In a groundbreaking new animation from 2017, the classic adventure is retold as The Snowman now has a new snowpartner and only together do they meet the little boy and take him on a whimsical adventure.

Wondering why you have not seen the original “Snowman” in our guide this year and why a snowwoman? The creator of the original “The Snowman” has all the answers! OFCOM told me to censure the original animation as it told the story of a single man partaking in a “relationship” of sorts with a younger boy and for today’s audience that could now be considered appropriate.  So this year I created a new way to tell the classic tale that would fit our more politically correct and enlightened times.  The Snowmum and Snowdad is a new animation planned for 2018.
