The Snowman and the Snowdog

There are some - presumably pet lovers - who think this is better than the 1982 original. Well, good as this is - I heartily disagree. A young boy and his mum move into a new house and underneath a floorboard, he discovers some memorabilia that indicates the original snowman came from this house too. Down comes the snow, out goes the boy - and soon we have not only an identical replica of our chilly friend, but also of his lately lamented schnauzer too. Early on Christmas morning, they magically come to life and take our young man on a magical adventure to meet Santa. I found this story a little more sad than the last; there is no dialogue at all and for me, the score seemed just a bit more dolente. Though enjoyable it hasn't the joy or optimism of the first one, either - indeed there is even the hint of melancholia about it. The animations are lovey, though, and it really is a fine piece of television.

A beautiful sequel

I have to disagree with the negative reviews: This short film captured perfectly well the magic and wonder from the original short. I found it to be quite wonderful from beginning to end.Granted, the pop song used here is nowhere comparable with "Walking in the Air", but The Snowman and the Snowdog is still an admirable work of love.
