i remember watching this a kid back when it was ok to wish someone a merry christmas and santa was found infront of the store ringing the bell to put money in for charity. You cant find these delightful things anymore...
I showed this to my 5 year old granddaughter....she thought it was fun to watch (especially when the cat freaks out when it sees the snowman).....I love this story as well......joyous noel!
I miss my childhood....there was no stress....just snow with more magic and mystery....when I watch something so peaceful and magical as this, it really brings back memories! I hope to show my kids some day what eerieness yet beautiful magic christmas has to offer with the stillness of snow everywhere and the warmt of festive moods trickling into our hearts! I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas....we are never too young to be enchanted by it all!!
if uv never saw this before, prepare to cry. its probably as good and sad as Forest Gump, maybie even sadder/ and if u havent seen Forest Gump, u havent seen anything.
This film is a work of art. Y'know, although I was not too keen on the pastel graphics back at the time, I look at it now and I think they are excellent. Far superior and pleasing to look at than all the soulless CGI nonsense that we have today :)
I wonder how long it'll be before some critic says that the boy and the snowman are setting bad examples for the children: Sneaking out at night, stealing a bike and joy riding, and wasting electricity by keeping the fridge/freezer door open.
This brings lots and lots and lots of memory back from when i was a kid / child . I remember crying all the time at one christmas cartoon where a old man died.
First animation I worked on, from then on, it was all downhill. Have you any idea how long it took to do just one cell? And there are 24 in each second.
teachers always put this on for the students at my elementary school during "indoor" lunch days in the winter. must have seen this whole video like 10 times! ah, memories!
i never expected to come across this here! Oh the memories!! my sister and i would curl up with our presents all around us watching this when we were lil sprouts!!! hah!
look up this song "the snowman" on youtube or itunes. the orchesra is a YOUTH orchestra!!! AMAZING! at first i thought it was a professional orchestra. and the little boy that is singing is from wales. i remember watching this as a little girl.

this is so haunting
it makes me think about time and how fast it goes by
and how I haven't been living in the "now"
*sigh*

I miss films like this where people worked hard to made it look beautiful rather than doing all the CGI sh#t.
I used to watch this every christmas wish they put stuff like this on at christmas
