The Snowman (1982 TV Short)
10/10
This movie...!
13 July 2005
Oh jeez...

This movie makes me cry every time I watch it. The 'theme song', a melody originally sung by a choir boy, "Walking In The Air" always turns me to a sobbing blob, even when I hear it in a store at Christmas, or a clip of it on other shows.

The animation is very much a drawing come to life. This film captures the nostalgia of youth and Christmas without being glitz, glam and too sickly sweet. You don't need Mickey to compliment your mistletoe! Two words. Watch it. Don't hesitate. The children will adore it, and I'm sure an older generation will too! It's your inner child in film form. Go see it!

I cried! Three times!

Aww, what a gorgeous film. The animation is pretty, it's well written, and the Giant is perfectly portrayed, so much so that I cried at the end. Twice. (If you've not seen it, I won't spoil it). Then I cried once more when I'd left the cinema.

I'm not sure what to say...

Hogarth, the main little boy, is a little bit annoying. But I'm not a fan of child actors, even animated ones.

That's how good it is.

Watch it!

Watch it now! I command it!
