Frosty the Snowman (1969)

A discarded silk top-hat becomes the focus of a struggle between a washed-up stage magician and a group of schoolchildren, after it magically brings a snowman to life. Realizing that newly-living Frosty will melt in spring unless he takes refuge in a colder climate, the magic snowman and Karen, a young girl whom he befriends, stow away on a freight train headed for the North Pole. Little do they know that the magician is following them, and he wants his hat back!

In Frosty the Snowman, consciousness is carried by monsters and creatures — a plane of “magical winter wonderland”. The story fights on E8/E9 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing magic, holiday, friendship, mortality.
