Magic Hat

[ceenote@lemmy.world]

Put the hat on other parts of his body. Problem solved.

I can't believe they still made Hot Frosty after this comic came out. At all, really. Even kept the obviously working title.

[grue@lemmy.world]

Now you've got me thinking about re-watching the old Rankin & Bass movie to see if Frosty could canonically take his hat off and hold it in his hand without becoming inanimate. WTF is wrong with me.

[anticorp@lemmy.world]

So that's where Magic Mike's hat ended up.

he didn't have legs, Kola!

[zoopzezoop@lemmy.world]

So did the twig arm.

I hate the cultural cliche where everyone is expected to act like male nudity is horrifying and dangerous.

[essteeyou@lemmy.world]

I think it's pretty weird in the situation where you're standing in front of a couple of children.

[awesomelowlander@sh.itjust.works]

Only because you're from a culture that thinks it's weird. Pretty common in parts of Europe and elsewhere.

[awesomelowlander@sh.itjust.works]

Nudity - bad. Murdering an intelligent being - no biggie.

[redstrider@lemmy.world]

and the answer is?..

[essteeyou@lemmy.world]

I'm from the UK. I grew up with communal changing rooms and showers at school, but the P.E. teacher would still be in trouble if he got naked with us.

[texas_hangover@sh.itjust.works]

If we wanted to be like Europe culture, we wouldn't have whooped Europe's ass.

[jerkface@lemmy.ca]

What does that even mean?

[rooty@lemmy.world]

Europe, the land of one (1) culture.

I wtach too much DougDoug.

When I read"Magic Hat" my mind goes straight to this:

[grue@lemmy.world]

Okay, so in Frosty The Snowman (1969) the answer is inconclusive -- the hat is either always on his head or out of his possession entirely.

But in Frosty's Winter Wonderland (1976), the kids make him a snow-wife and she comes alive through 'the power of love' when he hands her a bouquet of flowers he made out of snow. A short while later, he gets attacked and his hat gets blown off, but instead of getting the hat back his snow-wife makes a flower for him, sticks it in his buttonhole, and brings him back to life with 'the power of love' too. So, yeah: two sentient snowpeople, both hatless.

(At least briefly: he almost immediately gets the hat back anyway.)

Also: they ask the parson to officiate their wedding. He's too racist against snow-people to be willing to do it himself, but, inexplicably, he's happy to help make a snow-parson to officiate instead. They bring that one to life by giving him a Bible. So at that point the whole thing's off the rails and who knows what the Hell the rules are. Frankly, I'm not sure that sequel should count.
