The Snowman (part 1)

[DenshaOtoko2]

When I first saw this, I was completely entranced. I think I was only 6 months old. For the longest time, I had thought it was all but dream I had as a child. Only years later, at the age of nine; was I certain the the film had been a true expirience and some fabrication of my infant mind.

[Shirdel7221]

If this doesn't get you into a Christmas Mood, NOTHING will. One of, if not the best animated piece of all time, and a great song to go with it.

[zombieporn99]

The kid goes commando. (no undies)

[aimeebaines]

[MrFreesoul2010]

i love this movie



[mandyymacD]

T love this movie because it has a beautiful feel to it. Its not a traditional Christmas/Holiday movie and that's why I like it. And I love it without words, I don't think we would get the same benefit and feel from it if it did have words.

[rocknroll123ish]

Thank you soo much for uploading! suuch a classic movie I still watch it <3

[sillygrl23]

lol...the kid is so excited he forgot to put on his undies XD Such a great christmas movie...I really hope my neices and nephews watch it sometime so they can get the same joy out of watching it like I did.

[mikecheesy1]

NO WOOOORDS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[elcheeserpuff]

Oh hai David Bowie.

[FergusTV1]

[tromo266]

[shenloken2]

0:52 - And Jeridth from Labyrinth muscles his way in for a cameo!

It's a beautiful cartoon in all seriousness!

[DrWine07]

[ChelsieeeXMinor]

my favourite film as a child, and still to this day.

stunning! it makes me cry everytime, as it reminds me of better, more innocent times. :'] <3

[RaeRae914]

Hey he went commando!!! hehehehehe ;)

[eannaansari]

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!!

[alliefunkin]

@eannaansari Beautifully put

[videodude23]

Is that David Bowie!?

[nightfox]

@videodude23 yes

[CharlotteC94]

@videodude23 That's what I thought!!!! He looks so much like him XD

[theuglyhairmonster]

how can people possibly dislike this

[Artprincess247]

i remember i always watched this movie when i was at my grandparent's house

[Budw]

I've watched this on the 23rd of december every year since I can remember. During 20 minutes I'm ageless and filled with nostalgia! Can't watch it any other day though, it'll ruin it :)

[Steven197981]

I remember watching this movie a LONG time ago!

[95harmo]

I used to watch this ALL the time when I was little :) I have to get it on DVD :) I think this movie is like sooo relaxing for some reason :) LOVE it!

[s0ncho]

the americans can keep frosty the snowman im happy with this

[EventuallyWeMerge]

@s0ncho I'm American, and I'm keeping THIS! This not only brings back memories for me but has a special place in my heart, because you rarely see inspiring stories within animation these days. It's all about "HOW REAL DOES IT LOOK?" or "IS IT FUNNY?"..................This was back in a day when I felt alive.

[s0ncho]

@EventuallyWeMerge usually when americans mention snowmen they respond with frosty this has more of a "dark" nature to it almost like a life lesson

[walesy101]

very clutzy llove it <3

[supertedtv]

The Snowman (part 1) is a real early 80's classic movie.

[BAAAKSEEEN]

they dont make em like this today i tell ya

[shockblok]

Yeah man i haven't seen this in years.... Thanks a lot.

[CutiebirdVids]

Omg! I remember this! I used to watch it when i couldnt fall asleep when i was little, the music is so relaxing!

[scaleop4]

this is so epic that it made me cry

[vvblondie666]

David Bowie has such a peaceful voice <3

[landcmg]

i'm glad someone else has record of David Bowie doing this! when i bought the DVD in college (around 2003), it was the re-release and it didn't have Bowie!!

[GeneStarwind09]

Christmas childhood memories. I loved this. Damn, I wish I could find the other amazing Christmassy things I used to watch. Suppose I should ask my parents.

[Shareallicu]

This movie was magic to me when I was a kid.

[xxtwilight2nightxx]

this makes me cry. i used to watch this all the time when i was a kid!!! holy shit i havent heard that song on seen this clip since i was 7.

[MortenBoHansen]

with Bowie? haha.. my man!;-) its so trippy to see this again after walking and suddenly remembering this tune in my head so i had to find it! Its so nostalgi acid balls tripping! Allthoug.. in my country it was way cooler! There was no speaking voice, so the music had to speak for itself;-)

[izlude2]

lol'd so hard at the beginning of this upload.

THE END! hehehheh.

[phoenixmoon3]

Thank you for posting this. It only came on US televison once . I loved it and remember crying at the end. thank you for this.

[johnoman123]

Man the end of this movie is so sad. I own it and when I got it when I has like 4 it came with the scarf and a stuffed snowman.

[hakojo]

The main theme of this movie has stuck with me since I was about three years old...It's so amazing to see this and hear it again after so long!

[sowhat137]

[zed2192]

[Drittkladden]

Have been searching for this movie my entire life.

Very strange to finaly see it.

[sidensvans54]

A lovely story :)

[HoopDayz]

I love this so much

I remember watching this when I was little.. so magical and the music is great

[sidensvans54]

Just lovely...

Happy Christmas :)

[frozenstrawbs]

original had no narration and was 10x better than this.

the voice taints its beauty

[edders05]

What narration? It stops after the first minute or so. Raymond Briggs did a short one on the original version, too.

[frozenstrawbs]

does it? i couldn't watch after the first 20 seconds

[escapinganxiety]

i LOVE that intro, if anyone has piano sheets or anything let me know.

[kaari]

SO COOL

[candytiikeri]

I love Snowman! Since I was little I've seen this always on Christmas eve on tv, and now had to see it on youtube. Can't have Christmas eve without Snowman!

xxx

[Sorvea]

I love the Snowman. But I was more of a Rankin Bass kid on Christmas Eve.

[sxcnat9119]

me to!!!!!

[natemio]

when i see this i think of irn bru ad!

[rosebudd77]

I've never seen this video before but having a hard time getting past the fact that the kid didn't put on any underwear or coat hat and gloves while outside...

I did enjoy the snowman going in the house and scaring the cat. Too cute!

[cazatron88]

I adore this although it is awfully sad.

xx

[guitarman2116]

yah iron maiden

[sampsoninc916]

I've seen this before on a VHS tape, you know, I'm like 17 years old and I know about this stuff, the 80s, and such, because I was part of the VHS revolution, before it got taken over by DVD. Some notable examples of VHS stuff that come to my mind are The Music Machine, the WeeSing franchise, this, Courdoroy (set in a toy store), animated illustrated books, probably some Kipper, the Rankin Bass specials, wow, I had a fantastic childhood, and I bet your kids will, if they watch this and Pixar

[stucena]

i love watchin this film because its lovely and it was my nans favrout film before she passed away it helps me remember her thankyou

[omgdatsme]

i never understand the moral of this movie. but i love it

[Tingilyawen]

Maybe the lesson is that you should enjoy everything while it's still alive and never forget?

[cocker2themax]

i watch this every christmas eve aswell... its just the best

[canadiansaint]

theres no other words to describe it apart from sheer brilliance. I watch it every christmas Eve, and I cry every time haha

[XvXvX]

aw, me too! i just remembered this and thought i'd look it up on youtube. gonna watch the vhs when i go home for xmas for sure. i'm even hesitant to watch it now since it's been an xmas tradition since i was a kid and i don't wanna spoil it. hehe. so glad others are so emotional and nostalgic about it too. i still cry when i see it. the soundtrack is simply unbeatable. and i'm 25. hehe

[braztaz]

I hate growing up. :(

[FUK3699]

This was my favourite film as a kid...it's still one of my favourites even today at 27 ! LOL I think this film shows exactly what Christmas is all about. These days it's all about greed

[whathefcukisthis]

this is Genius...

unsurpassed

[singlala15]

I used to watch this when i was little and now that i have seen it i cried! its so good! i love it!

[puppyjasper]

Wow, i have it on VCR Video :D I also watched it when i was younger, and also had a walkman with this story on tape, so i listened it when i went to bed :D

beautiful

[9Elle2]

I watched this when I was younger.. it's beautiful.

[Toonfreak2]

One of the most beautifully animated shorts of all time. This one's a classic.

[MaryLouRoyal]

OMG, I watched this A LOT around the Christmas season when I was younger...

...and the fact that it's David Bowie means I have to dig out that old VHS again. :D

[fiddleandcatz]

every christmas eve channel 4 would show this but it was on when we had church and after church we went to my auntie's house and when we got back i would watch this it has many pleasent memories for me of growing up.

[iori37]

its so warm and nice!that brings back memories!

[kirmuis]

beautiful!

[FredrikHardin]
