The Snowman and The Snowdog
Dir: Hilary Audus
2012
****
Raymond Briggs's original Snowman is a classic. To even think about doing a modern day sequel is sacrilege or at least so I thought. Luckily with Hilary Audus (who worked on the original Snowman and Brigg's Father Christmas and Where the Wind Blows) it was in safe hands. The story is just as sweat and just as sad as the original and it tackles much of the same issues, primarily that of loss. Have a packet of tissues at the ready, you will cry!
