  2. Oh, that music in The Snowman is so lovely! It's one of those cartoons that really captures your imagination! I love it! It's truly beautiful!

    And I also adore 'Twas the Night before Christmas! Just seeing the image of the mice above makes me feel like a little girl, again! Precious!

  6. Haven't seen The Snowman for many years, but it was very touching without being mawkish. Good choice!
