Movie Reviews of The Raymond Briggs' The Snowman
Movie Review: I enjoyed this when I was younger
Summary: 4 Stars
I remember seeing this movie in 2nd grade and I enjoyed it because it related to christmas season which felt really nice. So I recently bought this after I remembered the movie, watched it, and turns out I can't enjoy it, except for the music. It is just too slow for me now. I will probably give this dvd away.
Summary of The Raymond Briggs' The Snowman
This charming British animated short film (it's just 23 minutes long) is a 1982 production of London's Channel 4, based on the classic children's book by Raymond Briggs and crafted with a colored-pencils-on-paper look, like fluffy, hand-drawn illustrations. Small children should be entranced by the story of a small boy in rural England whose lovingly constructed snowman comes to life and takes him flying over the white-blanketed landscapes, in a beautiful rotoscoped (traced) sequence based on live-action flying footage. Part of the charm of the film is the gentle, everyday quality of its fantasy adventures: the snowman is invited in to try on clothes and play with the Christmas decorations, then plays host to the boy at a party in the woods, at which his snowy relatives do English country dances. This is one of the very few Christmas tapes on the market that really deserves to be a holiday perennial, a gentle fable of friendship and the power of imagination. --David ChuteAnimation DVD Video
