This acts as a wonderful tribute to two fine people; Bernard Cribbins, a splendid actor and narrator, and Raymond Briggs, who created books for everyone and gave us a Christmas present that will last a lifetime. God bless them both.

So, I'm 70, and I just watched this program for the very first time. It's beautiful! I'm in the US, and my husband and I went to hear Sarah Brightman last week in concert. We absolutely love her voice and her music! One of the songs she sang was "Walking In The Air." It sounded familiar to me, but I wasn't sure where I had heard it. Of course, she did a fabulous job, along with the young man who sang with her. I was mesmerized. When she mentioned the program that the song came from, I made a note to watch it and just did. The story and the artistry are brilliant and timeless. I'm sure it has been to many children in the UK what "A Charlie Brown Christmas" was to me as a little girl. I wish children would simply be allowed to be children and maintain their innocence for as long as possible. Merry Christmas everyone!

I don't know what made me think of this film. My mother would rent this for me every winter when I was younger starting around the age of 4. The main thing I remembered "what was that animated film with the snowman and and the motorcycle". Not gonna lie, this has me balling my eyes out, remembering what it was like to take so much joy in renting a VHS from the local library and watching a ridiculous animated film of a snow man that comes to life and entertains a child, life being simpler and the world hadn't gone to complete…well you know. Im 40 now and hope to one day share this with a child of my own.

This was a movie that my Grandma and I used to watch every Christmas when I was a kid. It is a very special film to me but even more so now because Grandma passed away just this past November. I could not watch the ending without tearing up. With the music and the imagery of the melted snowman, it was just too much for me to handle. Sorry for the buzzkill comment but typing this out was comforting to me. If you lost someone this year then my heart goes out to you and I hope you are finding good way to cope.

I am 46. Grew up with this masterpiece of wonderfully handcrafted animation, deep powerful music that stirs up true emotions, and enchanting depth of pure innocence. Even presented by a long lost legend. Today we've lost our humanity to shallowness, cancel culture, influencers and inclusive trends, polluting "souls" with a superficial nonsense. A world deprived of meaningful depth. Sad. Well, very happy to have had the start I've had in life. A blissful childhood, in touch with nature. &The right values. O' sweet nostalgia!:)

In fact, I watch this every year around Christmas and this is the first time that I can say that I have heard this version. How, after 34 years of seeing this amazing short film/cartoon every year, am I just finding this particular version? I am utterly astonished. I feel cheated. But now, as an adult, I am blessed, because I finally came upon this version on Christmas. To all those reading this, I wish you and yours a Merry Christmas. As well as a wonderful Holiday. Much love to all of you.

_The Snowman_ , first published in 1978, by Raymond Briggs (1934-2022) is the all-picture book that this animated film was adapted from. Are you sure the book you referenced was, in fact, from the 1950's? Perhaps, the book you recall in your memory is actually a _composite_ of Briggs' 1978 book with one or more other works, at least one of which dates back to the 1950's? (Memory often works this way; what we recall as a single incident or entity is often, in reality, a _composite_ of two or more distinct entities or memories, etc.)
