The snowman was a mainstay of every Christmas Day throughout my childhood in the 80s. I'm now impressing upon my kids every year just to keep the magic alive
However having watched as an adult it's really not that good. I don't actually think I liked it much as a kid but it was just a tradition more than a must see. The animation may have been groundbreaking back in 1982 but it certainly doesn't stand up that well today
The sequel the snowman and the snow dog is far superior movie which was released much much later
The theme tune walking in the air is the key moment in the film and I loved the single as a kid. I loved the aled Jones version and bought the vinyl single and wish I still had it as would be worth a few quid now.
Worth mentioning David bowies cameo just for gravitas
Worth seeing once but not great by todays Xmas movie standards. More a tradition to roll back the 80s.
