Watch The Snowman and The Snowdog For Free

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Basically a sequel of the classic The Snowman, this special is the same thing as the first special. A boy moves into a new home, his dog dies, he finds an old box with the snowman's old coals, hat and scarf, and he rebuilds the snowman thanks to a picture of the snowman and his boy (when was there a moment in the first short when the mom took a picture of the snowman).It's not awful or bad. The animation is wonderful to look at and looks like a storybook that came to life. I always enjoy looking at that. Once again, nobody talks in the short and a lot of character comes out in the simple animation and the music. The new boy is his own character and a bit older than the boy in the previous short, which can be interesting. It's kinda nice to see the snowman again as he hasn't changed much. He's still warm and friendly, and the relationship between the snow dog and the boy is kinda neat. The snowman party is updated a bit with a carnival setting and ski races, which is actually kinda fun, though I still prefer that dance party in the first short. The problem I have with the short is that it's a cut and paste of the first movie, just adding a dog. The boy builds a snowman solely because he's inspired by a picture of the boy who first built him. Doesn't that kinda suck the fun out of wanting to build a snowman? The first movie he did it because he was having fun in the snow, why couldn't this boy just have fun rather than shoehorn in the importance of the first short? Also, in creating a snow dog it takes away the importance of the snowman himself. There was just something charming about the snowman and the boy being together in the first short. Also, when the three go flying to the North Pole, there's a pop song involved and it sticks out like a sore thumb. And while it does seem cool to go flying on a biplane with a snowman, there was something more magical and whimsical about just gliding in the air like Peter Pan over towns and getting sprayed by a whale. What bothers me the most the whole thing is just a rushed cut and paste version of the previous film. Half of it is devoted to the boy and the other half is trying to squeeze in everything from the first film that we barely get to know the snowman at all. In the previous short, we knew him for his lively curiosity and warm personality, because it took the time to show us who he was and his relationship with the boy. And finally let's talk about the obvious ending and I don't think that I'm really giving anything away: The snow dog gets a magic collar that turns him into a real dog when the sun rises, but once again the snowman dies. Even though he dies in the first short, it was an ending that was truly heartbreaking because the relationship between him and the boy felt genuine. In this one, it was long foreseen since the start of the short and the audience can barely feel the relationship between the boy and the snowman thanks to the rushed pacing. This honestly seeing the snowman come alive again pretty pointless. It's not a horrendous short, but neither is it much of a classic. In many respects, it seems more like fan fiction than a Christmas short. The first one felt timeless, while this one had no real reason to exist. If you like it, I'm glad for you. There is some things to be enjoyed about the short, I just wish they devoted a bit more time to things like the relationship between the boy, the snowman, and the snow dog, or even expand the party rather rush it all in.

Well I really did like this animation, but I just cannot bring myself to watch it again. The main reason for this is that my memories of my dog who recently died, come flooding back when I watched it. Which in turn made me an emotional wreck for the following hour. I am going to take this as a good thing for the creators to make such an impact from their animation. But again I am sure I don't want to go through this again. So great animation but if you lost a dog recently, it will bring the memories flooding back and make you somewhat sad and depressed for a while. I guess if you don't have a dog or have not lost a dog then the impact of the animation might be a lot less. But for me one view is enough.

I watched this with bated breath. I couldn't wait to hear the classic musical score again. I couldn't wait to be transferred back in time like the guy eating Ratatouille in the movie Ratatouille. And then it started. The total ruination. The total hijacking of a masterpiece and a substitution with modern drivel, tripe. Idiocracy at work. It saddens me that we want our nostalgia for simpler times to be edited away. That we should make new memories of us being crammed into cities and lose our awe for the northern lights and instead want to see a giant Ferris wheel that costs 25 quid in the long line. The father has been subtracted out to show a modern shattered family? Not sure. And now we have a death of a pet in a children's tale? And the house went from halcyonic, simple-life, low impact countryside to crammed into a foul city where humans are grown and stored under oppressive oligarchical collectivists, pan national corporations and vile banks?I pine for the days when our nostalgia was for a purer, simpler time, not this modern rubbish drivel.I am aghast at the denigration and devolution that has been going on in such a short time.

The Snowman was a Christmas classic for Channel 4 - a station that by and large doesn't really seem to get into the holiday spirit. The Snowman and The Snowdog is basically that same classic with a handful of "bonuses".The writer seemed to have gotten drunk on Christmas with a boxset of Marley & Me, I am Legend and Old Yeller, clocking that people will fall over themselves to get overemotional about their pet dogs. It's the Call of Duty method of improving for a sequel. "Let's just stick with the original and add in some cool new features. How about dogs? People love dogs. We'll throw in a plane too."The Snowman's brilliance means this sequel is watchable, but it's completely unnecessary and its emptiness reeks of the shallow commercialism that encapsulates the worst of Christmas.
