Got up this morning and Ephraim wanted to watch something, so I took the chance to introduce him to this. I remember it from my own childhood, but... well... I guess some things age really well and some age just okay. There are some cute little moments for the adults, but for some reason I just remember this seeming like a much more grand adventure. Little things that drove me nuts were the inconsistency of what Frosty knew about and didn't. He had no clue about traffic lights, etc... but he seems to be well aware that there's such a thing as a President of the United States. I realize this is just a 'silly little kids film' but come on, have some consistency of character.
Ephraim seemed to like it, so by children's standards I think it still holds up just fine. Not sure I ever need to revisit it again myself though. If you've never seen it... I don't know... your call :)
The DVD we have features a sequel with the voice talents of John Goodman and Elisabeth Moss (way before Mad Men) so I might watch that just based on them being in it.
