Frosty the Snowman (live-action remake)

Frosty the Snowman is an upcoming live-action remake of the iconic cartoon and the song.
==Plot==
In a schoolhouse on Christmas Eve, inept magician Professor Hinkle unsuccessfully performs his tricks during a Christmas party. Upon being dismissed, the children go outside to play in the snow and build a snowman they name "Frosty." Professor Hinkle chases his rabbit Hocus Pocus, who has absconded with his hat. The hat is blown off by the wind and caught by Karen, a student who puts it on Frosty's head and brings him to life. Professor Hinkle reclaims the hat when it gets blown off and declines that he saw Frosty come to life. Later, Hocus switches the hat with a Christmas wreath and brings it back to the children. They use the hat to animate Frosty again, and the snowman is immediately amazed by his newfound life.
When the temperature rises, Frosty fears he will melt unless he can get to the North Pole. The children suggest putting him on a train to get there and they parade through town on the way to the train station, shocking several townspeople. Because they have no money for tickets, Hocus, Frosty and Karen secretly board a northbound freight train's refrigerator car while Professor Hinkle follows them to reclaim the hat.
As the train continues northward, Frosty sees that Karen cannot withstand the freezing boxcar. When the train stops to let a passenger train pass, the group disembarks in search of somewhere to warm Karen, with Hinkle following in pursuit. By nightfall, Frosty and Hocus struggle to bring an unconscious Karen through the forest. Hocus asks the forest animals to build a campfire for Karen, which they succeed in doing. Fearing that the fire will not be enough, Frosty decides to look for Santa Claus, whom they assume can save Karen and bring him to the North Pole. While Hocus searches for Santa, Professor Hinkle arrives, and Karen and Frosty flee and stumble upon a greenhouse that the latter enters to warm up Karen, only for Hinkle to arrive and lock them both inside.
By the time Santa arrives and lets Hocus lead him to the greenhouse, Frosty has already melted. Santa explains to a heartbroken Karen that Frosty is made of Christmas snow and will return every winter. He then opens the door and the winter wind revives Frosty. As they are about to put the hat on his head, Hinkle intervenes. Santa threatens to never bring him another Christmas present if he reclaims the hat. After Hinkle runs home to write his apologies, hoping to get a new hat for Christmas, Santa brings Frosty back to life, drops Karen off at her house, and takes Frosty to the North Pole, promising that he will return every year with the magical Christmas snow.
As the credits roll, Frosty leads a parade with the children, Hocus, the narrator (Jimmy Durante), and the rest of the town, including Professor Hinkle who is now sporting his new hat. As the parade ends, Frosty boards Santa's sleigh, and they fly off to the North Pole, with Frosty altering the song’s last line, saying, “I’ll be back on Christmas Day!”
