Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDespite the smallish fee on offer, Robbie Williams was only too happy to co-write and sing the song featured as he was a huge fan of Raymond Briggs 'The Snowman' animated short film of the mid 1980s as a child and wanted to be part of something equally magical that children would still be watching at Christmas decades later. And despite being a major Hollywood film and television star, Benedict Cumberbatch's involvement was also because of his fond childhood memories of The Snowman.

Featured review
Any negative reviews clearly don't know the story. It's a tribute to the original. Elaborating and extending the story just enough to make it a watchable film without detracting from the original at all.
The animation is just like the book. So subtle, the fading in and out of the background is great.
The voices suit each character beautifully and the original music score fits really well. The song performed by Robbie Williams was a nice surprise.
My 2 year old was enraptured by it from start to finish. We loved it.
