I dont remember a lot about this movie. I first saw this film 10 years ago. I haven't seen it since but I remember this British TV special being a half an hour piece of christmas magic.
Raymond Briggs was always a bit of a childhood hero of mine. It seems that the fact that all his storeys were actually quite dark was only ever picked up and enjoyed by children. The ending of this story is absolutely devastating and yet it's the bit everyone seems to forget and ... read more

Wow, I grew up on this, I used to watch it alot as a child. I watched it this Christmas for the first time in years and it's still great. There is no dialog, just all facial expressions, sounds, and music. It was nominated for best animated short in 1982, but sadly didn't win. It... read more
