Greatest Film Tearjerking Moments Q - Z (51 movies items)

"The enchanting, dreamlike, pencil-animated 26-minute Christmas-themed, Oscar-nominated short told about an unnamed red-haired English boy and his snowman friend from his front yard (created on Christmas Eve) that magically came to life and joined him to fly all around, as choirboy Peter Auty sang the ethereal, emotional "Walking In the Air"; during their soaring journey, the boy visited with St. Nick at the North Pole, who presided over a celebratory party with many dancing snow-people guests; t"

" Number 18 (The Snowman): The Snowman has made me feel more nostalgic than any other film I've ever seen. A simple story, told with charming simplicity, The Snowman is simply spellbinding. The Snowman is also notable for showing how a film with several flaws, can still be considered a masterpiece.

Review of The Snowman

Reason #2 is that short films only occasionally have enough depth or elements worth mentioning to make it worth the effort to write a review.

""I remember that winter because it had brought the heaviest snows I had ever seen. Snow had fallen steadily all night long and in the morning I woke in a room filled with light and silence, the world seemed to be held in a dream-like stillness. It was a magical day .. and it was on that day I made the snowman.""
