Last night we caught FROSTY THE SNOWMAN on TV. I'm not sure what it was with Rankin Bass picking unusual looking male performers as narrators: Fred Astaire for SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN, and Jimmy Durante for FROSTY. But irregardless, it works. Durante has a distinguishable voice as well as nose, and his rendition of the song is very good. My husband was surprised our daughter knew Durante, but he forgot that Durante is featured in a favorite I LOVE LUCY episode, and we have all the I LOVE LUCY DVDs and she's got them memorized.
I always liked FROSTY because of the little girl Karen. She's feisty and empathetic, and we share a name.
Enjoy:

A great show - Jimmy Durante always had a unique style about him...
We were watching that last night, too--though I will admit that I cringed every time Frosty opened his mouth! ;-)
