'sob' so good

Niceee.
The only other person that I know that remember this movie is my older sister. I remember my dad bringing the VHS home one day, and we watched it every morning one entire summer.
I honestly forget everything that happens in the movie, (with the exception of ice skating and many snow ppl) but my sister said she remember crying when he melted...
Wonder if I could find that DVD and soundtrack...

Aeris, I'm older than you, with children and I STILL cry every time I see it or hear the music. :-)

did anyone else's parents switch the tv channel so that you wouldn't see the snowman die?

I intend to buy the DVD as well. Maybe then I can see the entire film! :)
I awoke one morning to this movie on, and I loved the second half. But they never replayed it.
As for the film's bittersweet ending, Frosty the Snowman has a similar ending in the melting aspect.
I remember watching it with my young cousin, and when she cried at Frosty melting, I just explained to her that next winter he can come back good as new! She was relieved. :)

I understand that the DVD has another film on it as well? Anyone know anything about this other film?

The end always gets me too!

Best to sneak upstairs and watch it on the portable alone!

yeah,, my mom got "celtic woman" on dvd, and i was in the kitchen when i heard "walking in the air" and i'm going "whoa! i remember this! this is from that cartoon about the little boy and the snowman that fly! i love this song!" i'd practically forgotten about the movie, but it jogged my memory. i'd always wondered what the words to the song were..

it's just, so... beautiful.... it's bittersweet because you know it has to end, and you know the snowman has to melt, but it makes you so happy. especially if you have dreams about flying, like me. it just breaks one's heart, how it's so sad, like a parent looking at her child and saying, "you are so innocent, living with a view of simplicity that could end the world's problems, but soon you're going to grow up and lose it all, and never get it back."

just the music breaks your heart, the way it's played.... i hate to say it, but even the kareoke version gets the point across. why anyone would convert "walking in the air" into kareoke, i'll never know.

I feel like crying right now. "sniff" Excuse me.

"HOPSCOTCH!"

I have the CD (and the VHS and book) and it contain tracks with music with the spoken story and tracks with just the music.... and its both lovely! Truly a masterpiece.

I also heard the song walking on the air again and remembered not watched that Snowman Movie in years. I remember I used to get upset. Such a heart warming lovely movie.
