One winter's day a boy builds a snowman then,
at the stroke of midnight the snowman comes to life. The boy invites the
snowman in the house were they play and explore while his parents slept.
After exploring the house they go outside
where they go on a motorcycle right and later they fly over the boy's village
and soon they are flying over the ocean. When they finally land they are in a
snow-covered forest where they join a party of snowmen and meet Father
Christmas with his reindeer. After a while they return home and they boy goes
to bed. The morning after the return journey, the sun has come out and the boy
wakes up to find the snowman has melted. Then he reaches into his pocket and
finds the snowman scarf given to him by Father Christmas. It had been a
wonderful night indeed.

sequel: The Snowman and the Snowdog (from Wikipedia)
A new twenty three minute special titled The
Snowman and The Snowdog aired on Channel 4 on Christmas Eve 2012 at 8pm GMT, to
celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of the original short and of Channel 4.
Produced at the London-based animation company Lupus Films, with many of the
original team returning, the sequel was made in the same traditional techniques
as the first film, and features the Snowman, a new little boy and a snow dog,
flying over landmarks and going to another party.
The idea of a sequel had been resisted by
Raymond Briggs for several years, but he gave his permission for the film in
2012.
The sequel was dedicated to the memory of
producer John Coates, who died in September 2012, during its production.
