The plot and the dialogue occasionally remind one of a Saturday morning cartoon. A good deal of the subtle humour of Tolkien's original is elided. But the actors and the animation are good. Some of the songs that the goblins sing are positively rousing. The appearance of Gollum and the goblins was ill-conceived, but the dwarves, and Gandalf, the elves, and the dragon are fine.
(Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer / Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town / Frosty the Snowman / Frosty Returns / Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol / Little Drummer Boy
A unicorn tries to find other unicorns.
1/4 (Bad).
There's some pretty art, poorly animated and awkwardly edited. The story is sloppy, arbitrary, and feels unfinished. The music is so terrible, it sounds like a parody of bad music.

Frosty the Snowman comes to life when a little girl and some other school children place a failed magician's hat on the snowman's head. Jimmy Durante narrates this great Christmas cartoon classic. Highly recommend.
