* IdiotPlot: Most of the people in "Frosty Returns" are complete idiots. Mr. Twitchell for thinking the title of King of the Winter Carnival gives him actual control over the people, the citizens of Beansboro for using the Summer Wheeze on the on the sidewalk, roads, and grass (there's nothing wrong with the first two, but using it on the grass is wasteful and pointless), and the kids for thinking if there was no more snow they'd get a 10-month summer break (which if you included weekends would be only about 60 days of school though most schools tend to go for around 180)

* InformedWrongness: From "Frosty Returns": because it's a spray that destroys snow in a kid's movie about a sentient snowman, we're supposed to be horrified by Summer Wheeze and see it getting discontinued at the end as a victory. While the villain's plan to use it to get rid of ALL the snow was indeed stupid, if it had been used responsibly simply to clear the snow from the streets and side walks, then the product would actually have been a great boon to society. Seriously, can you imagine all the time and effort that would be spared each winter if you could just spray away the snow in a matter of minutes as opposed to hours of tedious shoveling? Aging people (like that teacher in the movie) can even die of heart attacks if they exert to much effort shoveling. So the only evil was in how the product was used, not in the product itself.

** Part of the reason the GreenAesop fails is that it the ecological implications of a world without winter are only briefly touched on. For the most part, the message is that we need to have snow because snow is fun and pretty.

There\'s no good reason to include a link back to the main page. There already is such a link at the top. Also, double curly braces are only necessary if the trope or work name has one word, and the moments aren\'t called \"crowning\" anymore.

* CrowningMomentOfAwesome: So after Santa rebuilt Frosty and was about to put the hat on, Hinkle comes to grab it again. How does Santa put an end to it? By threatening to never give him anymore presents for the rest of his life. It instantly shuts him up.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: "Stay in here much longer, and I'll really make a splash in the world." Funny when Frosty said it upon entering the greenhouse, not so much not two minutes later; perhaps even a record-setter as far as these go.

** Possibly even earlier when he douses Karen's campfire, which was the only thing between her and freezing to death. It's especially bad because he does so ''[[ForTheEvulz for no reason whatsoever]]''. At least killing Frosty helped him achieve his goal of getting the hat back, but endangering the little girl achieves nothing.

** The worst part about Hinkle is, he wants the hat back [[MoneyDear solely because of greed]], claiming he'd be "a billionaire magician" if he had it. That's kind of low.
