Watch The Snowman below:
The story relates the fleeting adventures of a young boy and a snowman who has come to life. In the second part of the story, the boy and the snowman fly to the North Pole. "Walking in the Air" is the theme for the journey. They attend a party of snowmen, at which the boy is the only human. They meet Father Christmas and his reindeer, and the boy is given a scarf with a snowman pattern. Excitingly, the story is set in Brighton and the film clearly features the Brighton Pier and the South Downs. Raymond Briggs is based in the nearby village of Ditchling.
