                              ★★★☆☆

          The Snowman is one of my all-time favorite pieces of animation (动画片) . Directed by Dianne Jackson and produced by Jonathan Coates,this film is truly filled with wonder. The music by Howard Blake,Walking in the Air,stays with me for days every time I watch this film. Based on the best-selling book by Raymond Briggs,this animation is true to the original story and one you can share with your family during the holiday season.

          In The Snowman,a young boy called James wakes up one morning and finds snow on the ground. Jle quickly gets dressed and runs outside. He then builds a huge snowman. He gives it eyes,a nose,a scarf and a hat. He. even gives it a big smiley face. After building the entire snowman by himself,it is time for James to go to bed. When he wakes up again he notices that the snowman has moved a little,so he runs downstairs and out of the door. He then notices the snowman is glowing,moves some more and then totally comes to life. The snowman and James introduce themselves to each other and become great friends. The rest,of the film shows the two flying around with so much^ fun and adventure throughout the day.

            The book,The Snowman,was adapted for the screen in 1982. It was (提名) for an Academy Award for best animated short film. The scenes of the animation are just amazing,bringing to life so many memories from the days of mowe 以(电影短片) .The Silence in the film,meaning that there is no dialogue,makes it even more beautiful and old-fashioned.
