Such pointless comments on here, its a cartoon from somebody imagination pointing out useless facts of what it would be like if it was real life is irrelevant and to be honest no one gives a shit.. its a classic n millions of people love this all around the world...
The first time I saw this video was at age 5. I am now 20 years old sitting in front of my computer with a cup of Columbian coffee recalling how great this film is...this is just the best experience right now :...)
I think this animation would be ruin if it had dialogue.. i guess since were use to this one lol.. and since the book dont have no words.. i think? its been a long time since i had the book..
I'd LOVE to see Darren Aronofsky (Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan, the Wrestler) direct a movie adaptation of Raymond Briggs' book. 'The Snowman' seems like the type of film he could do justice to. Thumbs up if you a agree.
if this kid was black... the snowman wouldnt have come alive, and if it did he would have got his ass wooped for lettin a snowman hyjack his dad's motor cycle at like 2 in the fuckin morning
oh what ever ur name is why say such an irrelivant thing this is such a nice movie it doesnt need bad comments so just shut up and keep ur nasty irrelivent comments 2 urself i hate people like u in the world fuck u u nasty piece of shit wanker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also, I would like to add that the Snowman exhibits no sign of having a motorcycle license, or any form of driving license during these scenes. Given that he was apparently created only 1 day before he took charge of a motorized vehicle, I must say this is most irresponsible.
Alright, I can get over the fact that there are penguins in the North Pole, and that the kid doesn't die of hypothermia during any of this, but what I can't get over is how deaf the parents are. The house could be burning down and they'd both still be fast asleep.

@RomanLettore the snow doesn't make any sense too. It's just a layer on top of the animation. Sorry but that's just being plane lazy. Lern how 2 anumatie lulz you lazy bastards!1
Does anyone think there's something timeless about the bit 5 mins 8 seconds in and onwards? He's lying there in the freezer, not really doing that much; something's not quite right. He sees the picture of the North Pole and realises he doesn't have much time left to do what he needs to do.
When I hear about people with terminal illnesses living with utmost determination, I think of this specific bit. And when something NEEDS to get done, I remember the music. Ah, it's pure brilliance.
@mazza558 That's true. I hadn't thought of it like that before. You could also say that he's pretty much experiencing all of life in one day from being created until he's gone. All the small ordinary things in that sense are things he hasn't experienced before or will ever experience again.
i love this little "film" this is going to be my daughters first christmas and im going to carry on my family tradition of watching this on christmas eve after bath time :D
Every time I ask someone if they've heard of or seen The Snowman, I usually get the same response, "What, Frosty? Of course I have!" Sorry, but there's no comparison. This Snowman touches parts that other snowmen just cannot reach.
@PretzelsWithBrie I know an American girl who I've described this to and I know she just doesn't quite get it... I'm going to have to make her watch it this Christmas. And embarrass myself when I cry like a baby
@PretzelsWithBrie I'm American!! And I LOVE this movie and song. It's such a part of my childhood memories. I've hummed this tune ever since, but only recently discovered the name of it. when I heard it again I was completely freaking out. I was like, "You guys, this is THAT song! This is from my movie! This is from The Snowman!"
so you are not the only one who appreciates this great story.
@PretzelsWithBrie this played on the public channel in california when i was a kid, minus the david bowie, unfortunaely. i was about 9-10, many years ago now.
I love this song lol at 6:14 hes like "Whatssup bitch" and then the flying Snowman is like "Nothin' homie jus' doin' my anuel flight yanno" LOL! Love this part!
Yep, i'm 24 (most people here seem to be mid-20s) because we grew up with this. Th is song 'Walking in the Air' is so haunting and beautiful. This video was like a drug in my childhood. It is so perfect. Words cannot describe the emotional vibe I get from this.
haha i remember watching this in kindergarden and laughing so hard with my friend whenever we heard that song. And when their flying and riding the motorcycle. lmfao!!
This holds a special place in my heart. Yeah, sounds weird. But there's a certain sense of nostalgia, the same sense of nostalgia that makes me believe in children, when we believed in things.
I'm afraid that many kids these days are being raised on realistic looking violence (Grand Theft Auto, for example) at a VERY young age.
Parents, raise your kids on good stuff. Just like this video. This is the kind fo goodness you hardly find today. God is counting on you.
@EventuallyWeMerge Spoil sport. Also, don't make a fairly persuading argument and then bring God into it at the last minute, it just compromises your position and makes you sound like a weirdo.
I love how it's colored. it really looks and feels like colored pencils and pastels instead of paint. It feels like every animation frame including the backgrounds were colored in colored pencils. That to me, really gives it a warmth, that's what I love about 2d animation
This beautifully illustrated film has a magical quality all of its own. The whole score is just delightful.
Apart from 'Walking In The Air', I absolutely LOVE the Snowman's Music Box Dance.
I first saw this as a little child and even tho I'm now 30, it's nice to know that adults can still dream and feel like kids again. I was reminded of that while watching Walking In The Air clip and nearly cried.
When I was little, everytime I saw this movie, I'd always feel so anxious when they went away from his house! ^_^ I would think, "does his mommy and daddy know that he's flying thru the air with some crazy snowman?!" LOL. The music on this is so beautiful, truly a classic and a must-see movie. Wonderful, snowy fun!
I've been watching this video since I was 3 years old (I am not 23). Even after 20 years, this video has brought me tears every time I watch it. I really feel it deals with living in the moment and taking advantage of times that are most important before they are gone.
George Winston does an amazing piano solo of this song that really brings all the elements together. Worth buying his CDs
@bhsmiler08 Around 1:48 I get this CRAZY wave of Nostalgia when the Snowman starts dancing......And of course the biggest wave of nostalgia comes from 'Walking In The Air'.......This movie holds a special place in my heart, and I actually bought it at Wal-Mart this Summer. I want to watch it with my family this Christmas, even though my sisters don't appreciate this as much as I do.
i love the walking in the air song. thats the part i remembered most. on a side note, i would never let a snowman give me a ride on a motorcycle. dangerous stuff
Thank you so much for sharing this story here! I always wanted to watch this. When I was little, I saw many advertisements for this and this song was often played, I longed to see the animation, but never got the chance, until now. Thanks to you and YouTube. :)
The Snowman, to me, is one of those stories where you develop a true magnectic connection to, with the wonderful storyline, music and art the movie provides.
They show this film in Finland too, every Christmas eve. ^-^ A yearly tradition of mine to watch it.. I love it so much. It's a shame cartoons like this are not made anymore, not too often anyway.. this is pure art.
Does anyone know what the name of the song that the music box plays? I heard it on a new age radio, only it was a piano instrumental. I immediately thought of this scene, and now I'm craving to know the name of the song. Thanks!
Right, after a little bit of detective work I've discovered the name of the song is "The Snowman's Music Box Dance" and it was originally written for the film by Howard Blake. A guy called George Winston did a piano version of the song on a new age album called "Forest" and that was probably the version you heard. I hope that helps :)
You can probably buy the soundtrack. By my own observation, the melody is VERY similar to "flying" from Peter Pan (same key too) : watch?v=1adnfIBOYeE&feature=related
Firstly, nobody forced you to watch it, and secondly, if you have issues with being half English then that's entirely your fault. Sure, everybody is entitled to express an opinion, but in your case I think you should hold onto it.
Quit with the bad language too. A lot of kids watch these vids, and there's no need for it.
everyone here is saying the same thing. Its a phenomenon that this cartoon is so good at bringing up emotions we have in us correlating and in tune with our child hood. Im 24, and this is insane. I want the dvd.
Last May on a holiday in the Lakes, we decided to check out the pencil museum (srictly for a laugh!) they played the flying scene at the end of a 10min documentary, and in a room or ppl watching i tried to hide my emotions, this gets me every time not just the ending, as AurynofAsia said, its the taking back to childhood. knowing you can't go back but have fond memories. i still have to watch this every Christmas Eve Channel 4 puts it on. i also love thne music at the snowman's dance!
It's terribly sad, not because of the ending but because of the amount of emotions that are triggered that I hadn't felt since childhood. I can't believe how powerful this cartoon is to me even still after so many years.
God Bless you so much for uploading this video.

That section where they fly in all it's unfathemable beauty is my inside person.
I love it!
I want to be cold.

@bhsmiler08 Around 1:48 I get this CRAZY wave of Nostalgia when the Snowman starts dancing......And of course the biggest wave of nostalgia comes from 'Walking In The Air'.......This movie holds a special place in my heart, and I actually bought it at Wal-Mart this Summer. I want to watch it with my family this Christmas, even though my sisters don't appreciate this as much as I do.

Thank you so much for sharing this story here! I always wanted to watch this. When I was little, I saw many advertisements for this and this song was often played, I longed to see the animation, but never got the chance, until now. Thanks to you and YouTube. :)

The Snowman, to me, is one of those stories where you develop a true magnectic connection to, with the wonderful storyline, music and art the movie provides.

They show this film in Finland too, every Christmas eve. ^-^ A yearly tradition of mine to watch it.. I love it so much. It's a shame cartoons like this are not made anymore, not too often anyway.. this is pure art.

Does anyone know what the name of the song that the music box plays? I heard it on a new age radio, only it was a piano instrumental. I immediately thought of this scene, and now I'm craving to know the name of the song. Thanks!

I have no idea what the name of the song is, but I'll take a look around for you, and if I manage to find out then I'll let you know :)

dreamer07079 2 years ago
Right, after a little bit of detective work I've discovered the name of the song is "The Snowman's Music Box Dance" and it was originally written for the film by Howard Blake. A guy called George Winston did a piano version of the song on a new age album called "Forest" and that was probably the version you heard. I hope that helps :)

You can probably buy the soundtrack. By my own observation, the melody is VERY similar to "flying" from Peter Pan (same key too) : watch?v=1adnfIBOYeE&feature=related

I love The Snowman I grew up always watching it during the winter, it's not lame at all it's quite artistic and it will always be a favorite of mine

This comment has received too many negative votes show
This is so fucking lame.
One of the many reasons I hate being half-English.
Ugh.
Only the British could worship something so pathetic.
gabibitch 2 years ago
Firstly, nobody forced you to watch it, and secondly, if you have issues with being half English then that's entirely your fault. Sure, everybody is entitled to express an opinion, but in your case I think you should hold onto it.
Quit with the bad language too. A lot of kids watch these vids, and there's no need for it.

whichever of your parents is british, they probably hate you too i could only assume.

good stuff though,
ending theme is timeless
gotta learn this on the piano

everyone here is saying the same thing. Its a phenomenon that this cartoon is so good at bringing up emotions we have in us correlating and in tune with our child hood. Im 24, and this is insane. I want the dvd.

Last May on a holiday in the Lakes, we decided to check out the pencil museum (srictly for a laugh!) they played the flying scene at the end of a 10min documentary, and in a room or ppl watching i tried to hide my emotions, this gets me every time not just the ending, as AurynofAsia said, its the taking back to childhood. knowing you can't go back but have fond memories. i still have to watch this every Christmas Eve Channel 4 puts it on. i also love thne music at the snowman's dance!
drapesy84 2 years ago 2
It's terribly sad, not because of the ending but because of the amount of emotions that are triggered that I hadn't felt since childhood. I can't believe how powerful this cartoon is to me even still after so many years.
