The Snowman & The Snowdog

What a way to get into the holiday spirit.
I grew up watching "The Snowman" with my family during the holidays, and now with children of my own, I can enjoy this new sequel. The storyline is easy to follow, even for young viewers, and at only 70 minutes keeps children's attention. The magic of Christmas, along with the importance of friendship, shine through in this movie. I loved the animation, which is similar to the iconic children's book and movie. I can't believe this year marks the 30th anniversary of the first movie, 'The Snowman." But, I can see both of these movies becoming family favorites, and enjoyed for years to come. Since receiving a copy for review, my kids and I have already watched this movie about the little boy and his new Snowman friend, half a dozen times. What a way to get into the holiday spirit. :-)

When the Snowman takes flight, again!
If you loved the original "The Snowman", then this poignant and charming sequel is certain to warm your heart. A young boy moves with his mother to a new home. There's a sad event but I won't spoil it for you; suffice to say that the young man discovers something under the floorboards in his bedroom - a snowman decorating kit! It starts snowing and the boy is off to make a snowman and on a whim, he make a snowdog too. Fans of the original will know that the boy is soon to experience something magical, and will be taking flight with the snowman and his new companion, the snowdog to a a far-off, magical land, where they play with other snowmen and get to experience a magical Christmas. The young boy discovers that dreams and wishes do come true, and all is well, as it should be this magical time of year.

This makes the perfect stocking stuffer for Christmas, and my 8.5-year-old daughter and I truly enjoyed the show. It runs about 70 mins, and like the original...

Amazing sequel!!
First of all the music is soooo beautiful! There is no dialogue and yet the story is so touching. My kids were mesmerized the entire time. We got a little snow the other day and my son went out in his pajamas and gloves to make a Snowman and a Snowdog…lol This show is definitely on our holiday tradition list now. I don't know how they did it, but they made a sequel that is just as good as the original!
