Originally published in 1978, The Snowman, created and illustrated by Raymond Briggs has become one of the world’s most popular children’s books, selling in excess of 8.5 million copies worldwide and being translated into over 15 languages.
In 1982, Raymond Briggs’ classic picture book The Snowman was adapted as a 26-minute animated film. The Snowman was first shown in the UK on 26 December 1982 and has since been shown every year on Channel 4; it has also delighted audiences across the world.
We’ll be joined by Unite the Union Brass Band, who some might have seen this year performing the soundtrack to Wallace & Gromit: The Wrong Trousers, who will once again provide the magical score for this delightful animation.
