History Characters / FrostyTheSnowman

* NiceHat: Her black magician's hat, which she lets Frosty wear for most of the show.

* NiceHat: "That old silk hat", which brought him to life.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: After having spent most of the film trying so hard to get Frosty's hat back, only for Santa to have to threaten to never bring him any more Christmas presents to get him to back off, Hinkle is able to get a new hat - albeit after he writes "I am very sorry for what I did to Frosty" one hundred zillion times as proof of his repentance. He's seen happily marching along with the rest of the town when Frosty joins them in the Christmas parade.

* AdultFear: A little girl getting lost in the woods and almost freezing to death? Take out the talking snowman helping her, and you would have any parent's worst nightmare.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Similar to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, while Frosty's original design wasn't ugly. He originally wore boots, gloves, and looked like a generic snowman alongside lacking pupils. The Rankin/Bass adaptation gave him a much friendlier and cuter design which extends to ''WesternAnimation/FrostyReturns'' by Creator/BillMelendez.

* VerbalTic: He has a tendency to repeat single words or phrases in groups of [[RuleOfThree threes]], or occasionally twos. Such phrases include, "messy, messy, messy," [[UniformityException "naughty, naughty,"]] "silly, silly, silly," "think nasty, think nasty, think nasty," and, "busy, busy busy."

-->'''Santa Claus''': Now, you go home and [[WritingLines write "I'm very sorry for what I did to Frosty" one hundred zillion times]]. And maybe--just maybe, mind you--you'll find something in your stocking tomorrow morning.

* EarnYourHappyEnding: After having spent most of the film trying so hard to get Frosty's hat back, only for Santa to have to threaten to never bring him any more Christmas presents to get him to back off, Hinkle is able to get a new hat - albeit after he writes "I'm very sorry for what I did to Frosty" 100 million times as proof of his repentance. He's seen happily marching along with the rest of the town when Frosty joins them in the Christmas parade.
* EasilyForgiven: {{Downplayed}}, as he went through plenty of injury, and had to write "I'm very sorry for what I did to Frosty" one hundred zillion times to prove his repentance, but Frosty doesn't hold anything against him, nor does Karen for him nearly freezing her to death or making her watch her best friend melt before her eyes.

-->'''Santa Claus''': "Too late? [[SubvertedTrope Why, nonsense!]]"

->'''Voiced by:''' Paul Frees (orignal special), Creator/MickeyRooney ''(Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas in July)''

->'''Voiced by:''' Paul Frees

->'''Voiced by:''' Paul Frees

-->'''Santa Claus''': Now, you go home and [[WritingLines write "I'm very sorry for what I did to Frosty" one hundred zillion times]]. And maybe--just maybe mind you--you'll find something in your stocking tomorrow morning.

-->'''Hinkle''': You mean...no more trick cards, or magic balls, or--

-->'''Hinkle''': Oh, that's not fair! I mean, we evil magicians have to make a living too.
-->'''Santa Claus''': You go home and [[WritingLines write "I'm very sorry for what I did to Frosty" one hundred zillion times]]. And maybe--just maybe mind you--you'll find something in your stocking tomorrow morning.

* UnusualEuphemism: According to him in ''Frosty Returns'' the definitions of upset are, "waking up and finding out somebody forgot to give you a belly button," and, "finding out someone stole your nose to play foosball."

The narrator of ''Frosty Returns''.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Frosty isn't happy, you know something's wrong. In ''Winter Wonderland'', he's depressed due to being so lonely, even his friends {{Lampshade}} how miserable he sounds. Then, in ''Legend'', he looks ''pissed'' when he glances at Pankley for [[spoiler: locking him up for God knows how long]], whereas he never held animosity towards the other bad guys, even a monster like Winterbolt.

The leader of a group of schoolchildren who helps Frosty get to the North Pole.

* RascallyRabbit: When it comes to being Professor Hinkle's assistant, he's not all that helpful. However:

-->'''Hinkle''': Oh, that's not fair! I mean, we evil magicians have to make a living too, ya know.
-->'''Santa Claus''': Tell you what. You go home and [[WritingLines write "I'm very sorry for what I did to Frosty" one hundred zillion times]]. And maybe--just maybe mind you--you'll find something in your stocking tomorrow.

* BigFun: Big and plump, and really funny.

* CatchPhrase: "Happy birthday!" Said every time he comes to life, for no apparent reason.

* {{Teleportation}}: Can teleport in and out of blizzards.

Helps Karen and Hocus get Frosty to the North Pole.

%%* GoodParents: To Milly and Chilly
%%* HappilyMarried: To Crystal.

* AnIcePerson: ''The Legend of Frosty the Snowman'' shows he can make things out of snow and ice, such as skates and a skating pond. He can also shape things out of snow.
* IconicOutfit: His hat, of course.

* InterspeciesFriendship: He's a living snowman who's friends with several humans and a red-nosed reindeer.

* LosingYourHead: ''The Legend of Frosty the Snowman'' has him literally taking his head off a few times.

* HappilyMarried: To Frosty.
* PinkMeansFeminine: Wears a pink apron.

* {{Expy}}: Of Karen from the original special.

* AgentScully: In the original special, he feigns this to the children, wanting them to no longer bother with thoughts about Frosty coming to life so he can take the magic hat for himself. In WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfFrostyTheSnowman, he genuinely believes this, as he tells his son that magic doesn't actually exist when he tries to tell his father about Frosty's existence.

* HateSink: Unlike with Hinkle, Jack Frost, or Mr. Twitchell, all of whom were silly villains who were shown to at least be redeemable, Pankley has no redeeming qualities whatsoever. He acts with such strict demeanor that he can't stand anyone breaking even the slightest of rules, schemes to take the position of his "friend" as Mayor, and essentially tricks poor Walter into murdering Frosty so he can finally be rid of the snowman once and for all (not to mention that [[spoiler: he was the one who initially sealed Frosty up all those years ago, simply out of jealousy.]]) He's not as bad as, say, Winterbolt, but he's definitely the worst of Frosty's villains.

* LawfulStupid: Not to a lethal extent, but his desire to ensure that the rules are followed down to the letter have turned Evergreen into a very beautiful, but rather dull and unexciting, place to live.

* GoodParents: To Milly and Chilly
* HappilyMarried: To Crystal.

** RighteousRabbit: Once Frosty comes to life, Hocus Pocus dedicates his life towards helping the snowman get home, ensuring his former master doesn't steal the hat.

* EarlyBirdCameo: In ''WesternAnimation/FrostysWinderWonderland'' during the musical number "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" as Frosty and Crystal are imagining life as a newlywed couple moments before getting married. Their snowchildren, Milly and Chilly make a brief appearance before making their proper debut in the 1979 crossover movie ''WesternAnimation/RudolphAndFrostysChristmasInJuly''.

* TheCameo: Appears in WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfFrostyTheSnowman in a flashback sequence, showing him once more as the previous owner of Frosty's hat.

* RollerbladeGood: She is good at speedskating. This fits her tomboyish personality.
