This movie is for the child in all of us. A visual treat, this is a little gem of a holiday movie.
Based on a Raymond Briggs story, it tells of a snowman who comes to life and takes a young boy on a journey to meet Santa Claus at the North Pole. Told without dialogue, it is all about the images and the music, both of which are outstanding.
Look for the song "Walking in the Air", sung by Peter Auty. Apart from containing the only lyrics in the movie, it is a classic. Mr Auty was only about 13 years old when he recorded this song, and is the highlight of the score.
If you have children, show them this movie. If you don't, watch it anyway.
