The Snowman™
Since its release in 1982, The Snowman has become a much-loved Christmas classic. It’s story of a Snowman who takes a boy on a magical flight to meet Santa Claus, is charming and poignant, and is told without dialogue – through animation and music alone.
The film is based on a children’s book by Raymond Briggs, with the soft and warmly atmospheric animation style derived from the charm of his illustrations. Briggs’ idea was to gently introduce children to mortality, as the Snowman is shown to have melted away at the very end.
The score for The Snowman was composed by Howard Blake, and during his long career it has become his most famous work, particularly his song for child soprano, Walking in The Air.
