Frosty the Snowman Becomes "The Frostinator"

How do you keep a Christmas classic like Frosty the Snowman fresh after four decades? Well, if you're CBS, you create a jokey promotional video painting the good-natured snowman as a crotchety old man sick of children, global warming, and villains who wish for his untimely demise. This Frosty isn't into singing cute songs in the town square; instead, he's "mad as hell, and he's not gonna take it anymore."

"The Frostinator" is a pretty funny little promo for the special, which airs tonight at 8 EST and PST followed by Frosty Returns. My favorite part: the roly-poly Frosty growling "Not this time, human scum!" I only wish CBS had gone a little further; I would have loved to see him say "It's Frosty, b*tch!" Alas, that would probably be messing with a classic a bit too much. To watch the clip, just read more.
