the snowman

- First things first- I LOVE the snowman.
-I am a huge fan of illustration, and think the magical story line of this film is mirrored by the type of illustration perfectly. As soon as you see an image of the snowman, before anything is said you get this little glow on the inside... and I love how it has become so iconic, it is still shown every single year at Christmas, and long may it continue!

Ahh the snowman is brilliant, i also love watching it at Christmas and think that if you grew up with it you'll never grow out of it.

Please dont shoot me!! I have to disagree and say I really do not like the Snowman. I can appreciate the illustration etc but the lack of narration and voices and the strong emotional music really use to effect me when I was younger. I found it creepy and bizarre and have not been able to bring myself to watch it since. But now looking back it is very clever how the music in it did affect me so greatly but I still get an eary feeling from it.
