"The Snowman" OR post #27

"The Snowman" is a english silent film, about a yound boy that builds a snowman. One evening before he goes to sleep, he looks out the window, and suddenly sees his snowman come to life. He quickly runs outside and brings the snowman back into his house Together, they play dressup, watch TV, and even go flying through the air. The two take a trip to the north pole, where the young boy meets other snowmen. They have a party together, and dance the night away.
When the evening is through, the snowman and the young boy fly back home together. The snowman puts the boy to sleep, and then disappears. When the boy wakes up the following morning, he immediatley runs outside to hopefully play with the living snowman again. Unfortuantely, all he discovers in a melted snowman.
Did the boy ACTUALLY play and fly with the snowman? I don't think you will ever be able to really know.

'The Snowman" seems like the story of frosty the snowman where the snowman comes to life and goes to the north pole on a train. I don't know if they were intended to be based of each other but 'The Snowman' just reminded me of that.

No, the Snowman is an English film. It may be some how related, but I don't think so, since the boy is apparently "just dreaming."
