Funny that the carrot disappeared off his nose when he transformed. Wonder where it went...
So did the twig arm.
'My man was like a baby arm holding onto an apple. I mean my man was like "blayp!"'
They didn't give him pants and they act like he's the freak. 🤦♂️
he didn't have legs, Kola!
I heard the voice of Chef from South Park.
I can't believe they still made Hot Frosty after this comic came out. At all, really. Even kept the obviously working title.
Edit: Never seen the movie, just the Pitch Meeting video
Thicc snowman. They didnt even ask him anything, they just destroyed his existence. Fuckin murderers.
Nudity - bad. Murdering an intelligent being - no biggie.
He does not suffer. He simply ceases to be.
An enviable fate.
I hate the cultural cliche where everyone is expected to act like male nudity is horrifying and dangerous.
I think it's pretty weird in the situation where you're standing in front of a couple of children.
Only because you're from a culture that thinks it's weird. Pretty common in parts of Europe and elsewhere.
I'm from the UK. I grew up with communal changing rooms and showers at school, but the P.E. teacher would still be in trouble if he got naked with us.
Yes, but that is because there is a power imbalance at play here. It makes sence to avoid such situations to prevent sexual violence in institutions.
You can normalise beeing naked without shame beeing involved and keep children safe in a situation that could be potentialy abused. In my opinion that's not mutually exclusive.
Ironically not making parts of our body a taboo best not even to talk about is what helps children speak out if they have been molestered. Same with knowing what is appropriate and what not. Sex-Ed is just so important to prevent sexual violence against children. Which is, just to make the clear, still not their responsibility. It's just something that helps a lot, you still need systems of protection in institutions.
/rant I guess.
What does that even mean?
Put the hat on other parts of his body. Problem solved.
Now you've got me thinking about re-watching the old Rankin & Bass movie to see if Frosty could canonically take his hat off and hold it in his hand without becoming inanimate. WTF is wrong with me.
and the answer is?..
Okay, so in Frosty The Snowman (1969) the answer is inconclusive -- the hat is either always on his head or out of his possession entirely.
But in Frosty's Winter Wonderland (1976), the kids make him a snow-wife and she comes alive through 'the power of love' when he hands her a bouquet of flowers he made out of snow. A short while later, he gets attacked and his hat gets blown off, but instead of getting the hat back his snow-wife makes a flower for him, sticks it in his buttonhole, and brings him back to life with 'the power of love' too. So, yeah: two sentient snowpeople, both hatless.
spoiler
(At least briefly: he almost immediately gets the hat back anyway.)
Also: they ask the parson to officiate their wedding. He's too racist against snow-people to be willing to do it himself, but, inexplicably, he's happy to help make a snow-parson to officiate instead. They bring that one to life by giving him a Bible. So at that point the whole thing's off the rails and who knows what the Hell the rules are. Frankly, I'm not sure that sequel should count.
"We're all born naked, friend."
This is just like the movie, "hot frosty"
Iced buns
I wtach too much DougDoug.
When I read"Magic Hat" my mind goes straight to this:
So that's where Magic Mike's hat ended up.
