The Snowman - Raymond Briggs...
 

Shit innit?

Did you watch the new one with the dog?

There is only one Snowman as far as I'm concerned.

Not yet - Its recorded on my Sky box though :winkwink:

It was shit.

Esp the music. Apparantly the composer of the orig rang them up and offered to help with new one. They rudely told him to send in a demo tape!

I thought it was horrible, badly animated, crap story, crap music. Real disappointment.

SkyBox - Delete...

I didn't like the music much (and the song was appalling) but the animation seemed to be the same style as the original so can't complain at that. Supposed to be for children though so i'd really need to find a 5 year old and ask for their review of the story to know if it worked.

It looked to me like it was all computer done animation, didn't look hand drawn. Like the was a photo and they'd applied the Raymond Briggs filter.

I am a major Scrooge when it comes to Christmas TV - If it looks even faintly seasonal it gets turned over.

'The Snowman' sums up everything I hate about Christmas.
