The story of
The Snowman is a child's dream come true – you build a
snowman which comes to life and takes you on an
incredible adventure which included meeting
Father Christmas (that's the part that had Harriet who's only just beginning to grasp the idea of
Christmas enthralled).
Relying totally on the
perfect animation and music including the song
Walking in the Air which made
Aled Jones a household name,
The Snowman can be appreciated by all the family and the
bonus features include a behind-the-scenes look at the
intricate methods involved in the production.
An
audio commentary with the producer
John Coates and design supervisor
Jill Brookes, along with
Joanna Harrison and
Hilary Audes who put the original story board together gives a deeper insight into the making of
The Snowman along with
Aled Jones' and
Peter Auty's humorous perpspective common misconceptions on the original recording of
Walking in the Air.
The Snowman is a perfect story for
Christmas and this
30th Anniversary Edition will inspire a new generation of fans.
