Mini-masterpiece from Ted Eshbaugh (according to the Big Cartoon Database at www.bcdb.com/cartoon/63998-Snow_Man.html). Not your average snowman story.
I bought a dvd at Walmart for $5.00 called, "Vintage Christmas Classics". It has this cartoon, another one called, "Jack Frost" which is scary also, and one called, "The Shanty At Christmas" about to children who are starving, who go ino the cold to gather wood, and dream of going to candy land. These cartoons are scary, sad, and haunting.
My God, why were old cartoons so terrifying? It must've been traumatic growing up as a kid in those days XD (And no, I'm not doing one of these 'child sensitivity' rants. The snowman's face melting into the evil form was as freaky as hell. Period.)
Are you sure this is Fleischer? The naturalistic, rounded animals and the music seem more like early MGM or Warner Brothers. (The Eskimo looks a lot like Buddy.)
scary

I don’t get whats to terrifying about these cartoons i grew up loving em
@@easports2618 In reality, this is scary. Such drawings were not widespread at the time, so it was more like hell for them.
TERRIFYING

Zayde Wolf version is creepy
My granddad tells me they used to run this cartoon in like the early 1950s on television kids shows.
It was still playing in the early 1960's on local TV, too.
