Chopsy Baby is Reviewing… The Snowman: 30th Anniversary Edition on Blu-Ray and DVD

The Snowman: 30th Anniversary Edition

Few can fail to be touched by this heart warming tale about a young boy and his magical adventure with a snowman.

Raymond Briggs’ classic story and delightful animation, with score by Howard Blake, is a firm family favourite now celebrating its 30th anniversary.

To mark the occasion, the film has been released in high definition for the first time ever – just in time for Christmas.

The best thing about this DVD, is that it goes to prove no matter how much you create brilliant 3D computer animation (looking at you Disney, Pixar and Dreamworks) the oldest methods, along with a beautiful story still prove to be best.

As well as the movie, there are some bonus extras, including a 35 minute film going behind the scenes of its creation.

The new DVD gives the animation a great clarity, whilst preserving the warmth of its animated style. It’s absolutely perfect as a gift for three-year-olds and their families this Christmas. Quite simply, The Snowman is one of those traditional treasures to be passed down from generation to generation.
