Adapted from Raymond Briggs’ best seller and nominated for an Oscar back in 1982 this is the story of the snowman that came to life and whisked off a young boy on the adventure of a lifetime.

From the magical beginning to the tearful ending The Snowman will live in the hearts of many big kids that were born in the late 70s such as myself. The Snowman is a true classic, from the beautiful animation, to the score composed by Howard Blake, to Aled Jones’ rendition of “Walking In The Air” The Snowman is quintessential Christmas viewing.
