the snowman

I’ve been thinking about my favorite Christmas movies lately. While the Muppet Christmas Carol holds the title, one of the notable others is The Snowman. I don’t think it gets enough attention, but then again I feel like it requires kind of a long attention span, because there’s no dialogue. It won a few awards when it came out in the early 80s though. I think I a little biased to liking it because I remember watching it every Christmas season in my childhood, so it’s familiar. What isn’t familiar is when I went looking for it online, and realized that David Bowie is in it. Yes, that David Bowie. Take a look on google videos here. Poignant ending, no?
