Product Description

*National Parenting Publication Award (NAPPA): Silver Winner 2013* The Snowman and The Snowdog is the brand new charming sequel to the Christmas classic The Snowman, Raymond Briggs' iconic children's book. The Snowman follows the wonderful adventures of a young boy and the remarkable Snowman he creates. When a young boy and his mother move house, the boy discovers a secret box hidden under the floorboards of his bedroom. In the box, he finds a hat, scarf, some lumps of coal and a shriveled tangerine - it's a snowman-making kit! Later that day it starts to snow, and the boy builds a Snowman and with the little spare snow leftover, a Snowdog. That night they come to life and take him on a wonderful adventure. As dawn breaks they fly home, but before the boy returns to bed a magical surprise awaits him...

Review

This 2012 sequel to the Oscar-nominated 1982 animated adaptation of Raymond Briggs' wordless 1978 picture book follows a mom, her freckle-cheeked son, and their barking pet as they move into a new home. By the time the jack-o-lanterns decay, the family dog is buried in the backyard (an offscreen death, although the sight of its ball and collar on the mound is heartbreaking), and the boy's spirits are still low when he writes a letter for Santa. He also happens to stumble on a loose floorboard,discovering a box with a hat, scarf, and coal...and an aged photo of another youngster standing happily with a snowman friend. Setting out to build his own snowman, the boy gets the bright idea to make a canine companion, and at night is amazed to hear the dog barking and see his icy buddies come to life! The boy, the dog, and the snowman enjoy a fun nighttime escapade featuring flying, sledding, skiing, and a meeting with Santa that may result in the best present of all. A heartwarming, magical companion to the original, boasting gorgeous animation and a delicate score (in addition to Andy Burrows' majestic theme song 'Light the Night'), bonus features include the 'How The Snowman Came Back to Life', narrated by Juliet Stevenson, which features the reclusive Briggs. Highly recommended. Editor's Choice ----J. Williams-Wood, Video Librarian

5.0 out of 5 starsA sequel that's remains faithful to the original, and is just as good
By KarToon12 on April 25, 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Both my parents and I LOVE "The Snowman". It's such a simple, charming, magical story, that's beautifully animated, and we've watched it every year since the time it was released. So when we learned the cherished movie was getting a sequel to celebrate the 20th anniversary, we were both excited, as well as cautious, because with any sequel, there's the lingering fear that it won't be as good as the first, or worse, ruin the original.

But after watching it, I can easily say this sequel is just as good as the original, with the same quality animation, and the same level of magic and heart.

Just like the original, the story is told with no dialogue, and centers on a young boy who moves into a new neighborhood, and into the house that the boy from the original lived in. Clearly, many years have passed, and the barren countryside has since been renovated and filled up with many more houses. Come wintertime, the boy discovers an old shoebox under the floorboards in his bedroom. Inside is a time capsule of sorts, filled with some of the boy from the original's old toys, as well as a picture of him with the titular Snowman (and the hat and scarf that was used). The boy (from now) uses the photo as a reference to rebuild the Snowman, and uses any extra snow to build a snow dog as well (in memory of his real dog that passed away early on in the movie). At the stroke of midnight, both the Snowman and the Snowdog come to life, and take the boy on a memorable flight to the North Pole to meet Santa Claus. And come the next morning, although the boy must bid the Snowman a sad goodbye, a little Christmas magic gifts him one last surprise.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsThe Snowman & The Snowdog
By Haley Comet on January 18, 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I watched the video before showing it to my first grade class and I started to cry from the get-go. The story started out with a mom, a boy and an old dog moving into a new home. The story-line was real life for me because I was a single mom with a small son, and old dog .We also moved into a new home. Well, the old dog dies and they bury it in the back yard! All the time I am crying my eyes out. The story ends well but I don't know if I am up to showing it to my first grade class. The video didn't have the beautiful music or the originality as the first video, The Snowman.

4.0 out of 5 starsI believe that you'll enjoy sharing this one with the kids
By Chloe on December 23, 2014
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
This is a very touching sequel to The Snowman based upon the children's book written by Raymond Briggs. In my opinion, the animation is very expressive and in keeping with the artwork in the book. This rendition brings us back to the house where the first snowman was built and allows the child of the new owner to discover the old snowman kit hidden beneath the floorboards. Some of it unfolds in the same fashion as the original Snowman movie. However, there are new experiences and a surprise magical gift that holds one's interest as well as touches the heart. If you have children, I believe that you'll enjoy sharing this one with the kids.

5.0 out of 5 starsso surprised on how good this is
By Zorro on January 6, 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I am a huge fan of the original so I was hoping this would be "ok" and not ruin the original in some way. Wow, was I surprised--a great story with a bitter sweet payoff. The animation, well, it was real animation-not the computer generated(yawn) stuff that got old right after the 1st ToyStory. This is real hand drawn "art". The pacing and story were so tasteful and well done, so impressive. Alas, the music during the flying sequences could never come close to Walking in the Air, but what could? It still was top-notch, just not memorable. The first time I watched this, I could barely move, it was so emotional! I cant believe the writers came up with this!!! I've watched several times since and it gets better. DO yourself and your family a favor--buy this and enjoy it!

5.0 out of 5 starsA truly good sequel
By Maureen M. McCarty on January 9, 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Excellent sequel to The Snowman. I love that they added a dog to this one, and the sad dog parts are not overly detailed or dwelled on, so it's not devastating for dog lovers. I'm so glad they didn't try to modernize the characters to make them look more 3-D - that spoils so many classic older works. The Snowman is beautiful just as it is. The added "making of" feature is a much-appreciated bonus and is something I will enjoy watching more than once.

5.0 out of 5 starsSo unbelievably cute
By Een on March 7, 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I've never come so close to crying at a movie before. It's a family tradition in our house to watch The Snowman (the original) at least once every holiday season, though it usually ends up being more like 3 or 4 times. We still love the original, but it was getting sort of stale after how many times we've watched it. My sister, I, and my parents both were thrilled when we found that a sort of sequel came out, and it restored that sense of excitement we all had when we watched The Snowman for the first time ~15 years ago. Really, truly well done, and so worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 starsBeautiful addition to The Snowman collection.
By Jessica on November 29, 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
The original film, "The Snowman" is a family treasure that I have enjoyed since childhood. My brother and I were thrilled when we found that a new movie had come out. The second film was artfully crafted and just as magical. I really enjoyed having The Snowman back in my living room once more, only this time as an adult (don't tell my brother I watched it without him). It's a modern day approach to the first edition. I did especially appreciate the extended footage with interviews from the original creator and author, Raymond Briggs, it gave a look into his life and why his stories are touching, yet heartbreaking.
