When we last left off our heroes, they were floating in the air while a singer was singing a cheesy song. So, what will the final eight minutes contain? Let’s find out!
The two then land in what I assume is the arctic as they come across a pack of snowmen, who are all circled around the jolly fat man himself. Because it’s not a Christmas Special without Santa Claus. So with this, my assumption that the Snowman abducted the kid was nothing more than a mere “Hey, kid, I got something cool to show you! Besides my cool flying skills!” And so they had the best damn party ever. I can’t help but feel that this is somehow an analogy for a foreign celebration. Or at least based off one.
And so Santa, being the cool boss he is, allows the kid to go and pet some of his reindeer. Again, no red-nosed one so this is probably before Rudolf. Oh, and the kid gets a scarf for a present. And off they go back to the kid’s home, and the kid falls to sleep. The next morning, the kid gets up, only to find that the snowman has melted... How? Was it that hot that it melted the snowman? But if that’s the case, shouldn’t the snow on the ground also be melted too and thus reveal grass? Whatever, movie’s over, dude’s telling me to watch The Grinch, but when I did, apparently the Warner Brothers blocked it on my grounds. DAMN YOU YAKKO AND WAKKO! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!
KAMEN RIDE: DIEND!
What did I think of The Snowman? Eh, it’s alright. I can’t say I enjoyed it, but I can’t say I hated it either. I think this isn’t my kind of movie. Annabelle’s Wish was more of a movie I’d enjoy, which is ironic because from my critical point of view, The Snowman would easily be the movie I’d recommend more, mostly because it’s not that clichéd. Okay, you still had the obligatory Santa cameo, but other than that, it’s less of a bother than Annabelle’s Wish.
The art style is simply gorgeous. It’s not like anything I have seen before, which puts it miles above Annabelle’s Wish. The music is also a point higher than Annabelle’s Wish, mostly because Randy Travis can’t make me laugh like the singer for “Walking In The Air” can. However, Annabelle’s Wish trumps this in terms of telling a story. Yes, it’s clichéd as all hell, but there’s a story. Here? Kid builds snowman, they have wacky adventures, snowman melts, the end! This sort of perplexes me, because despite my criticisms towards it, I enjoy Annabelle’s Wish more than The Snowman. The Snowman is just simply eye candy for the kids and artistically inspired. Mind you, it’s good eye candy, but it’s the kind where if you’re bored and got nothing to do, this would be a good film to watch. It’s short, to the point, and has no actual plot or theme to shove down your throat. Just shut your brain off, pop some popcorn, and enjoy.
Well, adios.
