Plot
One Christmas Eve, a young boy named James wakes up to a winter wonderland outside his door and rushes outside to build a snowman. Dressing the snowman properly with a scarf and hat, the boy then goes to bed and leaves his new friend outside in the cold. By some christmas miracle, the snowy shape comes to life and invites James on a magical christmas journey to the North Pole!
With Howards Blake’s iconic ‘Walking in the Air’ dreamily playing in the background, the snowman and James soar through the starry sky together, meeting hilarious penguins, beautiful ice princesses and let’s not forget... Father Christmas along the way!
Based on Raymond Briggs phenomenal children’s book, the pages are brought to life in a dazzling and heart-warming production of The Snowman. Get yourself in the christmas spirit and share this classic with all the family!
