After the beautiful wordless short hit that
was short The Snowman in 1982, we have a sequel on the 30th
anniversary of such a beloved classic. Following the young child from the
original as he moves house and suffers the loss of his dog, we’re once again drawn
into the magical world of the snowman on the eve of Christmas. Much like its
predecessor, no characters speak; TSATS is a silent short, the only words are
lyrics from the song that erupts during the film’s most impressive scene. The
flickering art style and gorgeous animation has been retained that adds to the
magical splendour excellently. The story is light, the plot nearly identical to
The Snowman and the Snowdog’s character almost superfluous, but TSATS is a
worthy sequel, complete with one of the most graceful flying scenes you’re
likely to ever witness.
