December 2 - Frosty the Snowman and Hoops and Yoyo Ruin Christmas

Classic vs contemporary

I've always loved the Frosty special and I just recently learned that it was intentionally produced in 2d hand drawn style so that it would look like a Christmas Card rather than the animagic style so closely associated with RankinBass.

Hoops and Yoyo was actually a fairly nice surprise. If you can stand some of the commentary from the main characters (which may be great in a 30 second audio card from Hallmark, but is a little much in a 22 minute special) you will find a cute story. I'm not sure it will rise to the classic level, but it was a fun special to watch.
