we...
Professor Hinkle: Silly, silly, silly!
Classmate 5: Aw, Frosty, we don't care what grown-ups say. We know you did come to life.
Karen: We know, Frosty. We just know.
[Hocus Pocus whistles]
Karen: Look! The hat's back. Let's see if it will make Frosty alive again.
Frosty: Happy birthday! Hey, I said my first words... But snowmen can't talk. All right, come on now, what's the joke? Could, could I really be alive? I mean, I can make words, I can move. I can juggle, I can sweep, I can count to ten. One, two, three, four, five, nine, six, eight... Well, I can count to five. [laughing] What do you know? I'm even ticklish. In fact, I'm all living. I am alive! What a neat thing to happen to a nice guy like me. [Children cheer]
Karen: What's the matter, Frosty?
Frosty: Whew, is there a thermometer around here?
Karen: Over there on the wall, why?
Frosty: Oh, I was afraid of that. The thermometer is getting red. I hate red thermometers.
Karen: Why, Frosty?
Frosty: Because when the thermometer gets all reddish, the temperature goes up. And when the temperature goes up, I start to melt. And when I start to melt...I get all wishy washy!
Karen: Then you've gotta go some place where you'll never melt.
Frosty: The only place I'd never melt is the North Pole.
Karen: Then we've got to get you there!
Classmate 2: Yeah, we'll take you downtown to the railroad station and put you on a train.
Frosty: Great, I always wanted to see the town, Let's make a party out of it! Let's have a parade!
[Children Cheering]
Frosty: What's a traffic light?
Traffic Cop: Up there on the lamp post!
Frosty: What's a lamp post?
Traffic Cop: Oh, you want a ticket wise guy?
Frosty: I'd love one, to the north pole, please!
Traffic Cop: Huh?
Karen: You've got to excuse him, sir. You see, he just came to life and he doesn't know much about such things.
Traffic Cop: Oh, well, okay, if he just came to life. [Cop blows whistle] Move along! That silly snowman. Once they come to life they don't know nothing. Come to life? [Soft whistling]
[Ticket man snoring]
Karen: We'd like a ticket to the north pole please.
Ticket Man: Hmm... What? Yes. The north pole? Oh, yes ma'am. [Bonk, Ping, Tinkle, Scrabble, Doink] Route you by the way of Saskatchewan, Hudson Bay, Nome, Alaska, the Klondike, and Aurora Borealis! Gotta make a change at Nanuk of the Northville. That'll be $3,000 and four cents, including tax.
Karen: Oh, but we don't have any money.
Ticket Man: No money!? No money, no ticket!
Frosty: Now I'll never get to the north pole.
Karen: Oh, Frosty, you just can't melt!
Frosty: Oh, Karen, don't you get all slushy too.
[Hocus Pocus Squeaky Hopping And Smacking His Lips]
Karen: What is it, Hocus? Out the window? A refrigerated boxcar on a train headed north. You'll be safe there, Frosty! Come on!
Classmate 2: It's full of ice cream and frozen Christmas cakes.
Frosty: What a neat way to travel!
[Whistle blows]
Karen: Hurry up, Frosty, the train is pulling out!
Frosty: Are you coming to the north pole, too?
Karen: I'm sure my mom won't mind, as long as I'm home in time for supper.
[Whistle blows]
[Karen's Teeth Chattering]
[Karen Sneezes]
Frosty: Are you cold, Karen? Now that's a silly question. You wouldn't be sneezing if you weren't cold.
Karen: [Shivering] Well... just... just a lit... a little. [Sneezes]
[Laughing] [Ruler tapping]

Karen: We know, Frosty. We just know.
- Frosty the snowman, was a jolly happy soul. With a corn cob pipe and a button nose, and two eyes made out of coal.
- Frosty the snowman is a fairy tale they say. He was made of snow but the children know how he came to life one day.
[Hocus Pocus whistles]
Karen: Look! The hat's back. Let's see if it will make Frosty alive again.
Frosty: Happy birthday! Hey, I said my first words... But snowmen can't talk. All right, come on now, what's the joke? Could, could I really be alive? I mean, I can make words, I can move.

I am alive! What a neat thing to happen to a nice guy like me. [Children cheer]
- There must have been some magic in that old silk hat they found.
- For when they placed it on his head he began to dance around.
- Frosty the snowman was alive as he could be and the children say he could laugh and play just the same as you and me.
Karen: What's the matter, Frosty?
Frosty: Whew, is there a thermometer around here?
Karen: Over there on the wall, why?
Frosty: Oh, I was afraid of that. The thermometer is getting red. I hate red thermometers.

- Frosty the snowman knew the sun was hot that day, so he said let's run and we'll have some fun now before I melt away.
- Down to the village with a broomstick in his hand, running here and there all around the square, saying catch me if you can.
- He led them down the streets of town right to the traffic cop, and he only paused a moment when he heard him holler stop. [Cop blows whistle]
Frosty: What's a traffic light?
Traffic Cop: Up there on the lamp post!
Frosty: What's a lamp post?
Traffic Cop: Oh, you want a ticket wise guy?

[Whistle blows]
- Frosty the snowman had to hurry on his way, but he waved goodbye saying don't cry. I'll be back again some day.
- Professor Hinkle: I must get that hat back. Think, nasty, think, nasty, think nasty. [Evil laughter].
- He'll be back again some day.
[Karen's Teeth Chattering]
[Karen Sneezes]
Frosty: Are you cold, Karen? Now that's a silly question. You wouldn't be sneezing if you weren't cold.
