Rudolph and Frosty's Christmas In July is a 1979 film created by Rankin/Bass. It is the second sequel to the 1964 film Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Plot[]
Rudolph (Billie Mae Richards) realizes his famous red nose is getting dim. Santa Claus (Mickey Rooney) explains that the glow was provided years ago by Lady Borealis (Nellie Bellflower) to make sure he could make it through a snowstorm created by the evil Winterbolt (Paul Frees), ruler of the North Pole. Lady Borealis put a spell on Winterbolt that sent him into a deep sleep, but now the villain is awake and trying to draw Frosty the Snowman (Jackie Vernon) into a plot to extinguish Rudolph's nose for good.
