1954 short film[edit] Robert Cannon Version
In 1954, the UPA studio brought "Frosty" to life in a three-minute animated short which appears regularly on WGN-TV. This production included a bouncy, jazzy a cappella version of the song and a limited animation style reminiscent of UPA's Gerald McBoing-Boing. The short, filmed entirely in black-and-white, has been a perennial WGN-TV Christmas classic, and was broadcast on December 24 and 25, 1955, and every year since, as part of a WGN-TV children's programming retrospective, along with their two other short Christmas classics, "Suzy Snowflake" and "Hardrock, Coco and Joe." The short had previously been telecast annually on WGN's The Bozo Show, along with its two other companion cartoons. The three cartoons are also a tradition on WJAC-TV in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, which not only broadcasts the cartoons on their station, but also makes them available on their website.

Paul Frees and June Foray both also voice characters including Karen and Santa Claus in this animated special produced and directed by by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Rankin_Jr. Arthur Rankin Jr. ] and Jules Bass.[5] This was a story based on the discovery of Frosty the Snowman.

CBS' own spiritual sequel, Frosty Returns, was broadcast in 1992.
