The snowman was released in 1982 on channel 4. The film is about a boy on Christmas eve who makes a snowman, the snowman comes to life and has a night of adventures with him.
I love the old animated style to this film even to this day.
The animation was coloured with pastels, crayons and a few other colouring tools, then put together on celluloid. The background was painted in the same style so it would blend in.
I love the light tinted colours the pastels give off. The tinted colours are obviously dominant in this film, though there are some shaded colours here and there.
I suspect that lighter colours were used to make the view feel how cold the scene is, since the scene when they are in the house, the colours are slightly darker.
This will always be one of my favourite films, not only because the story and ending were so amazing but because I haven't seen many other film with such a beautiful art style and colour pallet as this one.
