Headscratchers / Frosty Returns

• Why did Mr. Twitchell decide to call his spray-the-snow-away product "Summer Wheeze"?
  • Maybe it made that sound at some point? Or he thought it would be a 'wheeze to use'? Or a play off of "Summer breeze"?
  • He probably thought it would sound more memorable. He was determined to be remembered for his product, and some other name might not have stuck out as much as he would have liked it to. Either that or some poor sap in marketing got worked to the hilt to come up with it.
• How can Frosty now live without his top hat? In earlier specials, whenever his hat was removed he became as an ordinary inanimate snowman. Yet in this special, he can take his hat off and nothing happens to him.
  • A simple Continuity Snarl perhaps, but let's not forget that Crystal's kiss of love allowed Frosty to live without the hat. Then again, the next sequel after that did revert him right back to old habits, so perhaps it was temporary.
  • This is probably a different continuity, given all the various differences and no input from anyone at Rankin/Bass. So different rules.
