Tom and Jerry Meet Frosty the Snowman

Tom and Jerry Meet Frosty the Snowman is an upcoming Christmas direct-to-video animated feature in the Tom and Jerry series, produced by Warner Bros. Animation for Turner Entertainment and distributed by Warner Home Video. Starring two of the most popular cartoon characters from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Hanna-Barbera, Tom Cat and Jerry Mouse, it is an crossover adaptation of Rankin/Bass' Productions' original hand-drawn animated Christmas television special, Frosty the Snowman (1969), which is itself based on the 1950 song by Steve Nelson and Jack Rollins. Original planned for a 2017 release on DVD, Blu-Ray and Digital, the film will be pushed back to 2019, hoping to coincide with the 50th anniversary of a Rankin/Bass holiday classic. This is will also be a dedication to the memory of June Foray, the original voice of the character Karen. It will be followed by a soon-to-be-planned sequel, Tom and Jerry: Frosty's Winter Wonderland.

Summary
A discarded silk top hat becomes the focus of a struggle between a washed-up stage magician by the name of Professor Hinkle and a group of schoolchildren after it magically brings Frosty the Snowman to life. Realizing that newly-living Frosty will melt in spring unless he takes refuge in a colder climate, Frosty and a young girl named Karen, whom he befriends, set off on a search for the North Pole. Little do they know that the magician is following them, and he wants his hat back. Will Tom and Jerry, having stowed away to town inside the same magic hat, defend their new friends by holding off Hinkle until Santa Claus and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer arrive to their aid? Find out as Tom and Jerry stars in their newest Christmas adventure, teaming up with Frosty the Snowman.

Plot
On Christmas Eve, the teacher hires Professor Hinkle, an inept magician, to perform for the children's Christmas party. After becoming uninterested in his tricks, the children go outside to play in the snow where they build a snowman with a corncob pipe, a red button nose, two coal eyes and a broomstick. It was then, Tom and Jerry came by to greet the children and they decide to befriend them. After the children's suggested names for the snowman including Harold, Bruce, Christopher Columbus and "Oatmeal", Karen names him Frosty. Just then, Professor Hinkle's rabbit, Hocus Pocus, and his mouse assistant, Tuffy, went outside with Hinkle's silk hat over him. By the time Hinkle also comes out and grabs Hocus and Tuffy, the wind then blows the hat until Karen catches it and quickly places it onto Frosty's head. And suddenly, to Tom, Jerry, Tuffy, Hocus Pocus, the children and Hinkle's surprise, Frosty transforms into a living snowman with an aura of sparkle, saying, "Happy Birthday!" The children and animals becomes delighted as they realize it was the magic of the hat that cause Frosty to come to life. But after he also finds out that the hat is magic, Professor Hinkle takes back the hat when another wind blows it off Frosty's head, changing the snowman back to his lifeless form. The ridiculous magician vows to use the hat to become a millionaire, and when the children, Tuffy, Tom and Jerry state their objections, he mockingly tells them that when they grow up, they'll learn that snowmen can't come to life and leaves.

However, Hocus and Tuffy steals back the hat from Hinkle by switching it with the pine-wrath and escapes their greedy master, immediately returning back to the children, Tom, Jerry and the lifeless Frosty. Thanks to Hocus and Tuffy, Karen puts the hat back on Frosty's head, and for the second time, the snowman is brought to life by its magical power. However, as the children, Tom, Jerry, Tuffy and Hocus had fun with their friend after observing him learn to speak more words, move his body, juggle snowballs, count numbers and express emotions like being ticklish, Frosty enters the early stages of sweating. Noticing a thermometer on the school's brick wall, he worries that when the temperature rises, he will melt. On Karen's suggestions to find some place where he'd never melt, Frosty names only one place: the North Pole. The children, Tom, Jerry, Tuffy and Hocus decide to take him to the North Pole, even taking him downtown to the railroad station where he can ride on the train. They parade through town, shocking other townspeople including the traffic cop who then accidentally swallows his whistle after excusing Frosty for being alive and naive. When the group arrives at the railroad station, however, they realize they have no money to buy train tickets as the ticket man and his assistant (Spike and Tyke) refuses to let them go on the train. So Frosty, Karen, Tom, Jerry, Tuffy and Hocus hitch a ride on a train headed north in a refrigerator car full of ice cream and frozen Christmas cakes. However, as the train departs from the station, Professor Hinkle also sneaks aboard, still vowing to get the hat back.

As the train continued up north, Tom, Jerry, Tuffy and Frosty notice that Karen is getting freezing cold, despite all her winter clothing, so they all jump off the boxcart, leaving Hinkle behind once again. Hinkle, seeing them escape, jumps off the train too, but falls down of the mountain (as Tom, Jerry, Tuffy, Hocus and Frosty, carrying unconscious Karen, saw the whole ancient) and crashes into a tree where a pile of snow and ice falls on him. At Frosty's daring request, Tuffy and Hocus  convince some woodland animals, that they're preparing for Christmas, to help build a fireplace for Karen, Tom and Jerry. Fearing that Karen still cannot for long in the cold weather (even with Tom &Jerry), Frosty ask Tuffy and Hocus who might be able to help them. First, Hocus suggested (by  pantomiming) the President of United States and United States Marines before Tuffy suggesting Santa Claus. Frosty agrees, and  promptly take credits for the idea himself (much to Hocus' annoyance except for Tuffy). Tuffy and Hocus hop to get Santa, but Hinkle confronts Frosty, Tom, Jerry and Karen once more and blows out Karen's fireplace. Frosty, who refused, Tom, Jerry and Karen are forced again to flee, this time with Tom, Jerry and Karen riding Frosty's back as he slides first-head down the hill. At the bottom of the slope, Tom, Jerry, Karen and Frosty discovered a greenhouse, filled with Christmas  poinsettias. Despite Karen's objections, Frosty steps inside the warm greenhouse with her, along with Tom and Jerry, suggesting that he can afford to lose a little weight while she, Tom and Jerry warm up. Unfortunately, Hinkle catches up to them immediately after and locks them in the greenhouse.

Tuffy and Hocus brings Santa and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer to the greenhouse only to see Karen in tears, Tom and Jerry trying to soothe her and Frosty melted on the floor due to Hinkle's cruel act. Santa explains to Karen, Tom and Jerry that Frosty is made of Christmas snow, and that he can never disappeared completely, only take the form of the summer rain,  until next December. With a gust of cold winds through the open door of the greenhouse, volunteered by Tom and Jerry, the puddle that was Frosty was transformed back to a typical snowman form. After bringing Frosty back to life once again and before they leave, Hinkle again arrived at the scene and demands the return of his hat. He relents only when threatened with been removed of Santa's Christmas list for the rest of his life if he put so much as one finger on Frosty's hat. Tuffy and Santa states that if Hinkle (secretly felt jealous of Frosty) is truly repentant for his mean attitude and harming Frosty, and if he goes home and writes, "I am really sorry for what I did to Frosty," a hundred zillion times, he may find a gift in his stocking on Christmas morning, which makes Hinkle bid Frosty, Tom, Jerry, Tuffy and Karen farewell and runs home to repeatedly write his apologies, assuming he may get a new hat. After celebrating, Santa took Tom, Jerry and Karen home and Frosty to the North Pole, but promises that Frosty will be back next winter.

I can count to 10! 1,2,3,4,5,9,6,8...umm..well I can count to 5. *laughter* What do you know? I'm even ticklish. In fact, I'm all living! I am alive! What a neat thing to happen to be a nice guy like.... Hey, who were you, guys?"

Tom: "Umm...us?"

Frosty: "Yeah, I'm talking to you. Who are you?"

Jerry: "Well...we wanted to tell who we are, but..."

Tuffy: "Excuse me, Mr. Frosty. Allow me to introduce to them and myself. As you may know, my name is Tuffy, Hocus' mouse assistant. And these are my other friends of mine: Tom Cat, you can call him Thomas if you like, and also...Hey, where did Jerry go?"

Frosty: "No! *laughter* Really, I'm being tickled down...by a brown mouse! *laughter*"

Jerry: "Like...as always?"

Frosty: "Always. Now, who wants to play with me in the snow?"

(All cheering & laughing)

Blonde-haired Boy: "Come on!"

The Narrator (singing): "There's must be some magic in that old silk hat they found. For when it's placed on his head, he begin to dance around. Frosty the Snowman, was alive as he could be. And the children say that he can laugh and play just ththe same as you and me."

Tom: "Sounds good to me. Doesn't seems to be wrong with this place."

Frosty: "Uh oh!"

Tuffy: "Is there something wrong, Mr. Frosty?"

Karen: "Yeah, what's the matter?"

Frosty: "Whew! However, I think I might be melting. Karen, is there a  thermometer around here?"

Tom: "umm...You mean that thermometer right over there on the wall? Why did you ask?"

Frosty: "Tom, I was afraid of that. And the thermometer is getting all red. To tell you the truth, I hate red thermometers."

Jerry: "Why not, Frosty?"

Karen: "Yeah, why?"

Frosty: "Well...you might say that. Because when the thermometer gets all reddish, the temperature goes up. And when the temperature climbs up, I start to melt. And if I started to melt, I'll get all wishy-washy into a puddle."

Karen: "Then, you gotta go someplace where you will never melt."

Tom: "I was thinking of taking him to....the North Pole?"

Orange-haired Boy: "Thomas, that's a great place for Frosty be safe at!"

Brown-Haired Boy: "We can take him downtown to the railroad station. And put him on a train!"

Karen: "That's a great trip idea, Thomas. *kisses Tom Cat*"
