On Saturday night, the Frosty the Snowman sequel, Frosty Returns aired on CBS, and viewers of the annual Christmas broadcast were not exactly impressed with the festive flick. The 1992 animated holiday movie starring the voices of Jonathan Winters as the narrator, John Goodman as Frosty, and a young Elisabeth Moss as Holly is among a series of specials in the Rankin/Bass Animated Entertainment collection, and featuring the music by Mark Mothersbaugh. Still, it hasn't exactly held its own over the years.

Receiving an 18% audience rating via Rotten Tomatoes, Frosty Returns has been said to not only sacrifice the original film's "warmth and innocence" but has a smart-alec kind of tone that borders "preachiness" alongside "forgettable music, frequently sung off-key." While the reviews are pretty harsh, the talk on social media was even more critical. Scroll through to see how viewers of the CBS special responded Saturday night, and let us know what you think in the comments below.
