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.
