    • Trivia
      Despite the smallish fee on offer, Robbie Williams was only too happy to co-write and sing the song featured as he was a huge fan of Raymond Briggs 'The Snowman' animated short film of the mid 1980s as a child and wanted to be part of something equally magical that children would still be watching at Christmas decades later. And despite being a major Hollywood film and television star, Benedict Cumberbatch's involvement was also because of his fond childhood memories of The Snowman.

    Childhood imagination

    A beautiful re-telling of the classic book. It retains the magic of the original story, adding to the beautiful illustrations with lovely music. It's obviously pitched for very young children, as an adult remembering being read the story by my mother, I found it really touching. It's about childhood imagination and adventure. The cat (seen at the beginning and towards the end), becomes a tiger to little Sophie.
